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

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.

Answer:

W = 7.5 J

Explanation:

W = KE

W = ½mv² = ½0.6(5²) = 7.5 J

Niño, piedra y ascensor están todos en el mismo marco de referencia inercial.

los 2 m / s no son importantes.

a bag of sugar is found to have the same weight on planet earth as an identical bag of dry sawdust on planet Jupiter explain why
disa [49]

Answer:

Because Jupiter is a much larger planet than Earth, its gravitational pull is 240% stronger than that of earth. This is why sawdust, which is lighter than its equivalent measure of sugar would weigh more on Jupiter.

Explanation:

Let's assume that a type of bag can contain 50 kilograms of sugar. If that same bag was filled up with sawdust instead, it would weigh far less than 50Kg.

If that bag of sawdust, on earth weighed 35Kg for instance, on Jupiter, the new weight would be:

35Kg x 2.4 = 84Kg

Put differently, Jupiter simply has a stronger gravitational pull than earth. This extra pull is attributed to its size.

A uniform plank of length 5.0 m and weight 225 n rests horizontally on two supports, with 1.1 m of the plank hanging over the ri
likoan [24]
<span>0.7 meters from the support, or 0.4 meters from the end of the board. Another way of describing the problem is to have the 450 N person move so that the center of mass of the plank and person system is on the second support. So let's first determine how far from that support the center of mass of the plank is. We can model the plank as a point mass source that's 2.5 meters from either end. So that point mass is 2.5-1.1 = 1.4 meters from the pivot. So let's multiply that radius by the mass, getting: 1.4 m * 225 N = 315 Nm Now the person will be at just the tipping point when their mass multiplied by the distance equal 315. So let's do the division. 315 Nm / 450 N = 0.7 m So the person will be at the tipping point when he's 0.7 meter from the support, or 1.1 - 0.7 = 0.4 meters from the end of the board.</span>
