Doubling an objects speed will have what effect on its potential energy due to gravity

Physics
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago
4 0

An object's gravitational potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height above ground) .

I don't see the object's speed anywhere in that formula, do you ?

An object's speed has no effect whatsoever on its potential energy ... only if it changes the object's height above ground.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k
rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

Par 1/2
BaLLatris [955]

part 1

mass = ρ x V

mass = 1739 kg/m³ x 3.8 km³ = 6608.2 kg

PE (potential energy)= mgh

PE = 6608.2 kg x 9.81 x 403

PE = 2.61 x 10⁷ J

part 2

megaton of TNT (Mt) =4.2 x 10¹⁵ J

convert PE to Mt:

2.61 x 10⁷ J : 4.2 x 10¹⁵ J = 6.21 x 10⁻⁹ Mt

The opening to a cave is a tall, 30.0-cm-wide crack. A bat is preparing to leave the cave emits a 30.0 kHz ultrasonic chirp. How
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The value is  w =  7.54 \  m        

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the crack is  a =  0.3 \  m

     The  frequency is  f =  30.0 \ kHz =  30 *10^{3} \  Hz

      The distance outside the cave that is being consider is  D =  100 \  m

      The speed of sound is v_s =  340 \  m/s

Generally the wavelength of the wave is mathematically represented as

        \lambda =  \frac{v}f}

=>     \lambda =  \frac{340 }{30*10^{3}}

=>     \lambda = 0.0113 \ m/s

Generally for a  single slit the path difference between the interference patterns of the sound wave and the center  is mathematically represented as  

          y =  \frac{ n *  \lambda * D}{a}

=>     y =  \frac{ 1  *  0.0113 * 100}{0.3}

=>     y = 3.77 \  m

Generally the width of the sound beam is mathematically represented as

         w =  2 *  y

=>      w =  2 *  3.77

=>      w =  7.54 \  m
