Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is how much energy that object COULD release. When in reference to falling objects, the formula for the potential energy of an object is mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration, and h is the height. This is why, as the height of an object decreases, so does its potential energy. Hope this helps!

A 5 kg wooden block sitson a flat straight-away12 meters fromthe bottom of an infinitely long ramp, which has an angle of 20 deg

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(a) 19.71801m/s Velocity just before going up the ramp.

(b) 74.56338m.

Explanation:

We will solve it in two parts, first we will calculate time that 5kg wooden block would take to just reach ramp and with this time we will calculate final velocity that the wooden block would have in this time.

Second, we will calculate the component of velocity vector along inclined plane and the time that it would take for velocity to be 0 meters/s then with this time we will calculate the distance that inclined plane would travel along inclined plane.

Following formulas will be used.

$x(t) = \frac{1}{2} t^2 = 12m =16.2m/s^2 t^2$

$F =ma$

$V(t) = V_{o} +at$

$x(t) = x_{0} +v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}a t^2$

(a) Calculating velocity right before going up the ramp.

Wooden block is going on a straightaway and has net for on it.

$F_{n} =F-F_{s} = F-uF_{n} = 100N-0.4*9.8m/s^2*5kg$ = $81N$

and this force produces acceleration of

$a = \frac{F}{m}=\frac{81}{5} =16.2m/s^2 .$

With this acceleration, wooden block would reach at the foot of ramp in.

$x(t) = 12m = 16.2m/s^2*t^2$

$t = 1.217s$

and final velocity will be

$v(t) = v_{0}+at = 0+16.2m/s^2*1.2171s = 19.7180m/s.$

this velocity of wooden box just before going up the ramp.

(b) How far up the ramp will the wooden block go before stopping.

Ramp is at 20° relative to horizontal therefore velocity along the ramp that the wooden block would have will be.

$V= V_{h}cos(20) = 18.5288m/s$

and deceleration along the ramp is

$a = \frac{F_{s} }{m}$

Where $F_{s}$ force of friction along the inclined plane.

$F_s = uF_n = u*m*a$

$a = 9.8m/s^2*cos(20) = 9.2089m/s^2$

is a component of g along normal of the inclined plane.

$F_{s} = 0.25*5kg*9.2089m/s^2$

$= 11.5112N$

$a = \frac{11.5112N}{5kg} = 2.3022m/s^2$

And with this deceleration time needed to get wooded block to stop is.

$v(t) = v_o-at = 18.5288m/s-2.3022m/s^2*t = 0$

$t = \frac{18.5288m/s}{2.3022m/s^2} =8.04813s$

and in that time wooden block would travel

$x(8.04813s) = 18.52881m/s *8.04813s-\frac{1}{} 2.3022m/s^2*(8.0481)^2=74.56338m$

This is how up wooden box will go before coming to stop.

A uniform magnetic field passes through a horizontal circular wire loop at an angle 19.5 ∘ from the vertical. The magnitude of t

nlexa [21]

To solve this problem, we will apply the concepts related to Faraday's law that describes the behavior of the emf induced in the loop. Remember that this can be expressed as the product between the number of loops and the variation of the magnetic flux per unit of time. At the same time the magnetic flux through a loop of cross sectional area is,

$\Phi = BA Cos \theta$

Here,

$\theta$ = Angle between areal vector and magnetic field direction.

According to Faraday's law, induced emf in the loop is,

$\epsilon= -N \frac{d\Phi }{dt}$

$\epsilon = -N \frac{(BAcos\theta)}{dt}$

$\epsilon = -NAcos\theta \frac{dB}{dt}$

$\epsilon = -N\pi r^2 cos\theta \frac{d}{dt} ( ( 3.75 T ) + ( 3.05T/s ) t + ( -6.95 T/s^2 ) t^2)$

$\epsilon = -N\pi r^2 cos\theta( (3.05T/s)-(13.9T/s)t )$

At time $t = 5.71s$ , Induced emf is,

$\epsilon = -(1) \pi (0.220m)^2 cos(19.5\°)( (3.05T/s)-(13.9T/s)(5.71s))$

$\epsilon = 10.9V$

Therefore the magnitude of the induced emf is 10.9V

If the person drops box from 3.8 m how much energy is transferred from potential energy to kinetic energy

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

When work is done the energy is transferred from one type to another. This transferred energy may appear as kinetic energy.

For example, when you pedal your bicycle so that its speed increases, you are doing work to transfer chemical energy from your muscles to the kinetic energy of the bicycle.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses by virtue of its movement. The amount of kinetic energy possessed by a moving object depends on the mass of the object and its speed. The greater the mass and the speed of the object the greater its kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy Ek of an object of mass m at a speed v is given by the relationship

{E_k} = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}

m is the mass of the object in kilograms ( kg) and v is the speed of the object in metres per second ( m\,s^{-1}).

Explanation:

When work is done on an object it may also lead to energy being transferred to the object in the form of gravitational potential energy of the object.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has by virtue of its position above the surface of the Earth. When an object is lifted, work is done. When work is done in raising the height of an object, energy is transferred as a gain in the gravitational potential energy of the object.

For example, suppose you lift a suitcase of mass m through a height h. The weight W of the suit case is a downward force of size mg. In lifting the suitcase, you would have to pull upwards on it with a force equal in size to its weight, mg.

Two suitcases. One has a green force arrow pointing up labelled F and a purple force arrow pointing down labelled 'Weight = mg'. The other case is raised by a height labelled h.

Suitcases with forces and height labelled

When this force (equal to the weight mg, but upwards) is applied to the suitcase over the distance h:

Work\,done=force\,\times\,distance\,upwards=mg\,\times\,h

This energy is transferred to potential energy when raising the object through a known height.

Energy = mass \times gravitational\,field\,strength \times height

E = m \times g \times h

This is the relationship used to calculate gravitational potential energy.

{E_p} = mgh

where m is the mass of the object in kilograms (kg), g is the gravitational field strength, (for positions near the surface of the Earth g = 9∙8 newtons per kilogram ( N kg ^{-1} and h is the height above the surface of the Earth in metres ( m).
