Measurements of microtremors, slope of the land, and motion of tectonic plates predict earthquakes. But we can't predict WHEN accurately enough yet to make the prediction useful to the general public.
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.
In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.
In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.
If the angle between the vector and the y-axis is Θ ,
then the y-component of the vector is
(length of the vector) times cosine( Θ ),
and the x-component of the vector is
(length of the vector) times sine( Θ ) .
Answer:
If force is applied to cause the motion of the body
Explanation:
In the setup given in this diagram, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy by applying force on the cart or object to move it down the slope.
Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. The body has huge potential energy at its current position.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.
As the body moves down the slope and its velocity increases, it gains massive kinetic energy.
Down the slope, the kinetic energy increases as the potential energy decreases.
At the bottom of the slope, the potential energy becomes zero and the kinetic energy is at its maximum.
I guess the correct answer is the first one.
