During this time, the total mechanical energy of the object remains constant.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
The sum total of potential energy and the kinetic energy presented in the system is called mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy in the system, which represents the combined potential and kinetic energies, remains constant as long as the only force work at conservative forces, and mechanical energy is maintained on this principle.
For example, a gravity box in which we throw the ball straights up, and then leave the hand with a specific amounts of kinetic energy. In the first half of the track, there is no kinetic energy, but it has potential energy similar to kinetic energy that it had when that left our hand. When we catch that again, it has the same kinetic energy as when that left our hand. That is why gravity belongs to the category of conservative forces.
Answer:
vₓ = xg/2y
Explanation:
In this question, let us find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.
By newton equation of motion we know that
y = v₀ t - ½ g t²
t = 2y / g
This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance
vₓ = x/t
vₓ = xg/2y
vₓ = xg/2y
Where we assume that x and y are known.
A negative charge i guess
