How do you identify the zero reference position for calculating mechanical potential energy? What is the most common zero refere

nce position for system that has gravitational potential energy?

ANTONII [103]4 years ago

<span>The zero reference position should be the position the system has the least potential energy. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Gravity's ability to do work (potential energy) reaches zero when it hits the ground and stops falling, hence the ground is the most common zero reference position.</span>

A clindrical rod of uniform density is located with its center at the origin, and its axis along the axis. It rotates about its
zhenek [66]

Answer:

6093.2328 J

Explanation:

For cylindrical rod moment of inertia will be

I_X=I_Y=\frac{1}{12}m(3r^2+h^2)

I_X=I_Y=\frac{1}{12}\times 4(3\times 0.06^2+0.6^2)=0.1236 kg -m^2

we have given time =0.02 sec

Angular speed =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{0.02}=314\ rad/sec

Rotational KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.1236\times 314^2=6093.2328\ J

HELP!!! What role might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study?
Marat540 [252]

The positively charged atmosphere attracts negatively charged spider silk, might electrostatic force play in spider dispersal, according to a recent study.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The positive charge present in upper of the atmosphere and the negative charge on planet’s surface. During cloudless skies days, the air possesses a voltage of nearly around 100 volts for each and every meter from above the ground.

Ballooning spiders process within this planetary electric field. When their silk relieve their bodies then it picks up a negative charge. This oppose the similar negative charges on the surfaces on which the spiders settles and create sufficient force to lift them into the air. And spiders can hike those forces by climbing onto blades of grass,twigs, or leaves.
