Using the kinematic equation below we can determine the distance traveled if t=2, a=7.4m/s^2. First we must determine the final velocity:
Now we will determine the distance traveled:
Therefore, the drag racer traveled 81.83 meters in 2 seconds.
No, because the word might offend that person.
Answer:
It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.
Explanation:
In Physics we define a conservative force as a force that is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.
For conservative forces we can write;
KEi + PEi = KEf +PEf
where;
KEi= initial kinetic energy
PEi= initial potential energy
KEf= final kinetic energy
PEf= final potential energy
This equation is known as the principle conservation of mechanical energy . It applies only to conservative forces where friction is negligible. The term KE + PE is also known as the total mechanical energy of the system.
