Answer:
Potential energy is stored energy that is stationary. Kinetic energy is energy in motion
Explanation:
Examples:
A car moving forward down a hill is kinetic energy
A car about to go down a hill after reaching the top is potential energy.
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²
Explanation:
Hi there!
The equation of position of the sprinter is the following:
x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²
Where:
x = position of the sprinter at a time t.
x0 = initial position.
v0 = initial velocity.
t = time.
a = acceleration.
Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the starting point and the sprinter starts from rest, then, x0 and v0 are equal to zero:
x = 1/2 · a · t²
At t = 9.9 s, x = 71 m
71 m = 1/2 · a · (9.9 s)²
2 · 71 m / (9.9 s)² = a
a = 1.4 m/s²
The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²
Conduction occurs when heat is transferred to an object through direct contact with particles.
Explanation:
We have,
Mass of an object is 0.5 kg
Force constant of the spring is 157 N/m
The object is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.19 m.
(A) The force acting on the object is given by :
F = kx
(B) The force is simply given by :
F = ma
a is acceleration at that instant
