Potential energy is stored energy in an object or system. Kinetic energy is when the object is in motion. Potential energy is not relative to an objects environment. Kinetic energy is relative to other moving and stationary objects in its main environment.

givi [52]

Answer:0.667 N

Explanation:

Given

It is noticed that Frictional Force is 0.2 N

Coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.3

We know Friction Force is given by

f_r=\mu _k\times Normal\ reaction

therefore

0.2=\mu _k\times N

0.2=0.3\cdot N

N=\frac{0.2}{0.3}

N=0.667 N

Nerve impulses in a human body travel at a speed of about 100 m/s. Suppose a woman accidentally steps barefoot on a thumbtack. A
sasho [114]
T = 0.017 s

From the foot to the brain is almost the same as the height. We are not given the height of the woman, but to find "about" how much time, we need a height to work with.

She *could* be 1.7 m <- height = distance

Formula for speed, where k = speed, d = distance, t = time
k = d/t
Rearrange to solve for time:
t = d/k
Substitute known values:
t = (1.7 m) / (100 m/s)
Solve:
t = 0.017 s

Therefore, it takes about 0.017s for the impulse to travel from the foot to the brain.

Roger pushes a box on a 30° incline. If he applies a force of 60 newtons parallel to the incline and displaces the box 10 meters
Dmitry [639]
Work = Force * distance

He's going up an incline but pushing parallel to the ground. Draw out a diagram to show what's going on. )


Work =  force* distance*Cos(incline angle)
60 N force * 10 meters * cos(30)
= 519.61 J
