The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process

A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable.

babunello [35]

Answer:

The tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward

Explanation:

The complete question is:

A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable. What is the Tension (magnitude and direction of the force) in the cable?

ANS:

Tension is the force applied axially by rope, chain, cable, rod, etc, as a reaction force. The direction of tension is always towards the support. Since, the support here, is ceiling.

Therefore, the direction of tension force will be <u>vertically upward</u><u>.</u>

Since the chandelier is hanging stationary, without any motion. Thus, there must not be any unbalanced force applied on it.

Hence, the tension force must be equal to the weight of chandelier.

Tension Force = Weight of Chandelier

T = W = mg

T = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Thus, the tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward</u>

Witch answer represents a speed, of velocity A-35m/s B-35 m/s south C- 35 m/s east -35 m/a down

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

A 35 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of any object is scalar quantity while velocity is a vector. The scalar quantity is represented only by magnitude it doesn't need direction.

Hence, option A is correct as all other options have direction as well.

A. A person does 5415J of work in 4.5 minutes, how much power, expressed in watts, rounded to the tenths place, was generated?

iris [78.8K]

Answer: I only have the answer for A, but still, the answer is 20.07.

Explanation: Because the number ends in a 15, round to the nearest tenth which is 20. So now the number is 5420.
To get the Watts (W) you have to take 5420 and divide it by the time in seconds. 4.5 minutes in seconds is 270, so 5420 divided by 270 equals 20.07.
So 20.07 is the answer.

Light takes 1.2 sec to get from the moon to the Earth. Assume you are looking at the moon with noticeable earth shine. If the Su

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1.2 seconds

Explanation:

Answer to the following question is 1.2 seconds

Because light from the moon takes 1.2 seconds to reach Earth, the light released from the crescent immediately before it vanishes will also take 1.2 seconds to reach Earth. As a result, the earth-shine portion of the moon will vanish 1.2 seconds after the crescent has vanished.
