When a car is coasting downhill, how are its potential and kinetic energies changing?

1 answer:

3 0

When a car is coasting downhill, the kinetic and potential energies are increasing and decreasing respectively.

<h3>What are kinetic and potential energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

Potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mass).

According to this question, a car going downhill will begin to speed because there is lesser friction. This suggests that the kinetic energy increases while the potential energy decreases.

A thin ring of radius 73 cm carries a positive charge of 610 nC uniformly distributed over it. A point charge q is placed at the

kow [346]

Answer:

q = - 93.334 nC

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Radius of ring 73 cm

charge on ring 610 nC

ELECTRIC FIELD p FROM CENTRE IS AT 70 CM

E = 2000 N/C

Electric field due tor ring is guiven as

$E = \frac{KQx}{[x^2+ R^2]^{3/2}}$

$E = \frac{9\time 10^9 \times 610\times 10^[-9} 0.70}{(0.70^2 + 0.73^2)^{3/2}}$

E1 = 3714.672 N/C

electric field due to point charge q

$E =\frac[kq}{x^2}$

$E = \frac{9\times 10^9 \times q}{0.70^2}$

$E2 = 1.837\times 10^{10}\times q$

now the eelctric charge at point P is

E = E1 + E2 $2000 = 3714.672 + 1.837\times 10[10} \times q$

solving for q

q = - 93.334 nC

What property do the following elements have in common? Li, C, and F A) They are poor conductors of electricity. B) Each element

Aloiza [94]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given elements Li, C and F are all second period elements. So, when we move from left to right across a period then there occurs increase in number of valence electrons as there occurs increase in total number of electrons.

So, it means more electrons are added to the same energy level.

Thus, we can conclude that a property of valence electrons for each element is located in the same energy level is common in the given elements.

A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

$V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}$

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

$F_L = Vpg$

$F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N$

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

$T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N$

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

$F_B=V'pg$

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

$F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}$

Now Total volume of bobble is

$\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\$

= $\large\boxed{4.52 \%}$
