Potential energy is stored energy. For example, if a bowling ball is on top of a giant hill, we say it has potential energy because it has the potential to do work which is to roll down the hill.
Kinetic energy is the energy of movement so once that ball rolls down that hill, that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Answer:
u=36.8m/s
Explanation:
because of the acceleration is a constant acceleration we can use one of the "SUVAT" equations
u^2=v^2-2ā*s. where:
u^2 stands for intial velocity
v^2 stands for final velocity
since the cougar skidded to a complete stop the final velocity is zero.
u^2=v^2-2ā*s
u^2=(0)^2 -2(-2.87 m/s^2)*236 m
u^2=0+5.74m/s^2* 236m
u^2=1354.64m^2/s^2
u=√1354.64m^2/s^2
u=36.8m/s (approximate value)
when ever the acceleration is constant you can use one of the following equation to find the required value.
1. v = u + at. (no s)
2. s= 1/2(u+v)t. (no ā)
3. s=ut + 1/2at^2. ( no v)
4. v^2=u^2 + 2āS. (no t). 5. s= vt - 1/2at^2. (no u)
Answer:
Explanation:
We know that the volume V for a sphere of radius r is
If we got an uncertainty 
the formula for the uncertainty of V is:
We can calculate this uncertainty, first we obtain the derivative:
And using it in the formula:
The relative uncertainty is:
Using the values for the problem:
This is, a percent uncertainty of 4.77 %
The change in pitch of a train's horn as it passes while you are
standing still can be described by the Doppler effect, but that
doesn't explain it.
