Answer:

Scientific investigation is a quest to find the answer to a question using the scientific method. In turn, the scientific method is a systematic process that involves using measurable observations to formulate, test or modify a hypothesis.

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh

A soccer ball is kicked and left
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Considering that this is parabolic motion, we know that the time the ball is in the air begins the instant it leaves the ground, reaches up to its max height, and then begins falling until it reaches the ground. Duh, right? Some important things happen during this trip. There are a few things we need to know in order to even begin the problem. Parabolic motion has x and y coordinates because it is 2-dimmensional; the acceleration in the x dimension is not the same as the acceleration in the y dimension; the velocity of an object at its max height is always 0; the time it takes to reach its max height (where the max height is half the distance the object travels) is half the time it takes to make the whole trip. Yikes. That's a lot to know and much to remember! Don't you just LOVE physics!?

For a. the hang time is the time the ball was in the air. Some of that stuff we talked about above is pertinent to solving this problem. We know that the velocity of the ball is 0 at its max height, and we also know that if we find the time it takes to reach its max height, we can double that number to find how long it was in the air for the whole trip. Use the one-dimensional equation

v=v_0+at to find out how long it took to reach the max height. Even though we don't yet know the max height, we DO know that the velocity at that point is 0. BUT before we do that, since we are working in the y-dimension only, it would behoove us (benefit us) to find the velocity particular to this dimension. We are going to answer c. first, then backtrack.

c. wants the initial vertical velocity. That is found in the magnitude of the "blanket" or generic velocity times the sin of the angle, namely:

V_y=25sin(45) so

V_y= 18 m/s Now we can use that as the initial upwards velocity in part a:

v=v_0+at and filling in:

0 = 18 + (-9.8)t and

-18 = -9.8t so

t = 1.8 seconds. But remember, this is only half the time it was in the air. The whole trip, then, takes 2(1.8) which is

t = 3.6 seconds

That's a and c. Now for b:

b. asks for the x component of the velocity:

V_x=Vcos\theta which works out to be the same as the vertical velocity, since the sin and cos of 45 degrees is the same:

V_x=25cos45 and

V_x= 18 m/s

Onto d:

d. wants the max height. Remember, it took 1.8 seconds to get to the max height, so using yet another one-dimensional equation:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 where Δx is the displacement, v₀ is the initial upwards velocity, a is the pull of gravity, and t is the time it takes to reach that max height (Δx, our unknown). Filling in:

Δx = 18(1.8)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(1.8)^2 and if you do the rounding correctly, you'll end up with this:

Δx = 32 - 16 so

the max height, Δx, is 16 meters.

e. wants the range. That translates to the distance the ball traveled. This is found in a glorified version of d = rt, where d is displacement, r is velocity, and t is...well, time (that doesn't change):

Δx = vt so

Δx = 18(3.6) remember that the ball was in the air for a total of 3.6 seconds, so

Δx = 65 meters.

Phew!!!!! That's a lot! I suggest you learn your physics or this will make you insane by the end of the course!

What is the law of inertia? Give an example of inertia in action.
belka [17]
Answer

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.

Can someone help me find the which direction is north and which is south on this solenoid?
arsen [322]

Explanation:

Now, looking down the solenoid tube determine what direction is the winding. If clockwise in relation to the positive wire then is the south pole, if anti-clockwise then is the north pole. So, to summarize the magnetic south pole is always clockwise in relation to the positive wire.
