1) Mechanical energy is conserved in all the 4 situations

2) True

3) The potential energy of the block is 490 J

Explanation:

1)

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) of a body:

E=PE+KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of non-conservative forces (such as air resistance, friction...), the mechanical energy of a body is always conserved.

This means that the mechanical energy is conserved in all the situations described. More specifically:

- Child on a swing : there is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

- Pendulum : there is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

Bow and Arrow : there is a conversion of energy from elastic potential (when the bow is stretched) to kinetic energy (when the arrow is shot)

Roller Coaster: there is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

2)

As we  said, the mechanical energy of the object falling down at any point of the fall is

E=KE+PE

where KE is the kinetic energy and PE is the potential energy. The value of E is constant, since the mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration of gravity, h is the height of the object above the ground.

As the object falls, its height h decreases, and therefore, the potential energy PE also decreases. But we said that E must remain constant: therefore, if PE decreases, this means that KE increases, therefore as the object falls, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (in fact, the  speed of the object increases). So the statement is true.

3)

The potential energy of an object is given by the equation

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the block in this problem, we have:

m = 10 kg

h = 5 m

Substituting, we find its potential energy:

PE=(10)(9.8)(5)=490 J

When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball ____________.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: "B" Changing Position

Great Question!

Explanation: <u><em>When a ball bounces to the ground it hits the ground with some energy. The amount of energy with which it hits the ground is kinetic energy. When it comes in the contact with the ground kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy. This potential energy again gets converted into kinetic energy and balls moves again from the ground and bounces multiple times. So, the ball ends up changing position</em></u>

Which describes how to generate a real image of an object using a concave mirror?The object must be closer to the mirror than th
iren2701 [21]
In order to form a real image using a concave mirror, the object must be placed beyond the center of curvature of the mirror. Therefore, the object must be further from the mirror than the focal point. The image that will form will be real, but it will also be inverted and its magnification will be less than 1, meaning it will be smaller than the actual object.

Suppose that the space shuttle Columbia accelerates at 14.0 m/s2 for 8.50 minutes after takeoff.
givi [52]

Answer:

A. speed = 7.14 Km/s

B. distance = 1820.7 Km

Explanation:

Given that: a = 14.0 m/s^{2}, t = 8.50 minutes.

But,

t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60

  = 510 seconds

A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

So that,

v = 14 x 510

 = 7140 m/s

The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.

B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u = 0

s = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

  = \frac{1}{2} x 14 x (510)^{2}

 = 7 x 260100

 = 1820700 m

The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is  1820.7 Km.
