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.

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

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!

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
