Which object will have the most potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:  the most potential energy ==  5 kg book, 2 m from the ground= 98 Joules

Explanation:

potential energy = m g h

m = mass

g = acceleration due gravity  = 9.8 m/s²

h = distance above  ground

1.  Pe₁ = 1 kg x 2 m x g  = 2 g

2. Pe₂ = 5 kg x 2 m x g = 10 g = 10 kg m x 9,8 m/s² = 98 Joules

3. Pe₃ = 1 kg x 0,5 m x g = 0,5 g

4. Pe₄ = 5 kg x 0.5 m x g = 2,5 g  

10 > 2,5 > 2 >0,5

You’re driving your car towards an intersection. A Porsche is stopped at the red light. You’re traveling at 36 km/h (10 m/s). As
34kurt

Your position at time t, relative to the stop line:

x_1=-15\,\mathrm m+\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t

The Porsche's position:

x_2=\dfrac12\left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

a. You pass the Porsche immediately after the time it takes for x_1=x_2:

-15\,\mathrm m+\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t=\dfrac12\left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=2.3\,\rm s

at which point you both will have traveled 7.8 m from the stop line.

b. The equation in part (a) has two solutions. The Porsche passes you at the second solution of about t=4.4\,\rm s, at which point you both will have traveled 29 m.

c. At time t, the Porsche is moving at velocity

v=\left(3\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

so that at the moment it passes you, its speed is 13 m/s, which is about 46.8 km/h and below the speed limit, so neither of you will be pulled over.

A water tank is in the shape of an inverted cone with depth 10 meters, and top radius 8 meters. Water is flowing into the tank a
Elis [28]

Answer:

The value of leaking rate in the question is repeated. By searching on the web I could find the correct value wich is 0.002h^2 m^3 /min.

The depth of the water has to be equal to 7.07 m in order to have a stationary volume.

Explanation:

In order to have a stationary water level the flow of water that comes into the tank (0.1 m^3/min) must be equal to the flow of water that goes out of the tank (0.002*h^2 m^3/min), therefore:

0.002*h^2 = 0.1

h^2 = 0.1/0.002

h^2 = 50

h = sqrt(50) = 7.07 m

In an inelastic collision, as compared to an elastic collision, what is to be expected?.
motikmotik
The loss or conservation of kinetic energy is the difference between an elastic and an inelastic collision. Kinetic energy is not preserved in an inelastic collision, and it will change forms into sound, heat, radiation, or another form. The kinetic energy in an elastic collision is preserved and does not change forms.
