Without the choices this is difficult to answer but some examples of potential energy are:

- <span>Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical.

- Stretching a rubber band and holding it. It has potential energy.

- Chemical energy in a battery has potential energy.

Hope this helps!</span>

Answer:

The best example is when a swing reaches the top of the arc, it has maximum potential energy. Another example is throwing a ball, at the highest point, the potential energy is greatest. A drawn bow also is an example of potential energy.

Explanation:

Energy is the ability to do work. Potential energy is the energy of an object's position or the stored energy (potential to work).

A smooth circular hoop with a radius of 0.800 m is placed flat on the floor. A 0.300-kg particle slides around the inside edge o

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a)11.25 J

b)Number of revolution = 1

Explanation:

Given that

Radius ,r= 0.8 m

m= 0.3 kg

Initial speed ,u= 10 m/s

final speed ,v= 5 m/s

Initial energy

$KE_i=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

$KE_i=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 10^2$

KEi= 15 J

Final kinetic energy

$KE_f=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_f=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 5^2$

KEf=3.75 J

The energy transformed from mechanical to internal = 15 - 3.75 J = 11.25 J

The minimum value to complete the circular arc

$V=\sqrt{r.g}$

Now by putting the values

$V=\sqrt{0.8\times 10}$

V= 2.82 m/s

So kinetic energy KE

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2$

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}0.3\times 2.82^2$

KE=1.19 J

ΔKE= KEi - KE

ΔKE= 15- 1.19 J

ΔKE=13.80 J

The minimum energy required to complete 2 revolutions = 2 x 11.25 J

= 22.5 J

Here 22.5 J is greater than 13.8 J.So the particle will complete only one revolution.

Number of revolution = 1

What is work? how do we solve for work?

slava [35]

Answer: Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton • meter (N • m). One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m.

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?

Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,
