How does potential and kinetic energy change in to each other and back again?

1 answer:

6 0

They can change because the law of conservation of energy allows it to happen, for example when you are sitting, your body is at a potential energy state, meaning you are inert, you are not moving, but when you get up and suddenly start walking or running, that energy is converted to kinetic energy, meaning that you are moving and can be changed back into potential energy if all of a sudden you stop running or walking to rest or sit down. This is just an example of how energy can are transferred multiple ways

If 2 objects had the same momentum, what must be true about the mass of the object that traveled the fastest?

julsineya [31]

Yes, the above-given statement is true

<u>Explanation:</u>

The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
<u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Yes, when an apple falls towards the earth, the apple gets accelerated and comes down due to the gravitational force of attraction used by the earth. The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but the earth does not move because the mass of the apple is very small, due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a = F/m) but the mass of the earth is very large, the same gravitational force produces very small acceleration in the earth and we don't see the earth rising towards the apple.
