How is elastic energy related to mechanical energy?

1 answer:

6 0

Elastic energy is potential energy and mechanical energy is kinetic energy.

Many times, elastic energy is a consequence of mechanical energy. When energy is transferred to an object through mechanical energy, it can often displace or deform the object. This stored energy because of the deformation is called elastic energy.

What is the mechanical energy of a 500kg rollercoaster car moving with a speed of 3m/s at the top hill that is 30m high

koban [17]

K.E = 1/2*m*v^2 = 1/2(500)(3)^2 = 2250 J

m*g*h = 500(9.8)(30) = 147000 J

2250 + 147000 = 149250

An infinite line of charge with linear density λ1 = 6 μC/m is positioned along the axis of a thick insulating shell of inner rad

Anna11 [10]

Answer: λ2= 2.34 * 10^-6 C/m

Explanation: In order to calculate the value of the linear charge density of the insulating shell we have to multiply ρ* Volume of the hollow cylinder, so

Volume of cylinder:2*π*b*L *(b-a) where (b-a) is the thickness, then

λ2=Q/L = 634 *10^-6 C/m^3* 2*π*0.042 m*(0.042-0.26)== 2.34 μ C/m
