Which property of potential energy distinguishes it from kinetic energy?

Physics

There are several differences, however a big property that distinguishes the 2 is that potential energy cannot be transferred, whereas kinetic energy can.
We can see this for example in a bow, when you pull it back it has elastic potential energy because of the strain in the bow, however you can't transfer this potential energy to another object, whereas the flying arrow can transfer it's KE to the target it hits as several things including thermal and sound energy.

just olya [345]

Answer:

The moment of inertial of the wheel,  I = 8(\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2 ) + M_rL^2

Explanation:

Given;

8 spokes of uniform diameter

mass of each spoke, = M_s

length of each spoke, = L

mass of outer ring, = M_r

The moment of inertial of the wheel will be calculated as;

I = 8I_{spoke} + I_{ring}

where;

I_{spoke is the moment of inertia of each spoke

I_{ring is the moment of inertia of the rim

Moment of inertia of each spoke =\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2

Moment of inertial of the wheel

I = 8(\frac{1}{3}M_sL^2 ) + M_rL^2

Can someone help me with this Physics question please?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H} where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3} and simplifying a bit:

N=48.0(.5)^4 and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules
