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 ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground

sergey [27]

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

$h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}$

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

$g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}$

By substitution we obtain,

$16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}$

$\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}$

Diving through by 9.8

$\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}$

$\implies{t}^{2} =3.265$

square root both sides, we obtain

$\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}$

$t=1.8s$

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

$\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}$ x $\frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}$

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x $\frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}$

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x $\frac{16.76}{y}$ = k 2 x $\frac{25.5}{.3-y}$

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

51. Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a 3.200-V lithium cell having an internal resistance of 5.00Ω by placing a 1.00-

Tanya [424]

Explanation:

Given that,

Terminal voltage = 3.200 V

Internal resistance $r= 5.00\ \Omega$

(a). We need to calculate the current

Using rule of loop

$E-IR-Ir=0$

$I=\dfrac{E}{R+r}$

Where, E = emf

R = resistance

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{3.200}{1.00\times10^{3}+5.00}$

$I=3.184\times10^{-3}\ A$

(b). We need to calculate the terminal voltage

Using formula of terminal voltage

$V=E-Ir$

Where, V = terminal voltage

I = current

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

$V=3.200-3.184\times10^{-3}\times5.00$

$V=3.18\ V$

(c). We need to calculate the ratio of the terminal voltage of voltmeter equal to emf

$\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}=\dfrac{3.18}{3.200 }$

$\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}= \dfrac{159}{160}$

Hence, This is the required solution.

65. A length of wire is bent into a closed loop and a magnet is plunged into it, inducing a voltage and, consequently, a current

natulia [17]

Answer:

Resistance of the second wire is twice the first wire.

Explanation:

Let us first see the formula of resistance;

R = pxL/A

Here L is the lenght of the wire, A the area and p is the resistivity of wire.

As we are given that the length of second wire is double than that of the first wire, hence the resistance of second wire would be double.

Since we have two loop in second case, inducing double voltage but as resistance is doubled so the current would remain same according to ohms law

I = V/R
