The event that illustrates the direct transformation of potential to kinetic energy is the spring of

a broken toy shoots up. In this scenario, the potential energy stored in the compressed spring is
transformed into kinetic energy as the spring shoots up.
Loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy.
To find the velocity of the object just before it hits the ground, we need to first calculate its
potential energy at the top of the hill and then use the principle of conservation of energy to
determine its kinetic energy just before impact.(6m/s)
A fully spring wound toy fan that is about to rotate possesses a potential energy (elastic
potential energy). Elastic potential energy is a stored energy which can be converted into some
other forms of energy like kinetic energy which is an energy in motion.
To find the change in the internal energy of the gas, we can use the first law of thermodynamics,
which states that the change in internal energy (∆U) of a system is equal to the heat added to the
system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W):
ΔU = Q – W (500 J)
To find the change in the internal energy of the gas, we can use the first law of thermodynamics,
which states that the change in internal energy (∆U) of a system is equal to the heat added to the
system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W):
ΔU = Q – W(1596 J)
If a well is drilled deep into the earth, the water pressure at the bottom of the well is
approximately equal to the surrounding rock pressure at that depth but the top of the well is at
atmospheric pressure. It is this differential in pressure that forces water upward from a higher
pressure to a lower pressure
When an ideal gas is compressed without allowing any heat to flow into or out of the gas, the
temperature increases since no heat flows during the process. ... this will result in the
production of friction which increases the heat of gas. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to
gas temperature.
-The function of a heat engine is to convert thermal energy (heat) into mechanical work.
Heat engines operate based on the principles of thermodynamics, specifically the conversion of
heat into useful work.
-To find the final internal energy of the system, we can use the first law of thermodynamics,
which states that the change in internal energy (∆U) of a system is equal to the heat added to the
system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W):ΔU = Q – W(47 J)
In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced
by most generators is in the form of alternating current.
-Heat engines are not 100% efficient due to various factors, including friction, heat losses, and
incomplete conversion of thermal energy into mechanical work. In a typical heat engine, only a
portion of the heat energy extracted from the high-temperature reservoir can be converted into
useful work, while the rest is lost to the surroundings as waste heat. Some of the gases taken up
in the piston
-Yes, hotness means there is an increase in the temperature. When Mang Fermin observed
that the wood he was planing became hot after a few minutes, it indicates that heat was
transferred to the wood from the planar. This increase in temperature of the wood is evidence of
heat transfer, as heat moved from the higher temperature source (the planar) to the lower
temperature object (the wood), resulting in a temperature increase. Therefore, the observation of
the wood becoming hot is indeed evidence of heat transfer.
-You have to remove on the dry cells so that the power supply lessen in order to for the motor to
turn slower.
-Alternating current (AC) is the type of electric current generated by the vast majority of power
plants and used by most power distribution systems. Alternating current is easier to generate
and transmitting alternating current leads to lower energy losses than direct current over
distances more than a few metres
-Until electromagnetism was discovered, scientists thought that electricity and magnetism were
unrelated. A Danish scientist named Hans Christian Oersted changed all that. He discovered
that electric current in a wire can deflect a magnetized compass needle that means electric
current creates a magnetic field.
-In power stations generating electricity, power is typically measured in watts (W) or kilowatts
(kW), where 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts. Additionally, larger power stations may use
megawatts (MW) or gigawatts (GW) to represent power output on a larger scale. Power is a
measure of the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, and it indicates how much work
can be done per unit of time. Therefore, in the context of electricity generation, power
measurement is essential for assessing the capacity and efficiency of power plants and ensuring
the reliable supply of electrical energy to consumers.
-Kilowatt hour is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers’ homes by
electric utility companies
