How could you increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth?

1 answer:

5 0

Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE = mgh

Where m is your mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and h is the height in m.

The only value that be controlled here is the height h. The mass is constant, and acceleration due to gravity at that place is constant.

But h can be varied.

Hence to increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth is to increase the height h.

This can be done by climbing up a table, or climbing up a building through the stairs, or by using a lift.

Finger [1]

After the collision, the momentum didn't change, so the total momentum in x and y are the same as the initial.

The x component was calculated by subtracting the initial momentum (total) minus the momentum of the first ball after the collision

In the y component, as at the beginning, the total momentum was 0 in this axis, the sum of both the first and struck ball has to be the same in opposite directions. In other words, both have the same magnitude but in opposite directions

$\begin{gathered} Py=0.71kg\cdot2.17\cdot sin(30) \\ Py=0.77kg\cdot m/s \end{gathered}$

This is for both balls after the collision, but one goes in a positive and the other in a negative direction.

Choose the sequence of energy forms that best fits each item.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

1. chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

2. Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

3. Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

4. Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy --> Mechanical Energy

5. Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

6. Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

7. Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

8. Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

Explanation:

1.FLASHLIGHT:

chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

The chemical energy from the cell batteries is converted to electrical energy, which is used to produce the light energy in form of flashlight.

2.ELECTRIC SAW:

Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the mechanical energy used to run the saw blade.

3.TOASTER:

Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the heat energy (thermal energy) used in browning the bread.

4.GAS POWERED SCOOTER:

Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The chemical energy from fuel, such as petrol is converted to heat (thermal energy) in the engine by the process of combustion. This heat is then used to do work by conversion into mechanical energy, through piston movement, which in turn moves the shaft and the scooter.

5.THE SUN:

Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

The nuclear reactions on Sun provide nuclear energy which is converted into light and thermal energy that reaches us on earth.

6.WIND TURBINE:

Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

The mechanical energy is provided by wind when it rotates the blade of turbine. This is then converted to electrical energy b the turbine.

7.IPOD:

Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

The chemical energy i supplied by the battery of ipod, which is converted to electrical energy and that electrical energy is used to produce sound by ipod.

8.SPEAKER VIBRATES

Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

The mechanical energy due to vibration produces sound energy.
