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

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. What best describes the motion of the students? Each stud
Bond [772]

Lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is a Transverse wave?</h3>
  • The wave in which the oscillation of particles is is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

  • The students can make a transverse wave by raising their hands up and then down, one student at a time.

  • The raised hand represents the oscillation of particles while the sequence of the raising hand represents the direction of energy transfer.

Therefore, lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students.

A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of M = 1/2 M vi²

let final velocity be vf

v² = u² + 2a s

vf² =  vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 Mvf²

= 1/2 M ( vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

1/2 M vi² + FD

Ratio with initial value

1/2 M  vi² + FD) / 1/2 M  vi²

RK = 1 + FD / 2 M  vi²

a motorcycle starts from rest covers 200 meter distance in 6 second calculate final velocity and acceleration​
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

200 = 0 * 6 + 1/2 * a * (6)^2

200 = 1/2 * a * 36

200 = 18 a

a = 200/18

a= 11.1m/sec^2

v = u + at

v = 0 + 11.1 * 6

v = 66.6m/s

hope it helps you

A 39-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder is being pulled away from the wall at the rate
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the area when the bottom of the ladder (denoted by b) is at 36 ft. from the wall is the following:

\frac{dA}{dt}|_{b=36}=-571.2\, ft^2/s

Explanation:

The Area of the triangle is given by A=h\times b where h=\sqrt{l^2-b^2} (by using the Pythagoras' Theorem) and b is the length of the base of the triangle or the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall.

The area is then

A=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}b

The rate of change of the area is given by its time derivative

\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\cdot b\right)

\implies \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\right)\cdot b+\frac{db}{dt}\cdot\sqrt{l^2-b^2}

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\frac{d}{dt}(l^2-b^2)\cdot b+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt} Product rule

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot 2\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt} Chain rule

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{db}{dt}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\right)

In here we can identify b=36\, ft, l=39 and \frac{db}{dt}=8\,ft/s.

The result is then

\frac{dA}{dt}=8\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\cdot 36^2+\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\right)=-571.2\, ft^2/s
