What is the difference between kinetic and gravitacional energy?

Physics
1 answer:
kondaur [170]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies

How does an increase in temperature generally affect the rate of a reaction?
Zigmanuir [339]

Most reactions are exothemic. If the forward reaction of an equilibrium reaction is exothemic then the reverse reaction must be endothermic.

If a system in equilibrium is heated, it will move in exothermic direction to give out heat energy.

A person travelled in the -x direction at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s. The person's final position is -10.0 m, and the initial p
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

(c) time required to travel = 8 sec

Explanation:

We have given the final position = -10 m on x axis

And the initial position =10 m

So total distance = 10-(-10)=20 m

The speed is given as 2.5 m/sec

We have tof ind the time required by the person to travel

Time is given by t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{20}{2.5}=8 sec

So the option (c) is correct option

____________ was a series of human spaceflight missions undertaken by the u.S. Devoted to the goal of landing a man on the moon
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The Apollo program or Project Apollo was a series of human spaceflight missions undertaken by the u.S. Devoted to the goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him to earth safely.

Explanation:

Project Apollo or Apollo program was the spaceflight program carried out by the United States of America during the years 1961-1972 using the Apollo spacecraft. This project's main goal was to land a man on the Moon and to safely return him to Earth. This goal was accomplished with the Apollo 11 moon-landing mission on July 20, 1969, when an Apollo Lunar Module (LM) landed on the Moon's surface and the astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the lunar surface while Michael Collins stayed in the command and service module (CSM) in the lunar orbit. On July 24, all three astronauts landed safely on Earth.

This project included three unmanned test flights (Apollo 4 through Apollo 6) and eleven manned flights (Apollo 7 through Apollo 17). All these spaceflight missions were carried out by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and all were launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

Cora, an electrician, wraps a copper wire with a thick plastic coating. What is she most likely trying to do?
alukav5142 [94]
The correct answer among the choices given is the last option. Cora wrapping the copper wire with a thick plastic coating keeps a current from passing out a wire. The plastic wire here serves as an insulator. An insulator is a material that prevents electricity or current to flow out the circuit. In order to lessen the loss of energy.
