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.

HELP ASAP! <br>why is rolling friction much smaller than sliding friction? Also give an example.​
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction because Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

Rolling Friction example: Anything with weels (cars,skateboards) or a ball rooling.

Sliding Friction example: Bicycle brakes,skinning your knee walking,writing.

Starting at (0,0) an object travels 36 meters north and then it covers 20 meters east. What is
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;

d² = x²+y²

y = 36m (north)

x = 20m east

Substitute;

d² = 36²+20²

d² = 1296+400

d² = 1696

d = √1696

d = 41.18m

For the direction;

theta = tan^-1(y/x)

theta = tan^-1(36/20)

theta = tan^-1(1.8)

theta = 60.95°

Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°

Melanie gets out of her car at the park. She walks 25 m to the trail entrance.
zhenek [66]

The reference point that should be used to describe Melanie motion is the pond (option C).

<h3>What is reference point?</h3>

Reference point is a particular point in space which is used as an endpoint to measure a distance from or chart a map from.

According to this question, Melanie gets out of her car at the park and walks 25 m to the trail entrance. She jogs around the trail until she reaches a pond, where she stops briefly.

However, she then continues to follow the trail around the pond. This suggests that the pond should serve as the reference point for Melanie's motion.
