As an object falls to the ground, its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>The statement is true</em>
Explanation:
<u>Energy Conversion </u>
When an object starts to fall in free air, it speeds up as it falls. The force of gravity acting on the object causes energy to be transferred from its gravitational potential energy to its kinetic energy. We can safely say the height converts to speed and vice-versa. If no external forces act on the system, we can easily calculate heights and speeds by knowing the total mechanical energy (gravitational potential plus kinetic) is conserved.

Answer:
The Required horizontal force is 230.04N
Explanation:
Since the velocity is constant so acceleration is zero; a=0
Now the horizontal force required to move the pickup is equal to the frictional force.
where:
F_{Hn} is the required Force
u is the friction coefficient
m is the mass
g is gravitational acceleration=9.8m/s^2
Eq (1)
Now, weight increases by 42% and friction coefficient decreases by 19%
New weight=(1.42*m*g) and new friction coefficient=0.81u
Eq (2)
Divide Eq(2) and Eq (1)
The Required horizontal force is 230.04N
