Concept explainers

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Chapter 7, Problem 2MCQ

Which answer best represents the system’s change in energy for the following process? The system includes Earth, two carts, and a compressed spring between the carts. The spring is released, and in the final state, one cart is moving up a frictionless ramp until it stops. The other cart is moving in the opposite direction on a horizontal frictionless track.
