Energy that is 'lost" to heat, has merely been converted to another form, not<br> lost forever.
MAXImum [283]

Answer: if the heat energy is wasted, then, energy is lost forever.

Explanation: According to conservative of energy, which state that energy is neither created nor destroyed but only convert from one form to another.

The energy which should have been used in one form has been converted to heat energy which could have been used for for thing or the other, if there is nothing the heat energy can be used for, then the energy is wasted. This is tantamount to being lost forever.

A train travels at a speed of 30 m/s. The train starts at an initial position of 1000 meters and travels for 30 seconds. What is
torisob [31]

Answer:

1900 metres

Explanation:

Given that a train travels at a speed of 30 m/s. The train starts at an initial position of 1000 meters and travels for 30 seconds.

The parameters to be considered are:

Speed = 30 m/s

Time = 30 seconds

Speed = distance/time

Substitute the parameters into the formula

30 = distance / 30

Cross multiply

Distance = 30 × 30

Distance = 900 m

Since the train started from a position of 1000 m , the final position will be:

Final position = 1000 + 900

Final position = 1900 metres

A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s

6. Your 60-watt light bulb is plugged into a 110-volt household outlet and left on for 3 hours. The utility company charges you
elena55 [62]

Answer:

0.0198 dollars

Explanation:

We first obtain the total energy drawn by the light bulb in kilowatt-hour (kW-hr) using the following relationship;

Energy = power rating x time

Given;

power rating = 60W,

time = 3hrs

Therefore,

Energy consumed = 60W x 3hr

Energy consumed = 180W-hr = 0.18kW-hr

We then multiply this energy in kW-hr by he amount charged per unit kW-hr as follows;

Given that 1kW-hr= 0.11 dollars

0.18kW-hr = 0.18 x 0.11

                = 0.0198 dollars
