Which of the following does NOT describe the conversion of potential to kinetic energy? Question 12 options:

Physics

The option “The sum emitting light energy” does not describe the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The potential energy, the object's energy at rest while the kinetic energy is the energy the object in motion. So among the options given, a rocket leaving the Earth's atmosphere consists of conversion of potential energy as the thrusting force to kinetic energy of the movement of the rocket to space.

Similarly the stretching of rubber band is a form of elastic potential energy and when it is released, the band will vibrate which will be the converted kinetic energy.

Also, the avalanche is the falling of ice berg which were once in rest, so the potential energy of the ice berg will get converted to kinetic energy during avalanche.

The option that is the sun emitting light does not convert potential to kinetic energy, instead it converts potential to light energy.

You are testing a new amusement park roller coaster with an empty car with a mass 120 kg. One part of the track is a vertical lo
Kay [80]

Answer:

- 5436 J

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 120 kg

radius of loop, r = 12 m

velocity at the bottom (A) = Va = 25 m/s

Velocity at the top(B) = Vb = 8 m/s

Vertical distance from A to B = diameter of loop, h = 2 x 12 = 24 m

by use of Work energy theorem

Work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy of the body

Work done by the force + Work done by the friction = Kinetic energy at B - kinetic energy at A

- m x g x h + Work done by friction = 0.5 x 120 x (Vb^2 - Va^2)

- 120 x 9.8 x 24 + Work done by friction = 60 x (64 - 625)

- 28224 + Work done by friction = - 33660

Work done by friction = -33660 + 28224 = - 5436 J

If
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

A factor of 2*4 = 8

Explanation:

F_g = (G*m1*m2)/r^2  

where m1 and m2 are the two masses, G is Newton's gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

So, if you double m1 and quadruple m2:

m1' = 2*m1

m2' = 4*m2

Then F_g' = (G*m1'*m2')/r^2 = (G*2*m1*4*m2)/r^2 = 8*(G*m1*m2)/r^2 = 8*F_g

When the mass of the sun is larger, Earth moves around the sun at a faster or slower pace.
maw [93]
-- The mass of the sun never increases.

-- It does decrease, but not nearly enough to have any noticeable
effect on the orbital motion of the Earth, or any other planet.

-- When Earth is closer to the sun, it moves faster in its orbit.

-- When Earth is farther from the sun, it moves slower in its orbit.

-- The result is that the line from the sun to the Earth always covers
the same amount of area in the same length of time. 

-- Johannes Kepler noticed this, and it's his Second Law of planetary motion.

-- Newton showed that if his equations for gravity and motion are correct, 
then planets MUST behave this way.
