What is kinetic energy

1 answer:

8 0

(symbol K) Energy that an object possesses because it is in motion. It is the energy given to an object to set it in motion; it depends on the mass (m) of the object and its velocity (v), according to the equation K = 1/2 mv2. On impact, it is converted into other forms of energy such as heat, sound and light.

If we double the frequency of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements about that system ar

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

a. The angular frequency is doubled.

e. The period is reduced to one-half of what it was.

Explanation:

Angular frequency is given as;

ω = 2πf

$\frac{\omega _1}{f_1} = \frac{\omega _2}{f_2}$

when the frequency is doubled

$\frac{\omega _1}{f_1} = \frac{\omega _2}{(2f_1)} \\\\\omega _1 = \frac{\omega _2}{2}\\\\\omega _2 = 2\omega _1$

Thus, the angular frequency will be doubled.

Amplitude in simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement.

Frequency is related to period in simple harmonic motion as given in the equation below;

$f = \frac{1}{T} \\\\f_1T_1= f_2T_2\\\\T_2 = \frac{f_1T_1}{f_2}$

when the frequency is doubled;

$T_2 = \frac{f_1T_1}{2f_1} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_1}{2}$

Thus, the period will be reduced to one-half of what it was.

find at least 2 examples how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect in our everyday lives.Use examples to support y

gulaghasi [49]

A positive way that Friction helps in your every day life would be when you drive to work or school. There is friction acting upon your tires, without it you would continue to constantly move forwards until you have struck something, bringing you to a halt. Therefore friction is a positive in this case, however friction can also be a negative in your everyday life. This is possible because friction can be used against you, say you were dragging a box from point A to point B up a hill. You must use mechanical energy however going uphill already presents a problem, now if the wind were to blow you would be moving against friction, this is a negative.

A cylindrical cistern, constructed below ground level, is 2.9 m in diameter and 2.0 m deep and is filled to the brim with a liqu

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

15.1 m

Explanation:

We first calculate the apparent depth from

refractive index, n = real depth/apparent depth

apparent depth, a = real depth/refractive index

real depth = 2.0 m, refractive index = 1.4

apparent depth, a = 2.0/1.4 = 1.43 m

Since the cylindrical cistern has a diameter of 2.9 m, its radius is 2.9/2 = 1.45 m

The angle of refraction, r is thus gotten from the ratio

tan r = radius/apparent depth = 1.45/1.43 = 1.014

r = tan⁻¹(1.014) = 45.4°

The angle of incidence, i is gotten from n = sin i/sin r

sin i = nsin r = 1.4sin45.4° = 1.4 × 0.7120 = 0.9968

i = sin⁻¹(0.9968) = 85.44°

Since the girl's eyes are 1.2 m from the ground, the distance ,h from the edge of the cistern she must stand is gotten from

tan i = h/1.2

h = 1.2tan i = 1.2tan85.44° = 1.2 × 12.54 = 15.05 m

h = 15.05 m ≅ 15.1 m

So, she must stand 15.1 m away from the edge of the cistern to still see the object.
