Example of energy transfer from potential to kinetic and back

1 answer:

5 0

Swimmer and Divers. The Potential energy is transferred into Kinetic energy, and allows the diver to submerge into the water. The Kinetic energy then allows the diver to submerge and dive into the water. Potential energy however, is needed to allow the diver to get back out of the water after diving to get up and go and dive again, and then the Kinetic energy is transferred back to Potential energy to repeat the process.

Hope :) -Emilie Xo this is right and it helps! Xo

Which of the following statements regarding heuristics and empiricism is true? A. Heuristics allows a priori theoretical concep

WITCHER [35]

Answer: <em>Option (A) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

A heuristic is often referred to as an approach to solving problems or discovery that subjects a method, which is considered to be practical although might not be guaranteed to be perfect, optimal, or rational, but sufficient for reaching to goal.

Empiricism is known as a theory under which one can states that knowledge can only be imparted from the sensory experience. It is considered to be one of the main notions underlying in epistemology, i.e. known as the study of human knowledge, alongside skepticism and rationalism.

A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

$1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

$E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

$r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m$

So the initial total energy is

$E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J$

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

$r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

so its gravitational potential energy is

$U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J$

And since it hits the ground with speed

$v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s$

it also has kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J$

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

$E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J$

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

$\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

Volcanoes that have fast flowing liquid lava will be narrow like a river

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Shield volcanoes, the third type of volcano, are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after flow pours out in all directions from a central summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad, gently sloping cone of flat, domical shape, with a profile much like that of a warrior's shield.
