The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.

Example: A roller coaster. When you are going up the energy that is accumulating is potential energy and when you go down the energy that is release is kinetic energy

Answer:

The potential energy is the energy possessed by the body by the position relative to other things. It is also known as stored energy

The formula is: P.E = mgh

P.E = mass * gravitational energy * height

What is the relationship between the angle of an incline and the acceleration of an object moving down the incline? How would yo
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The relationship between angle of an incline and the acceleration of an object moving down the incline.

As the angle of an incline increases, so does the acceleration of the body moving down the incline increases, resolving the force acting on an inclined object

Parallel force = mgsin, perpendicular = mgcosΘ

With th weigh component 'mg' of the parallel force accounting for the acceleration of the body down the incline.

mgsinΘ = ma

Fnet = ma

B.) From Fnet = ma

Fnet = ma

a = Fnet / m

Where Fnet = Net force = mgsinΘ, a = acceleration

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm
