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 912-kg car is being driven down a straight, level road at a constant speed of 31.5 m/s. When the driver sees a police cruiser
sergejj [24]

Answer:

786.6 N

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 912 kg

initial velocity of car, u = 31.5 m/s

final velocity of car, v = 24.6 m/ s

time, t = 8 s

Let a be the acceleration of the car

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

24.6 = 31.5 + a x 8

a = - 0.8625 m/s^2

Force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 912 x 0.8625

F = 786.6 N

Thus, the force on the car is 786.6 N.

Will convection always work faster and more efficiently than conduction?
Stells [14]

Answer:

Yes convection will always work faster and more efficiently.

Explanation:

When a gas or a liquid is heated, hot areas of the material flow and mix with the cool areas. ... Convection transfers heat over a distance faster than conduction. But ultimately conduction must transfer the heat from the gas to the other object, though molecular contact.
