Explanation:

Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one location to another. For example, when electricity moves from a wall plug, through a charger, to a battery.

Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another – like in a hydroelectric dam that transforms the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy.

A 1 kg particle moves upward from the origin to (23) m. Wit is work done by the force of gravity which is in - y direction s B.

sveta [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 1 kg

Position (2, 3 ) m

height, h = 2 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Here, no force is acting in horizontal direction, the force of gravity is acting in vertical direction, so the work done by the gravitational force is to be calculated.

Force mass x acceleration due to gravity

F = 1 x 9.8 = 9.8 N

Work = force x displacement x CosФ

Where, Ф be the angle between force vector and the displacement vector.

Here the value of Ф is 180° as the force acting vertically downward and the displacement is upward

So, W = 9.8 x 2 x Cos 180°

W = - 19.6 J

Thus, option (A) is correct.

A car accelerates from rest at 3.6 m/s 2 . How much time does it need to attain a speed of 5 m/s?

Olenka [21]

car starts from rest

$v_i = 0$

final speed attained by the car is

$v_f = 5 m/s$

acceleration of the car will be

$a = 3.6 m/s^2$

now the time to reach this final speed will be

$t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}$

$t = \frac{5 - 0}{3.6}$

$t = 1.39 s$

so it required 1.39 s to reach this final speed

A .5 kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a .8 kg toy car that is traveling at 2 m/s what is the

Viktor [21]

Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
$m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}$

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 3.2 MW. What is the intensity of

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$I=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$

Explanation:

The intensity is related to the power and surface area by $I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$ . We need to calculate the surface area of a sphere of radius r=4.3ly.

Since 4.3ly is the distance light travels in 4.3 years at 299792458m/s, we can obtain it in meters by doing:

$r=vt=(299792458m/s)(4.3\times365\times24\times60\times60s)=4.1\times10^{16}m$

So we have:

$I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}=\frac{3.2\times10^6W}{4\pi (4.1\times10^{16}m)^2}=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2$
