A rope hangs over a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling. A weight is attached to each end of the rope. One end of the ro

pe has 10 kg weight, the other has a 20 kg weight. The system consists of: the pulley, rope, the two weights, and Earth. Initially the weights are suspended at the same height above the ground. When the weights are released, the heavier weight falls, lifting up the lighter weight. Movement stops when the heavier weight reaches the floor.
Which choice best describes the changes in kinetic and potential energy?

At the moment when the movement stops, the lighter object has zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy while the heavier object has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of isolated system is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

  • P.E is the potential energy
  • K.E is the kinetic energy

Therefore, at the moment when the movement stops, the lighter object has zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy while the heavier object has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 22 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim
sleet_krkn [62]

speed of the car is given on the road

v = 22 m/s

reaction time is given as

t = 0.50 s

now we can find the distance that it will move during this reaction time

d_1 = 22* 0.50 = 11 m

now the deceleration of the car is 10 m/s^2

so the distance that it will move before stop is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0^2 - 22^2 = 2*(-10)*d

d = 24.2 m

so the total distance that it require to stop is given as

d = 24.2 + 11 = 35.2 m

while the deer is standing at distance 38 m

so the car will stop 2.8 m before the position of deer

How does an electroscope detect negative static electricity
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<span> An electroscope that might have a static charge is tested on a metal surface. From there, the charges move to the metal and straight to the foil leaves. If they repel, or move away from each other, that means they have identical charges. This applies for both positive and negative static electricity.

What would happen? Why?
koban [17]
Lightning rods provide low resistance paths to the ground that’ll be used to conduct the enormous electrical currents when lightning strikes happen. So the system will attempt to carry the harmful electrical current away from it and safely to ground. The system will have the ability to handle enormous electrical currents associated with the lightning strikes, if they contact a material that isn’t a good conductor then the material will suffer massive heat damage. So the lightning rod system is considered the best conductor & this allows the current to flow to the ground without causing any massive heat damage.
