While spending the weekend in your cabin, you burn wood in your pot-bellied stove to heat a kettle of water for tea. Answer the following questions for 2 points each:

1. What type of energy does the wood have in this situation. Explain your answer.

2. What type of energy is this transformed into as the wood it burned in the stove. Explain your answer.

3. What type of heat transfer is being used to warm the kettle of water? Why does the water eventually boil?

1 = Heat

2=gas

3=it gets hot enough to boil because the metal conducts the heat into the water to heat it up and eventually boil.

Explanation: its common sense

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
