Gnom [1K]3 years ago

The scientific definition of energy related to work is that energy is the capacity to do work.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the work done on or by an object on another object.

The energy is divided as potential energy and kinetic energy.

Potential energy, the energy of the object at rest whereas kinetic energy, the energy of object at motion or the energy required to do any kind work.

Based on the external force applied to create an energy as energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, the energy is classified as mechanical energy where mechanical force does the work, chemical energy where chemical reactions perform the work etc.

Which of the following is the best definition of gravity?
IRISSAK [1]

In physics, gravity is the natural force that causes things to fall toward the earth. The noun gravity can also mean seriousness or solemnity. Someone who conducts themselves with an air of gravity is someone who takes what they are doing seriously.

A long, nonconducting cylinder (radius = 6.0 mm) has a nonuniform volume charge density given by αr2, where α = 6.2 mC/m5 and r
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 2.80 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric firld inside the solid cylinder

non conductor we have to use the Gaussian law,

∫E.ds=Q inside/ε0

E*2πrL=ρ Volume of the Gaussian surface/ε0

E*2πrL= a*r^2 π* r^2* L/ε0

E=a*r^3/(2*ε0)

E=6.2 * (0.002)^3/ (2*8.85*10^-12)= 2.80 N/C

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.
