Sophia is planning on going down an 8-m water slide. Her weight is 50 N. She knows that she has gravitational potential energy (

GPE) at various points on the slide. At each point, her GPE can be found by using an equation.
GPE = weight × height above ground

Explain the relationship between GPE and height as height increases. Provide another example of this explanation. Then, infer what happens to Sophia’s kinetic energy if her GPE decreases.

Pepsi [2]4 years ago

Answer:The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. The larger the distance something falls through the greater the amount of GPE the object loses as it falls. As most of this GPE gets changed into kinetic energy, the higher up the object starts from the faster it will be falling when it hits the ground.  So a change in gravitational potential energy depends on the height an object moves through.

Explanation: Lifting an apple up 1 metre is easier work than lifting an apple tree the same height. This is because a tree has more mass, so it needs to be given more gravitational potential energy to reach the same height.

The kinetic energy of a ball with a mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s is
Arada [10]
The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2 x mass x velocity squared. We can plug in the information for the ball into this equation to determine the kinetic energy. The mass is 0.5 kg and the velocity is 10 meters per second. So: KE = (1/2)(0.5)(10)^2. Thus the kinetic energy of the ball is 25 J. The unit Joule (J) is the same as kgm^2/s^2 and is the SI unit for kinetic energy.

Two 3 m long conductors are separated from each other by 5 mm and carry a current of 10 A dc. Calculate the force that one condu
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0.012 N

Explanation:

The formula to apply is that adopted from the Ampere law which is;

F= μ* I₁*I₂*l /2πd   where

F is force that one conductor exerts on the other.

μ = magnetic permeability of free space = 4π×10⁻⁷ T. m/A

I₁ = current in conductor one=10 A

I₂ = current in conductor two= 10 A

l= length of conductor= 3 m

d= distance between the conductors = 5 mm = 0.005 m

Applying the values in the equation

F= 4π×10⁻⁷ *10*10*3 / 2π*0.005

F= 6 * 10⁻⁵ / 0.005

F=0.012 N
