A team of students builds a lever as a science project. They expend 10,300 Joules of energy to lift some bricks with the lever. If 6,283 Joules of energy are applied to the bricks, what is the lever’s efficiency?
The efficiency of a lever is determined by dividing the output energy by the input energy and multiplying by 100% to get a percentage. Therefore, the efficiency of the lever in this case can be calculated as follows:
Efficiency = (Output Energy / Input Energy) x 100%
The output energy is the energy used to lift the bricks, which is given as 6,283 Joules in the problem. The input energy is the energy expended by the team to lift the bricks, which is given as 10,300 Joules in the problem. Therefore:
Efficiency = (6,283 / 10,300) x 100%
Efficiency = 0.61 x 100%
Efficiency = 61%
Therefore, the efficiency of the lever is 61%.

The sentence that best describes how a self-directed learner might investigate gravity is:
"She would think of a way to test the effect of gravity, develop a plan, and carry out the investigation."
A self-directed learner takes responsibility for their own learning and is proactive in seeking out information and solving problems. Therefore, such a learner will not rely solely on online sources or instructions from a teacher but will develop their own ideas and methods for investigating a topic. In this case, a self-directed learner would explore various ways to test the effects of gravity and develop a plan for carrying out an investigation based on their own interests and goals.
The correct answer is:
15.54 meters per second
Here is the step-by-step solution:
The force of air resistance acting on an object is given by the formula:
F = 0.5 * ρ * v^2 * Cd * A
where:
- F is the force of air resistance
- ρ is the density of air
- v is the velocity of the object relative to the air
- Cd is the coefficient of drag
- A is the cross-sectional area of the object
At terminal velocity, the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force of gravity, so:
F = m * g
where:
- m is the mass of the object
- g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2)
Setting these two equations equal to each other, we get:
m * g = 0.5 * ρ * v^2 * Cd * A
Solving for v, we get:
v = √(2 * m * g / (ρ * Cd * A))
Plugging in the given values, we get:
v = √(2 * 0.065 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 / (1.1 kg/m^3 * 0.6 * 0.008 m^2))
v ≈ 15.54 m/s
Therefore, the data recorder's velocity is approximately 15.54 meters per second when it hits the ground.
When thermal energy is applied to water, its molecules gain kinetic energy.
Thermal energy is a form of energy that is associated with the motion of particles in a substance. When thermal energy is added to water, the heat energy causes the molecules of water to move and vibrate more rapidly, and this increase in motion and vibration corresponds to an increase in kinetic energy.
Therefore, the correct choice is:
Its molecules gain kinetic energy.

A team of students is testing for a toy rocket. They want the rocket to land safely so that they can refuel it and use it again. How can they design a parachute that will make the rocket land at a slower velocity?
They can make a parachute hat deploys sooner.
They can make a parachute with less mass.
They can make a parachute with more mass.
They can make a parachute with greater surface area.
They can make a parachute with greater surface area.
The primary function of a parachute is to create air resistance, which slows down the velocity of the object to which it is attached. The amount of air resistance depends on factors such as the size, shape, and mass of the parachute. In this case, the students want to slow down the velocity of the toy rocket so that it lands safely. Therefore, they should design a parachute with a greater surface area, which will increase the amount of air resistance and slow down the descent speed of the rocket.

A sprinter runs 100 meters at a speed of 7 meters per second. Then she cools down by running 100 meters at 3.5 meters per second. What is the best prediction?
Her kinetic energy decreases by a factor of 4 when she cools down
Her kinetic energy doubles when she cools down
Her kinetic energy decrease by a factor of 2 when she cools down
Her kineyic energy stays the same
The best prediction is that her kinetic energy decreases by a factor of 4 when she cools down.
The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula:
K = 1/2 * m * v^2
where:
- K is the kinetic energy
- m is the mass of the object
- v is the velocity of the object
Since the sprinter runs the same distance of 100 meters in both cases, we can assume her mass stays constant and compare the kinetic energy at both speeds.
When she runs the first 100 meters at a speed of 7 meters per second, her kinetic energy is:
K1 = 1/2 * m * v1^2
K1 = 1/2 * m * 7^2
When she cools down by running the second 100 meters at a speed of 3.5 meters per second, her kinetic energy is:
K2 = 1/2 * m * v2^2
K2 = 1/2 * m * 3.5^2
To find the factor by which her kinetic energy decreases, we can calculate K2/K1:
K2/K1 = [(1/2) * m * 3.5^2] / [(1/2) * m * 7^2]
K2/K1 = (3.5/7)^2
K2/K1 = 0.25
Therefore, the best prediction is that her kinetic energy decreases by a factor of 4 when she cools down (i.e. her kinetic energy is 1/4 of her original kinetic energy).
a big rig truck loses its brakes going down a steep highway/ The truck has a mass of 36,300 kilograms and is traveling at 78 miles per hour ( 38.4 meters per second.) How much kinetic energy does the truck have when the driver turns into the deep gravel of an emergency ramp
21,919,824 J
629,880 J
110,120,400 J
43,839,648 J
The correct answer is:
43,839,648 J
Here is the step-by-step solution:
First, we need to convert the speed of the truck from miles per hour to meters per second:
38.4 meters per second = 86 miles per hour
The kinetic energy of the truck is given by the formula:
KE = 0.5 * m * v^2
where:
- KE is the kinetic energy
- m is the mass of the truck
- v is the velocity of the truck
Substituting the given values, we get:
KE = 0.5 * 36,300 kg * (38.4 m/s)^2
KE ≈ 43,839,648 J
Therefore, the truck has approximately 43,839,648 J of kinetic energy when the driver turns into the deep gravel of an emergency ramp.
Where do the forces that make atoms interact come from?
From the electric fields of neutral molecules
From the electric fields f neutral subatomic particles
From the electric fields of charged molecules
From the electric fields of charged subatomic particles.
The forces that make atoms interact come primarily from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles.
Atoms are composed of positively charged protons, negatively charged electrons, and neutral neutrons. The protons and electrons are held together by the electromagnetic force, which is the force of attraction or repulsion between electrically charged particles. This electromagnetic force is created by the electric fields surrounding the charged particles. The neutrons do not have an electric charge, but they also contribute to the stability of the atom by attracting and repelling the protons through another force called the strong nuclear force.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
From the electric fields of charged subatomic particles.
which of the following factors would decrease the magnetic field strength of an electromagnet?
increasing the current or using a higher-voltage power source
increasing the number of turn in the coil of wire
using an iron core or nail
increasing the distances between the turns of coil
Increasing the distances between the turns of coil would decrease the magnetic field strength of an electromagnet.
The strength of an electromagnet depends on several factors, including the strength of the electric current flowing through the coil, the number of turns in the coil, and the composition and shape of the core. One of the most important factors is the distance between the turns of the coil. If the distance between the turns is increased, it reduces the amount of current that passes through each turn, and this reduction in current leads to a decrease in the strength of the magnetic field. Therefore, if the distance between turns is increased, the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet will decrease.
Therefore, the correct choice is:
Increasing the distances between the turns of coil.
What happens when thermal energy is applied to water? (1 point)
Its molecules gain potential energy
Its Molecules gain kinetic energy

what is the best relationship between heat and thermal conductors
Thermal conductors have no effect on heat
Thermal conductors allow all of the the thermal energy in one object or substance to be easily transferred to another object or substance
Thermal conductors facilitate heat, the transfer of thermal energy
Thermal conductors impede heat, the transfer of thermal energy.
The best relationship between heat and thermal conductors is that thermal conductors facilitate heat, the transfer of thermal energy.
Thermal conductors are materials that are good at transferring thermal energy (heat). When a thermal conductor comes into contact with an object or substance that is hotter or colder than itself, heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object until they reach thermal equilibrium (the same temperature). The thermal conductivity of a material determines how easily it can transfer thermal energy. Higher conductivity means that the material can transfer heat more easily.
Therefore, the correct choice is:
Thermal conductors facilitate heat, the transfer of thermal energy.

35.9 J
266.5 J
266.5 J
1.3 J
1.3 J
151.2 J
The correct answer is:
266.5 J
Here is the step-by-step solution:
The kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula:
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
where:
- KE is the kinetic energy
- m is the mass of the object
- v is the velocity of the object
We can calculate the difference in kinetic energy between the two velocities by subtracting the KE of the bowling ball at 14 mph from the KE at 16 mph:
ΔKE = KE16 - KE14
ΔKE = (1/2 * 6 kg * (7.1 m/s)^2) - (1/2 * 6 kg * (6.2 m/s)^2)
ΔKE ≈ 266.5 J
Therefore, the difference in kinetic energy between the bowling ball rolling at 16 mph and 14 mph is approximately 266.5 J.

The forces that make atoms interact come from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles.
Atoms consist of neutrons, protons, and electrons. The protons and electrons have electric charges, which give rise to the electric fields around them. These electric fields allow atoms to interact with each other, through attraction and repulsion between oppositely charged or similarly charged particles. This force of interaction is called the electromagnetic force or Coulomb force, and it is one of the four fundamental forces that govern the behavior of matter in the universe.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles.
When two charged particles are moving toward each other, their velocities decrease until they eventually come to a stop. What happens afterward?(1 point)
Responses
They accelerate toward each other.
They accelerate toward each other.
They accelerate in opposite directions.
They accelerate in opposite directions.
They bond and accelerate together.
They bond and accelerate together.
They remain in the same place without moving
When two charged particles are moving toward each other and come to a stop, they accelerate toward each other.
When charged particles are moving toward each other with opposite charges, they are attracted to each other by the electromagnetic force. As they approach each other, their kinetic energy is converted to potential energy in the electric field, causing their velocities to decrease. Eventually, they will come to a stop, experiencing the maximum attraction force at this point, and then accelerate toward each other. The acceleration is caused by the conversion of the stored potential energy into kinetic energy as the particles move closer together.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
They accelerate toward each other.
