Answer:
A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy
Explanation:
If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.
However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.
You should disconnect all wires from the circuit or make sure the switch is off or batteries are out
Answer:
Explanation:
A )
At the bottom of the circle , the potential energy of the stopper is converted into kinetic energy
1/2 m V² = mg x 2r + 1/2 mv²
m is mass of stopper , V is velocity at the bottom , r is radius of the circular path which is length of the string , v is velocity at the top
1/2 V² = g x 2r + 1/2 v²
V² = g x 4r + v²
V² = 9.8 x 4 + 8²
V² = 103.2
V = 10.16 m/s
B )
If T be the tension at the top
Net downward force
= mg + T . This force provides centripetal force for the circular motion
mg +T = mv² / r
T = mv²/r -mg
= m ( v²/r - g )
= .005 ( 8²/1 -g )
= .005 x 54.2
= .27 N .
C ) At the bottom
Net force = T - mg , T is tension at the bottom , V is velocity at bottom
T-mg = mV²/r
T = m ( V²/r +g )
= .005 ( 10.16²/1 +9.8)
= .005 x 113
= .56 N .
