<span>In physics, potential energy is the energy that something that is solid has due to its position in a force field or that a system has due to the configuration of its parts.
It can be increased or decreased from someone or something stopping it.
Usually it is increased by someone pushing or pulling it to a higher ground.
Then decreasing it would be that gravity is pulling on it.

If you are talking about gravitational potential energy, then the ONLY way to either increase OR decrease it is to raise or lower your height.  The higher you are off the ground the greater your PE, the closer you are to the ground, the lower your PE

A spaceship travels toward the Earth at a speed of 0.97c. The occupants of the ship are standing with their torsos parallel to t
Ket [755]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply length contraction einstein's relativistic formula to calculate the length observed by observer on the earth . For the observer , increased length will be observed for an observer on the earth

L=\frac{.5}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{.97c}{c})^2 } }

L=\frac{.5}{.24}

L= 2.05

The length will appear to be 2.05 m . and width will appear to be .5 m  to the observer on the spaceship. . It is so because it is length which is moving parallel to the direction of travel. Width will remain unchanged.

An open cooking pot containing 0.5 liter of water at 20°C, 1 bar sits on a stove burner. Once the burner is turned on, the water
sesenic [268]

Answer:

a. the time required for the onset of evaporation is: 196.1 seconds and b. the time required for all of the water to evaporate is: 1328.3 seconds.

Explanation:

We need to stablish that there is 3 states at this problem. At the firts one, water is compressed liquid and the conditions for this state are: P1=100KPa,T1=20°C,V1=0.5m^3. From the compressed liquid chart and using extrapolation, we can get: v1=vf1=0.0010018 (m^3/Kg) and u1=uf1=83.95(KJ/kg). Now we can find the mass of water at the state 1 as: m=\frac{V_{1} }{v_{1} } =\frac{0.5*10^{-3} }{0.0010018}=0.5(Kg) Then the liquid water is heated at a rate of 0.85KW, and its volume increase, while work is done by the system at the boundary, we can assume that the pressure remains constant throughout the entire process. At the second state the water is saturated liquid and the conditions are: P2=100KPa, T2=Tsat=99.63°C, v2=vf2=0.001043(m^3/Kg) and u2=uf2=417.36(KJ/Kg). Now we can find the work as:W=mP(v_{2} -v_{1} )=0.5*100*(0.001043-0.0010018)=0.00207(KJ). (a) After that we need to do an energy balance for process 1-2 and get: U=Q-W or m(u_{2} -u_{1} )= Q*t-W, solving for t we get the time required for the onset of evaporation:t=\frac{0.5*(417.36-83.95)+0.00207}{0.85}=196.1(s).(b) Then continue heat transfer to the cooking pot and results in phase change getting vapor at 99.63°C. At the final state or third state the mass is zero because all liquid was evaporated and the initial mass at this state is the same for the second state: 0.5 (Kg) and doing an energy balances results in:(m_{3} u_{3} -m_{2} u_{2})=Q*t-W+( m_{3}-m_{2})h_{e}, but m3=0, now solving for t we can get the time required for all of the water to evaporate as:t=\frac{m_{2}(h_{e}-u_{2})+W}{Q}. We can get from the saturated liquid chart the enthalpy he=hge=2675.5(KJ/Kg) @P=100KPa. Now we need to calculate the work related with the volume decreases as vapor exits the control volume or process 2-3 work boundary as: W=\int\limits^3_2 {p} \, dV= p*(V_{3} -V_{2} )=-m_{2} P_{2} v_{2} =-(0.5)*100*0.001043=-0.0522(KJ). Now replacing every value in the time equation we get:t=\frac{0.5(2675.5-417.36)+(-0.0522)}{0.85}=1328.3(s)

One object has a charge of +5.0 · 10-6 c, and a second object has a charge of +2.0 · 10-6
ruslelena [56]
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by
F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 is the charge of the first object
q2 is the charge of the second object
r is the separation between the two objects

In our problem:
q_1=+5.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C
q_2 = +2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C
r=0.5 m
So if we plug these numbers into the equation, we can find the electrostatic force between the two objects:
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(5.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C)(2.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C)}{(0.5 m)^2}=0.36 N

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The magnetic compass shows no deflection.

Explanation:

  • When a magnetic compass is placed on a current-carrying conductor, the compass needle shows deflection.
  • When the direction of the current is reversed, the needle deflects in the opposite direction.
  • This is due to the fact that the current-carrying conductor generates a magnetic field around it.
  • If the direction of the current is reversed, the magnetic polarization changes.
  • This phenomenon was first noticed by Oersted, and later it helped to develop electromagnetism.
