What does the potential energy and kinetic energy of an object depend on ?

Physics
1 answer:
alexdok [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Both, potential energy and kinetic energy depends on mass. The higher the mass, the higher the energy. However, the difference is that potential energy depends on vertical height whereas kinetic energy depends on the velocity.

Explanation:

From the formula we can see that;

Potential Energy = mass* gravitational acceleration *vertical height.

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity)^2

27b. You're in an airplane that flies horizontally with speed 1000 km/h (280 m/s) when an engine falls off. Ignore air resistanc
jonny [76]

Answer:

8400m

Explanation:

The engine that falls off would have the same constant horizontal velocity as the airplane's when if falls off if we ignore air resistance. So it would have a horizontal velocity of 280m/s for 30seconds before it hits the ground.

Therefor the horizontal distance the engine travels during its fall is

280 * 30 = 8400m

7. A golfer hits a golf ball a through a horizontal displacement of 80m. The time of flight for the ball was 1.8
Darya [45]

Answer:

44.4 m/s

Explanation:

d = 80 m, t = 1.8 s, find v

d = v*t

v = d/t = 80/1.8 = 44.4 m/s

A car travels a distance of 400 m in 5 seconds. Calculate its average velocity.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

80 m/s

Explanation:

x = 400 m

t = 5 s

x = vt,

400 = v(5),

80 = v

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.
