omeli [17]

Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

You accidentally slide a glass of milk off a table that is 0.9 m tall. How long does it take the milk to hit the ground.
labwork [276]

Fine, lets do a retry of this.

Δd = -0.9m

v₁ = 0

v₂ = ?

a = -9.8 m/s²

Δt = ?

We can use the following kinematic equation and solve for Δt.

                             Δd = v₁Δt + 0.5(a)(Δt)²

                             Δd = 0.5(a)(Δt)²

                           2Δd = a(Δt)²

                     √2Δd/a = Δt

√2(-0.9m)/(-9.8 m/s²) = Δt

0.<u>4</u>28571428574048 = Δt

Therefore, it takes 0.4 seconds for the glass to hit the ground, or 0.43s as you said (even though I don't believe it follows significant digit rules)

Describe the difference between contact forces and field forces.
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Contact forces has to be touching for it to be an actual force. A field force does not have to be touching but it does have to be acting on particles at different positions in a space.
