AI Thread Summary
Energy is related to work in that when work is done on a system, it gains energy, and energy can be used to do work in a system. Heat energy is not part of the useful work done by machines, so it is considered wasted energy. Participants in the discussion are attempting to fill in the blanks correctly, with suggestions including "work" and "energy." There is a consensus that the last part should be "and energy can be used to do work in a system." The conversation emphasizes the relationship between work, energy, and the concept of wasted heat energy.

Homework Statement


Fill in the blanks:
Energy is related to work in the way that, when _______ is done on a system, it gains _______, and _______ can be used to do _______ in a system.

The heat energy isn't part of the useful work done by machines, so this energy is considered _______.

Homework Equations


i don't really know what all words would fit in. i just came up with those. if you think you know it just reply back i would appreciate any answer. but i would love it if they were right :biggrin: haha

The Attempt at a Solution


i think but I am not sure if its right
Energy is related to work in the way that, when WORK is done on a system, it gains ENERGY, and _______ can be used to do _______ in a system.thank you! :-p

Yeah, that seems right. Then go energy, work for the last two?
 
i think the last part is "and energy can be used to do work in a system".it makes sense that way i don't know bout the part u filled out.
 
thank you!

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
