As the diver jumps, the board bends down. What kind of the energy does the board now have?

1 answer:

8 0

Hi there!

The energy that is about to or can be released from an object after energy has been transferred to it is called potential energy. In this case, as the diver jumps, potential energy is stored in the board as it bends. The potential energy is then released as kinetic energy when the board springs back up and the diver actually jumps.

Hope this helps!

Suppose that a block of mass 2 kg is pulled to the right with a force of 10 N, and the friction force on the block is directed t

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The block has an acceleration of $3 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.

$\sum F_{r} = ma$ (1)

Where $\sum F_{r}$ represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

$F_{x} + F{y} = ma$ (2)

The forces present in x are $F = 10 N$ and $f = 4 N$ (the friction force):

$F_{x} = 10 N - 4 N$

Notice that $f$ subtracts to $F$ since it is at the opposite direction.

$F_{x} = 6 N$

The forces present in y balance each other:

$F_{y} = 0$

Therefore:

$6 + 0 = ma$

$6 N = (2kg)a$ (3)

But $1 N = 1 Kg.m/s^{2}$ and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

$a = \frac{6 Kg.m/s^{2}}{2 Kg}$

$a = 3 m/s^{2}$

So the block has an acceleration of $a = 3 m/s^{2}$ .

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by $\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ ) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ ) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

$F=-kx$

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

- When the displacement of the spring is maximum, the velocity is zero, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is maximum, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by $\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ ) is maximum, therefore the kinetic energy (given by $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ ) must be zero, and so the velocity (v) is also zero. On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

$F=-kx$

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Arbeitsauftrag 2

kramer

Explanation:

<em>The height of the pendulum is measured from the lowest point it reaches (point 3). </em>

At 1, the kinetic energy of the pendulum is zero (because it is not moving), and it has maximum potential energy.

At 2, the pendulum has both kinetic and potential energy, and how much of each it has depends on its height—smaller the height greater the kinetic energy and lower the potential energy.

At 3, the height is zero; therefore, the pendulum has no potential energy, and has maximum kinetic energy.

At 4, the pendulum again gains potential energy as it climbs back up, Again how much of each forms of energy it has depends on its height.

At 5, the maximum height is reached again; therefore, the pendulum has maximum potential energy and no kinetic energy.

Hope this helps :)
