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

Physics
1 answer:
cestrela7 [59]3 years ago
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.

A spring stretches 2.6 cm when a 7 g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 28 g which oscillates i
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

period = 0.65 sec

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

extension (x) = 2.6 cm = 0.026 m

mass of object (Mo) = 7 g = 0.007 kg

mass of block (Mb) = 28 g = 0.028 g

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

period = 2π x \sqrt{\frac{Mb}{k}}

where k is the spring constant of the spring

and k = \frac{Mo x g}{x}

k =  \frac{0.007 x 9.8}{0.026}

k = 2.64 N/m

now period = 2π x \sqrt{\frac{0.028}{2.64}}

period = 0.65 sec

What is the function of eye lens of the human eye<br>​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Lens of the human Eye is a important and one of that most complex sense organ.

Explanation:

Lens of the human eye it helps that in visualizing light and color perception and objects , glance on the human eye structure and function.

Sense organs are much pretty similar to the camera they  help us see the objects clear.

A human eye is the 2.3 cm in diameter and all filled some fluid, and there are following parts in eye:-  cornea,  Retina , Lens ,Pupil , optic nerves.

cornea :- the cornea is the first transparent part of is called cornea, enters the light through the cornea.

Retina :-it is light sensitive layer that consists of nerve cells,then transmitted to the brain through nerves.

Lens:- behind the pupil there is a transparent structure called lens,it shape focus light on the retina.

Pupil:-it control the value of light that enters the human eye.

Optic nerves is are the two types :- (1) cones (2) Rods .

Virginia beach is 15 kilometers wide and 50 kilometers long. if 2 cm of rain falls on virginia beach, how many cubic meters of r
icang [17]
Assume that the shape of Virginia beach is rectangular.

Note that
1 km = 10³ m
1 cm = 10⁻² m

The area is
A = (15 km)*(50 km)
   = (15 x 10³ m)*(50 x 10³ m)
   = 7.5 x 10⁸ m²

Because 2 cm of rain fell, the volume is
V = (7.5 x 10⁸ m)*(2 x 10⁻² m) = 1.5 x 10⁶ m³

Answer:  1.5 x 10⁶ m³
