Answer:

If an object has a net force acting on it, it will accelerate. The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion.

FromTheMoon [43]

Let the Blaise runs for time "t" to complete the race

so the total distance he moved is given by

$d_1 = 1* t$

Now Issac runs for time t = "t - 2*60"

because it took rest for 2 minutes

$d_2 = 2*(t - 120)$

now it is given that Blaise wins by 10 m distance

$d_1 - d_2 = 10$

$1* t - 2*(t - 120) = 10$

$t - 2t + 240 = 10$

$t = 230 s$

now the distance moved by Blaise is given by

$d_1 = 1*230 = 230 m$

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion betwee

saul85 [17]

Answer:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

Explanation:

A conservative force is defined as a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of motion.

This means that for a conservative force, it is possible to defined a potential energy function U which depends only on the position of the object. An example of conservative force is gravity: the gravitational potential energy of an object, in fact, depends only on its position in the field, not on the path taken.

This behaviour also implies that when an object moves from A to B and then back from B to A, the potential energy gained (or lost) moving from A to B is lost (or re-gained) when moving from B to A. This means that the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) of the object is conserved, and therefore there is a constant conversion between potential and kinetic energy during the motion.

A non-conservative force instead does not show this properties, as the work done by it depends on the path taken, and therefore it is not possible to define a potential energy function. An example of non-conservative force is friction.

According to what we wrote above, therefore, the only correct statements are:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

Which of the following graphs best represents the relationship between the gravitational potential energy of a freely falling ob

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The last graph.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at a given height from the Earth's surface.

The formula to find the gravitational potential energy is given as:

$U=mgh$

Where, 'U' is the gravitational potential energy.

'm' is the mass of the body.

'g' is the acceleration of the body due to gravity.

'h' is the height of the body above the Earth's surface.

So, from the above equation, it is clear that, gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height. So, as height increases, the gravitational potential energy increases. At the surface of Earth, where, height is 0, the gravitational potential energy is also zero.

Therefore, the correct graph is a straight line with positive slope and passing through the origin. So, the last option is the correct one.
