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

1 answer:

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.

Starting from one oasis, a camel walks 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then walks 30 km toward the north to a second

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is 27.83 Km

Explanation:

let d is the distance between oasis1 and oasis 2

from figure

OC = 25cos 30

OE = 25sin30

OE = CD

Therefore BC = 30-25sin30

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is calculated by using phytogoras theorem

in $\Delta BCO$

$OB^2 = BC^2 + OC^2$

PUTTING ALL VALUE IN ABOVE EQUATION

$d^2 = 930-25sin30)^2 + (25cos30)^2$

$d^2 = 775$

d = 27.83 Km

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is 27.83 Km

How much force is needed to accelerate a bicycle and rider with a total mass of 50 kg at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 ?

True [87]

Answer:

The answer is D 100 newton

Explanation:

2.0m/s2 is d acceleration while the 50kg is the mass. Force = mass x acceleration. So f=50x2.so force is 100 newton

On another planet gravity has a value of 5.5 m/s . If an object is dropped how long will it take to fall 53 m?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4.4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

a = -5.5 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

y₀ = 53 m

y = 0 m

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 53 + 0 + ½ (-5.5) t²

0 = 53 − 2.75 t²

t = 4.39

Rounded to two significant figures, it takes 4.4 seconds for the object to land.
