Imagine you are holding an apple. how could you increase the potential energy of this apple?

Physics

Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
6 0

If you're holding the apple at your waist, lift it to your mouth.
Potential energy relative to any level is proportional to its height
above that level.  Increase that height, and you've increased the
potential energy.

Since energy is conserved ... it never magically appears or
disappears ... you need to tell where that extra energy for the
apple came from.

It's exactly the work you did ... the force of your muscles acting
through the distance you raised the apple ... that became the
additional potential energy that the apple gained.

From the lens equation calculate the position of the following images produced by a convex lens.
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

(i)

O is the object and I is the image.

The image formed is enlarged and it is erect. So the magnification will be positive (+) and greater than 1.

Refer above image. 1

(ii)

O is the object and I is the image.

The image formed is diminished and erect. So the magnification will be positive (+) and less than1.

Refer above image. 2

(iii)

The image will be formed as the 2F on the other side of the lens and it will be of same of the object.

A force of 14 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching i
enyata [817]

Answer:

W = 19.8 J

Explanation:

14 lb force is required to stretch the spring by 4 inch distance

So we have

F = 14 lbf

F = 6.35 \times 9.8 N

F = 62.3 N

stretch in the spring is given as

x = 4 in = 0.1016 m

now we will have

F = kx

62.3 = k(0.1016)

k = 613.125 N/m

Now we need to find the work to stretch it by x = 10 in = 0.254 m

so we have

W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

W = \frac{1}{2}(613.125)(0.254)^2

W = 19.8 J

An environmentally-conscious student is breaking the rings from a six-pack drink holder before disposing of it. This reduces the
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: seen below.

Explanation:

Firstly we need to remember what exothermic reaction is in thermodynamics. exothermic reaction describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light, sound, or electricity.

In this scenario, due to the heating up nature noticed by the ring during breaking shows that energy is being released to the surrounding in the form of heat which suggest it being an exothermic reaction.
