6. The potential energy of a freely falling object decreases

Physics
1 answer:
lilavasa [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

As the potential energy of the freely falling object decreases, its kinetic energy increases on account of an increase in its velocity. ... Thus, the law of conservation of energy is not violated.

How are some types of collisions different from others?
lyudmila [28]
There are two general types of collisions, inelastic and elastic. 
Inelastic collisions occur when two objects collide but neither of them bounce away from each other.
Collisions in which the objects do not touch each other are elastic. (Ex: Rutherford Scattering)

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

A rock is dropped from a garage roof from rest. the roof is 6.0 m from the ground. determine the velocity of the rock as it hits
Dmitrij [34]

From rest, a rock is dropped from a garage roof. The roof is 6.0 meters above ground level. The rock will reach the earth at a speed of 10.849 meters per second.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  Velocity is a vector quantity.

it is a time-based component. Velocity at any angle is resolved to get its component of x and y-direction.

Given data:

V(Final velocity)=? (m/sec)

h(height)= 6.0 m

u(Initial velocity)=0 m/sec

g(gravitational acceleration)=9.81 m/s²

Newton's third equation of motion:

\rm v_y^2 = u_y^2+ 2gh \\\\\rm v_y^2 = 0+ 2gh\\\\\  v_y= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \ (m/s^2)\times 6.0 (m)} \\\\ v_y=10.849 \ m/sec

Hence, the velocity of the rock as it hits the ground will be 10.849 m/sec.
