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

1 answer:

3 0

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.

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed (v) from a height (h), it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it finally hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration exists in that direction, thus:

$v_x=v$

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

$v_y=g.t$

Where $g=10 m/s^2$

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the same formula as for free-fall, since the time does not depend on the initial speed:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$
