Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy

1 answer:

3 0

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.

What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

For a specific volume of 0.2 m3/kg, find the quality of steam if the absolute pressure is (a) 40 kPa and (b) 630 kPa. What is th

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$x=0.0498$

$x'=0.659$

Explanation:

Specific Volume $V=0.2m_3/kg$

Absolute Pressure (a) $P_a= 40kpa$

Giving

$T_a=75.87$

$v_f=1.265*10^{-3}m^3/kg$

$v_g=3.993m^3/kg$

(b) $P_a= 630kpa$

Giving

$T_b=160.13C$

$v_f'=1.10282*10^{-3} m^3/kg$

$v_g'=0.30286 m^3/kg$

(a)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X is mathematically given by

$x=\frac{v-v_f}{v_g-v_f}$

$x=\frac{0.2-1.0265*10^{-3}}{3.993-1.0265*10^{-3}}$

$x=0.0498$

(b)

Generally the equation for quality of Steam X is mathematically given by

$x'=\frac{v-v_f'}{v_g'-v_f'}$

$x'=\frac{0.2-1.10*10^{-3}}{3.30-1.1*10^{-3}}$

$x'=0.659$

Groups of students are making measurements of small cars rolling across a table. the class has measuring tapes with markings in

TiliK225 [7]

To find the accurate measurement of small cars, the teacher asks students to make all the measurements in centimeters.

Centimeters Measurements:

A centimeter is a metric unit of measurement used for measuring the length of an object, It is written as cm
Centimeter is one hundredth of a meter, 1 meter is 0.01 cm.

Inches measurements:

An inch can be defined as a unit of length in the customary system of measurement. Length in inches is either represented by in or ''.
1 meter is equal to 39.37 inches

here, the cars are small objects.

The number of centimeters is always bigger,

because a centimeter unit is smaller than an inch unit, and it takes more of them when we are measuring.

Hence,

To find the accurate measurement of small cars, the teacher asks students to make all the measurements in centimeters.

According to the navigation rules, which must be aboard a 22-foot powerboat

melomori [17]

The navigation rules for countries in the Unites States are compiled in the U.S. Coast Guard. There are actually boating courses that are recognized by the U.S Coast Guard. One of the things they discuss there is the emergency aids every boat should have depending on the size and purpose. For recreational vessels with lengths measuring less than 39.4 feet, they must carry aboard an efficient sound producing device. This will serve as your signal when emergencies happen and you have to get the attention of nearby boat vessels. Hence, for practical purposes, every boat should have a whistle or a horn.
