how do you relate the equations for kinetic and potential energy to illustrate the law of conservation of energy?

The conservation of energy is a principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be altered from one form to another. With that said. Potential Energy would be like a Rubber band, just sitting there, nothing will happen, however when one picks it up, and stretches it between the fingers, and then lets go of it, Potential energy from the still rubber band becomes Kinetic energy as it flies through the air. 
Kinetic meaning motion. Potential meaning not moving however it has the potential for moving as I described above. Hope this helps.

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers d=1.6\ m

Distance of person from one speaker x_1=3\ m

Distance of person from second speaker x_2=3.5\ m

Path difference between the waves is given by

x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}

3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}

\lambda =0.5\times 2

\lambda =1\ m

frequency is given by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda }

where v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)

f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. m=1 and m=2

3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m

frequency corresponding to this is

f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz

for m=2

3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}

f_3=1715\ Hz

<h3><u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u></h3>

  • A certain circuit is composed of two series resistors
  • The total resistance is 10 ohms
  • One of the resistor is 4 ohms

<h3><u>To </u><u>Find </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • We have to find the value of other resistor?

<h3><u>Let's </u><u>Begin </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

We know that,

In series combination,

  • When a number of resistances are connected in series, the equivalent I.e resultant resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances and is greater than any individual resistance

<u>That </u><u>is</u><u>, </u>

Rn in series = R1 + R2 + R3.....So on

<u>Therefore</u><u>, </u>

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>question</u><u>, </u>

We have,

R1 + R2 = 10 Ω

4 + R2 = 10Ω

R2 = 10 - 4

R2 = 6Ω

Hence, The value of R2 resistor in series is 6Ω

Suppose the ski patrol lowers a rescue sled carrying an injured skier, with a combined mass of 97.5 kg, down a 60.0-degree slope
Kitty [74]

a. 1337.3 J work, in joules, is done by friction as the sled moved 28 m along the hill.

b.21,835 J work, in joules, is done by the rope on the sled this distance.

c. 23,170 J   the work, in joules done by the gravitational force on the sled d. The net work done on the sled, in joules is 43,670 J.

       

<h3>What is friction work?</h3>

The work done by friction is the force of friction times the distance traveled times the cosine of the angle between the friction force and displacement

a. How much work is done by friction as the sled moves 28m along the hill?

ans. We use the formula:

friction work = -µ.mg.dcosθ

  = -0.100 * 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m * cos 60

= -1337.3 J

-1337.3 J work, in joules, is done by friction as the sled moved 28 m along the hill.

b. How much work is done by the rope on the sled in this distance?

We use the formula:

Rope work = -m.g.d(sinθ - µcosθ)

rope work = - 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m (sin 60 – 0.100 * cos 60)

                     = 26,754 (0.816)

                     = 21,835 J

21,835 J work, in joules, is done by the rope on the sled this distance.

c.  What is the work done by the gravitational force on the sled?

By using  the formula:

Gravity work = mgdsinθ

                    = 97.5 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 28 m * sin 60

                    = 23,170 J

23,170 J   the work, in joules done by the gravitational force on the sled .

       

D. What is the total work done?

By adding all the values

work done =  -1337.3 + 21,835 + 23,170

                 = 43,670 J

The net work done on the sled, in joules is 43,670 J.
