Contrast elastic potential energy and chemical potential energy

1 answer:

3 0

Chemical Potential Energy is released when chemical bonds between atoms are broken (like covalent and ionic) and is released mainly as thermal
Elastic Potential is released when the molecules in the material are allowed to go back to there original form, and is released mainly as kinetic

A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note

shtirl [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is v² = u² + 2ah, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Projectile Motion—A tennis ball is thrown out a window 28 m above the ground at an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s and 20.0° below

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The distance will be x = 41.7 [m]

Explanation:

We must first find the components in the x & y axes of the initial velocity.

$(v_{o})_{x} = 15*cos(20)= 14.09[m/s]\\(v_{o})_{y} = 15*sin(20)= 5.13[m/s]$

The acceleration is the gravity acceleration therefore.

g = 9.81 [m/s^2]

Now we can calculate how long it takes to fall.

$y=(v_{o})_{y}*t-0.5*g*t^2\\-28 = 5.13*t-0.5*9.81*t^2\\-28=-4.905*t^2+5.13*t\\4.905*t^2-5.13*t=28\\t = 2.96[s]$

With this time we can find the horizontal distance that runs the projectile.

$x=(v_{o})_{x}*t\\x=14.09*2.96\\x=41.7[m]$

While sitting in a swivel chair, you push against the floor with your heel to make the chair spin. The 6.7 N frictional force is

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

I = 1.4kgm²

Explanation:

The rotational motion is caused by the frictional force, which generates a torque on the system. As there is no other force that creates a torque, this can be expressed in the equation of rotational motion below:

$\tau_f =I\alpha\\\\$

And $\tau_f=rf$ , where r is the distance from the point of application and the rotation axis, and f is the magnitude of the frictional force. This is because the frictional force is applied in the direction that causes the greatest angular acceleration (this is, 90°) and $rf\sin90\°=rf$ . Then, we have that:

$rf=I\alpha\\\\\implies I=\frac{rf}{\alpha}\\\\$

Plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$I=\frac{(0.39m)(6.7N)}{1.8rad/s^{2} } =1.4kgm^{2}$

In words, the total moment of inertia is equal to 1.4kgm².
