How is potential energy unique?

Physics
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.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "42.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(a) 42 N

(b)36.7 N

Explanation:

Nomenclature

F= force test line (N)

W : fish weight  (N)

Problem development

(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed

We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:

∑Fy =0

F-W= 0

42N -W =0  

W = 42N

(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²

We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:

 m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

∑Fy =m*a

m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a

42-W=  ( W/9.8 )*1.41

42= W+0.1439W

42=1.1439W

W= 42/1.1439

W= 36.7  N

PLZ HELP! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST OR WHATEVER U PPL WANT JUST HELP!
Tpy6a [65]
Newton's first law is sometimes known as the law of inertia. It is the law that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts upon it. For example, if I was working with a wrench in space an it slipped, it would keep on going in one direction with a constant speed unless it hits something. Hope this helps!

The graph to the right shows the change in Canada‘s harvest of Atlantic cod from 1950-2004 what year shows the clearest evidence
Ann [662]

The correct answer is C. 1995

Explanation:

The graph shows the changes in the harvest of Atlantic cod. In general, this graph illustrates how the peak occurred in the 1980s but then there was a sudden and sharp decline in 1995. Indeed, 1995 is the year with the lowest number of harvested cod as in this year there were approximately least than 10 thousand metric tonnes of cods. Also, this year shows the collapse of fishing stocks or that the population of this fish collapsed, which made it impossible to harvest as many fish as in previous years. According to this, the year that shows the collapse of fishing stocks is 1995.
