What are some forms of mechanical energy

1 answer:

4 0

Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position (for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position). A moving car possesses mechanical energy due to its motion (kinetic energy).

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

c = 4,444.44

Explanation:

You have the following expression for the acceleration of the projectile:

$a=cs$ (1)

s: distance to the ground of the projectile

To find the value of the constant c you use the following formula:

$v^2=v_o^2+2a \Delta s$ (2)

vo: initial velocity = 0 m/s

v: final speed = 200 m/s

Δs: distance traveled by the projectile = 3m - 1.5m = 1.5m

You replace the expression (1) into the expression (2):

$v^2=2(cs)\Delta s$

You do the constant c in the last equation, then you replace the values of v, s and Δs:

$c=\frac{v^2}{2s\Delta s}=\frac{(200m/s)^2}{2(3m/s^2)(1.5m)}=4444.44$

Scientists have designed solar cells to trap solar energy and convert it to _____ energy.

lapo4ka [179]

Scientists have designed solar cells to trap solar energy and convert it to D electrical energy. Its D because converting something has to do with recharging something and electronics have to charge. I hope I helped.

A 29.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal.

castortr0y [4]

The vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the tension.

<h3>How to find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam?</h3>

Let's draw the free body diagram of the system.
To find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam, we have to balance the total vertical force to zero.

$F_V+T sin\alpha -mg=0\\F_V=mg-Tsin\alpha \\$
