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.

A 80 W light bulb (normally run at 120 V) is attached to a transformer. The voltage source in the transformer is 65 V and Np = 3

Marina CMI [18]

67.8 turns needed by the secondary coil to run the bulb.

<u>Explanation</u>:

We know that,

$\text { Electric power }(p)=\frac{V^{2}}{R}$

$\text { Hence, } \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{V_{1}^{2} / R}{V_{2}^{2} / R}$

$\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{V_{2}^{2}}$

For calculating number of turns

$\frac{N_{P}}{N_{S}}=\frac{V_{P}}{V_{S}}$

Given that,

$80 \mathrm{W}\left(P_{1}\right) \text { bulb with voltage } 120 \mathrm{V}\left(V_{1}\right) \text { is connected to a transformer. }$

$\text { The source voltage of a transformer is }\left(V_{P}\right) \text { is } 65 \mathrm{V}$

$\text { The number of turns in primary winding of transformer is }\left(N_{P}\right) \text { is } 30 .$

We need to find the number of turns in the secondary winding $\left(N_{S}\right)$ to run the bulb at 120W $\left(P_{2}\right)$

Firstly find the secondary voltage in the transformer use, $\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{V_{1}^{2}}{V_{2}^{2}}$

$\frac{80}{120}=\frac{120^{2}}{V_{2}^{2}}$

$V_{2}^{2}=\frac{120^{2} \times 120}{80}$

$V_{2}^{2}=\frac{1728000}{80}$

$V_{2}^{2}=21600$

$V_{2}=\sqrt{21600}$

$V_{2}=146.9 \mathrm{V}=V_{S}$

Now, finding the number of turns in secondary coil. Use, $\frac{N_{P}}{N_{S}}=\frac{V_{P}}{V_{S}}$

$\frac{30}{N_{S}}=\frac{65}{146.9}$

$N_{S}=\frac{30 \times 146.9}{65}$

$N_{S}=\frac{4407}{65}$ $N_{S}=67.8$

The number of turns in the secondary winding are 67.8 turns.

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of

EleoNora [17]

If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.

Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
TRUE

D) All of the above.
FALSE

Is space expanding within clusters of galaxies? why or why not?

GarryVolchara [31]

No, since their gravity is powerful enough to keep them together even while the universe expands as a whole. Space is not expanding within clusters of galaxies.

<h3>What is a galaxy?</h3>

A galaxy is a massive clump of gas, dust, and billions of stars and their solar systems bound together by gravity.

No, since their gravity is powerful enough to keep them together even while the universe expands as an entire.

Hence,space is not expanding within clusters of galaxies.
