Accepted Answer
#2Use the formula ... Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²#3 - a).sun => energy travels as electromagnetic waves => reaches Earth as heat & light energy.sun => absorbed in plants => eaten by animals => animals die => decay into oil in millions of years => we burn the oil to get the energy. #3 - b).food I ate for lunch => metabolized into glucose by my body => some of it burned in my muscles to generate energy for immediate needs => the rest of it stored as fat for future needs.#3 - c).flower pot rolls off the ledge => gravity does work on it all the way down, producing the kinetic energy it has when it hits the floor.#3 - d).oil or natural gas is burned, releasing heat energy => energy is used to generate electricity => electricity flows through cables from the power generating plant to your home => hot plate plugged into the wall => turns electrical energy back into heat energy => heat energy is conducted into the bottom of the beaker, flows through the glass to the inside surface => heat energy is conducted from the inside of the glass to the water, which gets hotter as it absorbs more energy. =============================Note:#1 on the sheet is wrong."Work = force x distance" that's correctBut 25-kg is the mass of the ball, not the gravitational force on it.The force on it is (mass) x (gravity), called its "weight". That's (25-kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 245 kg-m/s² = 245 newtons .
