Why is work and potential energy the same thing

1 answer:

5 0

Potential energy and work done are the same thing as much as kinetic energy and work done are the same thing. Potential energy is a state of the system, a way of storing energy as of virtue of its configuration or motion, while work done in most cases is a way of chaning this energy from one body to another.

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?

timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:

$F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{D}$ is the Drag Force

$C_{D}$ is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case) </u>

$A_{D}$ is the transversal area of the body or object

$V$ the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume $C_{D}$ , $\rho$ and $A_{D}$ do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

$F_{D}=C.V^{2}$ (2)

Where $C$ groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity $V_{n}$ , which is the double of the former velocity:

$V_{n}=2V$ (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

$F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}$

$F_{D}=4CV^{2}$ (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>

Which of these atoms is the most electronegative? select one: a. si b. cl c. p d. f e. c

katrin [286]

The atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

<h3>What is electronegative?</h3>

Electronegativity, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond.

Electronegativity increases across the groups from left to right of the periodic table and decreases down the group.

Examples of electronegative elements arranged in decreasing order;

fluorine,
oxygen,
nitrogen,
chlorine,
bromine,
iodine,
sulfur,
carbon, and
hydrogen.

Thus, the atom that is the most electronegative is fluorine (F).

How do two objects at different temperatures attain thermal equilibrium?

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C.As the two objects touch, thermal energy flows as heat from the warmer block to the colder block until particles in both blocks move at the same rate and reach the same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at colder temperature.

The temperature of an object is a measure of how fast the particles in the object move: the higher its temperature, the faster the particles move, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object. As a result, the particles of the object at higher temperature tend to transfer more energy (called thermal energy) to the particles of the object at colder temperature by colliding with them: this process continues until the particles of the colder object reach the same average kinetic energy as the particles of the warmer object, and this means that the two objects have reached the same temperature.
