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).

What name is given to a process where a substance melts under pressure?

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Melting

Explanation:

The process of a solid becoming a liquid is called melting. (an older term that you may see sometimes is fusion). The opposite process, a liquid becoming a solid, is called solidification. For any pure substance, the temperature at which melting occurs—known as the melting point—is a characteristic of that substance.

Do radio waves travel at the speed of sound

adell [148]

Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.

A rifle fires a 2.01 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the t

Zina [86]

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet $m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2}$ kg

Height difference of pellet rise $h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03$ m

Spring compression $x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

$mg(h_{f} -h_{o}) = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}$

Where $k =$ spring constant, $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }$

$k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }$

$k = 266.01$ $\frac{N}{m}$

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 $\frac{N}{m}$

Two objects are electrically charged. The net charge on one object is doubled. Therefore, the electric force _____.

creativ13 [48]

If net charge on one object is doubled, then electric force will also get double. It is because they are directly proportional to each other.

Hope this helps!
