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.

An alternating current is set up in an LRC circuit.

Andreyy89

Answer:

(B) Resistor only

Explanation:

Alternating Current: These are currents that changes periodically with time.

An LRC Ac circuit is an AC circuit that contains a Resistor, a capacitor and an inductor, connected in series.

In a purely resistive circuit, current and voltage are in phase.

In a purely capacitive circuit, the current leads the voltage by π/2

In a purely inductive circuit, the current lags the voltage by π/2.

Therefore when a alternating current is set up in LRC circuit, in the resistor, the current and the voltage are in phase.

The right option is (B) Resistor only.

Explain the difference between si base units and derived units. give an example of each

34kurt

Base SI unit is the unit that used for simple quantity like time=second and length= meter. They only have one unit.
Derived unit is more complex because you multiply or divide at least two base SI, making it have more than 1 unit. The example could be velocity which was time/length = m/s

Serhud [2]

Answer:

$\theta=15.70^\circ$

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed, in which the vertical elevation is the opposite cathetus and the horizontal distance is the adjacent cathetus, since we know these two values, we can calculate the angle of inclination using the definition of tangent:

$tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}\\\theta=arctan(\frac{opp}{adj})\\\theta=arctan(\frac{28.1m}{100m})\\\theta=15.70^\circ$
