We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.
Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.
The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.
Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.
We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.
Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.
Explanation:
From Einstein's mass-energy relation:
E = mc²
Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.
When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.
Answer:
E. Student 1 is correct, because as θ is increased, h is the same.
Explanation:
Here we have the object of a certain mass falling under gravity so the force acting on the it will depend on mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.
Mathematically:
As we know that the work done is evaluated as the force applied on a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of the force.
And for work we have:
where:
displacement of the object
angle between the force and displacement vectors
Given that the height of the object is same in each trail of falling object under the gravity be it a free-fall or the incline plane.
- In case of free-fall the angle between the force is and the displacement is zero.
- In case when the body moves along the inclined plane the force applied by the gravity is same because it depends upon the mass of the object. And the net displacement in the direction of the gravitational force is the height of the object which is constant in both the cases.
So, the work done by the gravitational force is same in the two cases.
