The Gravitationa potential energy of the mass (PEG) is given by:
where
m is the mass
g is the gravitational acceleration
h is the heigth of the mass above the reference level (the ground)
In this problem,
and
, therefore the gravitational potential energy of the mass is:
Answer:
Total momentum before collision
P1 =.4 * 3.5 = 1.4 ignoring units here
Total momentum after collision
P2 = .6 * V - .4 * .7 = .6 V - .28
.6 V = 1.4 + .28 momentum before = momentum after
V = 2.8 cm/sec
In 5 sec V moves 2.8 cm/sec * 5 sec = 14 cm
Answer:
Force
If you're taking classical physics, simply stated, a force is a push or a pull of some sort. But there is one other very important thing to understand about Force. A true Force is always an interaction (at least from a classical perspective). That means that forces always come in pairs. This is stated in Newton's Third Law (equal and opposite forces). Every action must have a reaction. This is required for all true forces. Another consequence of this is that force is a vector, meaning it has a magnitude and a direction. The action and reaction will always be opposite in direction.
A lot of people will say F=ma. This is true. However, it is important to keep in mind that this definition is a calculational tool. It is more precise to say the Sum of all forces=ma. The point is that ma is not a force. Forces are things like weight, tension, normal, friction, gravity, electrostatic, magnetic, and various other applied forces. The sum of forces on an object equals the product of its mass times its acceleration.
It is important to keep in mind that the force is on the object that accelerates. Another way to state this is that objects cannot accelerate themselves. You cannot push yourself back (or forwards). But if you push a heavy object like a desk forwards, then the desk can push you back.
Energy
There are many kinds of energy. There are two important things to know.
Energy is the ability to do work. It doesn't mean work is being done, but that work can be done. (So you can see there is an intimate relationship between work and energy).
Energy is conserved. That means the total amount of energy is always constant. If the energy is a system changes somehow, that means some work was done in order to move the energy from one system to another.
Energy is also a scalar (given that Work is a scalar).
Increasing his acceleration will impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered in that as the speed increases due to the increased rate of acceleration, the rate of air resistance also increases.
<h3>What is air resistance?</h3>
Air resistance is a force created by air. When an item moves through the air, the force operates in the opposite direction.
When a diver descends, the force of air resistance acts to counteract the force of gravity. As the skydiver falls faster and faster, the quantity of air resistance grows until it equals the magnitude of gravity's force.
A balance of forces is achieved when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance, and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver reaches what is known as terminal velocity.
