Change in Energy Quick Check

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

<u>FORCE OF GRAVITY:</u>

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. <u>The statement is false.</u>

<u></u>

<u>POTENTIAL ENERGY:</u>

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. <u>The statement is true.</u>

<u></u>

<u>ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:</u>

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. <u>The statement is false.</u>

But, this change is not significant.

<u>KINETIC ENERGY:</u>

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. <u>The statement is false.</u>

Consider an old-fashion bicycle with a small wheel of radius 0.17 m and a large wheel of radius 0.92 m. Suppose the rider starts

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

10259.6 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of small wheel,r=0.17 m

Radius of large wheel,r'=0.92 m

Initial velocity,u=0

Time,t=2.7 minutes=162 s

1 min=60 s

Velocity,v=10m/s

Time,t'=13.7 minutes=822 s

Time,t''=4.1 minutes=246 s

$v=u+at$

Substitute the values

$10=0+162a=162a$

$a=\frac{10}{162}=0.0617m/s^2$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substitute the values

$s=\frac{1}{2}(0.0617)(162)^2=809.6 m$

$s'=vt'=10\times 822=8220 m$

$a'=\frac{v}{t''}=\frac{10}{246}$

$s''=\frac{1}{2}a't''^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{10}{246}(246)^2=1230 m$

Total distance traveled by rider=s+s'+s''=809.6+8220+1230=10259.6 m

A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).
