As an apple falls from a tree, which types of energy are changing?

Physics
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
6 0
When an apple falls from the tree to the ground, its energy of position (stored as gravitational potential energy) is converted to kinetic energy, the energy of motion, as it falls. When the apple hits the ground, kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy.

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water. he can go upstream for 35 km in the same time it takes to
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Let F = the downstream speed of the water. 

<span>Then the boat's upstream speed is: 15 - F </span>
<span>The boat's downstream speed is: 15 + F </span>


<span>Assume both the journeys mentioned take T hours, then using "speed x time = distance" we get: </span>

<span>Downstream journey: (15 + F)T = 140 </span>
<span>Upstream journey: (15 - F)T = 35 </span>


<span>Add the two formulae together: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T + (15 - F)T = 140 + 35 </span>

<span>15T + FT + 15T - FT = 175 </span>

<span>30T = 175 </span>

<span>T = 35/6 </span>


<span>Use one of the equations to find F: </span>

<span>(15 + F)T = 140 </span>

<span>15 + F = 140/T </span>
<span>F = 140/T - 15 </span>
<span>F = 140/(35/6) - 15 </span>
<span>F = 24 - 15 </span>
<span>F = 9 </span>

<span>i.e. the downstream speed of the water is 9 kph </span>

<span>Therefore, the boat's speed downstream is 15 + F = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.
the answer is:                       *24kph*</span>

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Is the velocity constant? Is there any friction?

3 meters per second

then after 40 seconds it must 3*40 = 120 meters

120 meters or 0.12 km if you will

A jet airliner moving initially at 406 mph (with respect to the ground) to the east moves into a region where the wind is blowin
astraxan [27]

Answer:

966 mph

Explanation:

Using as convention:

- East --> positive x-direction

- North --> Positive y-direction

The x- and y- components of the initial velocity of the jet can be written as

v_{1x} = 406 mph\\v_{1y} = 0

While the components of the velocity of the wind are

v_{2x} = (568)(cos 15^{\circ})=548.6 mph\\v_{2y} = (568)(sin 15^{\circ})=147.0 mph

So the components of the resultant velocity of the jet are

v_x = v_{1x}+v_{2x}=406+548.6=954.6 mph\\v_y = v_{1y}+v_{2y}=0+147.0=147.0 mph

And the new speed is the magnitude of the resultant velocity:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(954.6)^2+(147.0)^2}=965.8 mph \sim 966 mph

How long should a spring be stretched for it to store 45 J of energy? The force constant of the spring is
ELEN [110]

Answer:

x = 0.4 m

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched from its equilibrium position. Some energy is stored in the spring. This energy is called the elastic potential energy of the spring. The formula used to calculate the magnitude of this stored energy is given as follows:

P.E = (1/2)kx²

where,

P.E = Elastic Potential Energy Stored in the spring = 45 J

k = Spring Constant = 540 N/m

x = amount of stretching = ?

Therefore,

45 J = (1/2)(540 N/m)x²

x² = (45 J)(2)/(540 N/m)

x = √(0.167 m²)

<u>x = 0.4 m</u>
