How is potential energy unique?

1 answer:

ahrayia [7]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

is uniquely defined.

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy gained by an object being lifted is equal to the work done on the object by an applied force, which exactly cancels gravity. The applied force does positive work. When the object is being lifted, the gravitational force does negative work.

When low on gasoline, is it better to increase or decrease the speed of the vehicle? Explain.

sergiy2304 [10]

Yeah!! It is better to decrease the speed of the vehicle so the ejection of gases would happen in slow manner.... then you can save your gasoline

A revolutionary war cannon, with a mass of 2260 kg, fires a 15.5 kg ball horizontally. The cannonball has a speed of 109 m/s aft

Anton [14]

Answer:

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

Explanation:

We need solve this problem though the conservation of momentum. That is,

$m_1 v_1 = m_2 v_2$

$m_1=2260Kg\\m_2=15.5Kg\\v_2= 109m/s$

Using the equation to find $v_1$ ,

$v_1=\frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1}\\v_1=\frac{15.5*109}{2260}\\v_1= 0.7475$

Using the conservation of energy equation, we have,

$KE= \frac{1}{2}m*v^2$

$KE_{cball}=\frac{1}{2}(15.5)(109)^2=92077.75J$

$KE_{cannon}=\frac{1}{2}(2260)(0.7475)^2=631.39J$

$Total KE= 92077.75+13425530=92708.9J$

Now this energy over the cannonball

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2$

$92708.9=\frac{1}{2}15.5v_2^2$

$V_2 = 109.37m/s$

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object $m=2\ kg$

Speed of object $u=5\ m/s$

Mass of object at rest $M=3\ kg$

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s$

Initial kinetic energy

$k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J$

Final kinetic energy

$k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J$

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

A person's prescription for bifocals is -0.25 diopter for distant vision and +2.50 diopters for near vision, the near vision bei

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

net power is + 2.25 D

Explanation:

Given data

distance vision = -0.25 D

near vision = + 2.50 D

to find out

net power

solution

we have given a person lens power for near is - 0.25 diopter and lens power for near power is +2.50 diopter so

net power is sum of both the power vision

so

net power = distance + near power

put both value we get net power

net power = ( -0.25 D) + ( + 2.50 D)

net power = + 2.25 D

so net power is + 2.25 D
