How does changing the horizontal position of the ball affect its potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
lapo4ka [179]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential Energy is the energy associated with the object (having some mass) due to its position or state. It is a function of height and is dependent on datum i.e. it is measured relative to another body.

For example, if we change the body horizontally without changing its height then Potential energy associated with it is zero because there is no change in height.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at
inn [45]

Answer:

a)v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

b)H=8.9605\,m

Explanation:

Given:

mass of bullet, m=4.97\times 10^{-3}\,kg

compression of the spring, \Delta x=0.0476\,m

force required for the given compression, F=9.12 \,N

(a)

We know

F=m.a

where:

a= acceleration

9.12=4.97\times 10^{-3}\times a

a\approx 1835\,m.s^{-2}\\

we have:

initial velocity,u=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the eq. of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.\Delta x

where:

v= final velocity after the separation of spring with the bullet.

v^2= 0^2+2\times 1835\times 0.0476

v=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

(b)

Now, in vertical direction we take the above velocity as the initial velocity "u"

so,

u=13.2171\,m.s^{-1}

∵At maximum height the final velocity will be zero

v=0\,m.s^{-1}

Using the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2-2g.h

where:

h= height

g= acceleration due to gravity

0^2=13.2171^2-2\times 9.8\times h

h=8.9129\,m

is the height from the release position of the spring.

So, the height from the latched position be:

H=h+\Delta x

H=8.9129+0.0476

H=8.9605\,m

Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 10 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 18 k
Aleks [24]

Answer:

mass of the neutron star =3.45185×10^26 Kg

Explanation:

When the neutron star rotates rapidly, a material on its surface to remain in place, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the central material must be equal to magnitude of the centripetal acc. of the rotating star.

That is

\frac{GM_{ns}}{R^2}= \omega^2 R

M_ns = mass odf the netron star.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67×10^{-11}

R= radius of the star = 18×10^3 m

ω = 10 rev/sec = 20π rads/sec

therefore,

M_{ns}= \frac{\omega^2R^3}{G} = \frac{4\pi^2\times(18\times10^3)^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

= 3.45185... E26 Kg

= 3.45185×10^26 Kg

An example of kinetic energy is a _____.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

An example of kinetic energy is a <u><em>car coming to a stop</em></u>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body or system possesses due to its movement. In physics this energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in rest position, until reaching a certain speed. This energy obtained will remain unchanged as long as this body does not vary its speed. That is, kinetic energy measures how many changes an object that is moving can cause.

<u><em>An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop</em></u>. If the car is moving and comes to a stop, there is a change in speed, therefore in movement, eventually producing a change in kinetic energy. This energy depends on the mass of the body, in this case the car, and the speed.  As the speed decreases, the kinetic energy will decrease.
