Where is there potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing if the trebuchet?

Physics
1 answer:
pshichka [43]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.

A metal rod has a moves with a constant velocity of 40 cm/s along two parallel metal rails through a magnetic field of 0.575 T.
love history [14]

Answer:

2.12/R mW

Explanation:

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R where B = magnetic field = 0.575 T, L = length of metal rod = separation of metal rails = 20 cm = 0.2 m, v = velocity of metal rod = 40 cm/s = 0.4 m/s and R = resistance of rod = ?

So, the induced emf on the conductor is

E = BLv

= 0.575 T × 0.2 m × 0.4 m/s

= 0.046 V

= 46 mV

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R

=  B²L²v²/R

So, P = (0.575 T)² × (0.2 m)² × (0.4 m/s)²

= 0.002116/R W

= 2.12/R mW

Answer:

A. The applied force should be the same size as the friction force

Explanation:

Whenever we apply a force to an object it moves if the force applied to that object is unbalanced and there is no force or a lesser force to counter it. According to Newton's Second Law of motion, when an unbalanced force is applied to an object it produces an acceleration in the object in its own direction. So, the two forces acting on this box are the frictional force and the applied force in horizontal direction. In order to move the box at constant speed, the applied force must first, overcome the frictional force, so the object can start its motion. Since, the motion has constant velocity, it means no acceleration. So, the force must be balanced in order to avoid acceleration as a consequence of Newton's Second Law of motion. Therefore, the correction in this case will be:

<u>A. The applied force should be the same size as the friction force</u>

Which part of an atom makes up most of its volume ?
alexandr1967 [171]
Remember that like charges repel each other. That is, positive repels positive and negative repels negative. Similar to how the north poles of magnets repel each other and south poles repel. However, at the atomic scale, protons, which have positive charge, are more influenced by the "Strong Force," which binds them close together. If they were to be separated ever so slightly, then the electromagnetic force would take over and they would repel each other like you'd expect. 

Neutrons are also held together via the Strong Force, but don't have a charge so when separated, don't have an electromagnetic force pushing them away from each other.

However, electrons act differently. There is no "Strong Force" just the electromagnetic force. So, they keep a great distance from each other. 

So in an atom, protons and neutrons stay close to each other, taking up little volume, while electrons take up a lot of volume.

BTW, the reason why electrons and protons act differently when they are close together is because protons are made up of smaller particles the carry this Strong Force. For electrons, there is no smaller constituent. And therefore, all you have is the electromagnetic force to influence it. That's it.

Hope that helps.
