Help with Physical Science! I have to do this discussion on potential and kinetic energy. The example of the problem is a 4 poun

d weight being lifted from the ground on a string. There are also scissors there to cut the string for the 4 pound to drop. The two questions is to explain how the object (the weight on the string) had potential energy. And how the object had kinetic energy. THANK YOU

Answer:

Tying a 4 weight pound on a string is a potential energy because it is at rest but cutting it and letting it fall experiences a kinetic energy because it will be in motion.

16. At a particular point, a satellite in an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 7000 MJ with respect to Ea
WARRIOR [948]
Assuming conservation of energy:

Energy before = 7000 + 4000 = 11 000 MJ

Energy after = 2000 + Kinetic = 11 000

Therefore Kinetic = 11 000 - 2 000

Kinetic = 9 000 MJ

A truck brakes from 15 m/s to 2 m/s in 15 seconds. What is its acceleration?
iris [78.8K]
If we take v=u+at and our given values are:

v=final velocity 20m/s

u=initial velocity 15m/s

a=acceleration

t=time 5sec

we plug those into our equation:

20m/s=15m/s+a(5s)

now we just rearrange to solve for acceleration.

(5m/s)/(5s)=a

a=1m/s^2

hope this helps!

Why do you need to breath faster at the top of a mountain
Dovator [93]
Because of the higher elevation. As much as we go away from earth by increasing altitude, there will occur lacoccuren. due to this, we need to breathe fast to get suffient oxygen by time at top of the mountain. We breathe faster at the top of a tall mountain due to a natural reflex. As we go higher up a mountain, the density of air and oxygen decreases, i.e. the amount of oxygen in the air decreases along with other gases. Therefore, to maintain the regular supply of oxygen, the body breathes faster. If we go too high without oxygen tanks, we could fall unconscious and die within 8 minutes due to oxygen deprivation.

Hope this helps! let me know if you need anything else!!
