Answer:
Yes, since the choice of the zero o potential energy is arbitrary.
Explanation:
The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the object. The expression for the kinetic energy is as follows;
Here, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.
The kinetic energy can not be negative as the velocity is squared. It can be zero and positive.
Potential energy: It is the energy is due to the position of the object.
The expression for the potential energy is as follows;
PE= mgh
Here, g is the acceleration due to gravity and height.
Height can be taken from the reference point, zero which can be taken below zero and above zero. Zero is taken as origin. Below zero, the height is taken as negative and above zero, the height is taken as positive.
The potential energy can be zero, positive and negative.
The total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.
E= KE + PE
Here, KE is the kinetic energy and PE is the potential energy.
Therefore, the option (B) is correct.
The answer of this question is D. All of the above
Acceleration happen when an obeject change its velocity. It has nothing to do with speed.
The huge misconception about acceleration is when we thought it only aply if we increase our speed ( in a sport match, sportcaster often describe acceleration as an increase in players speed)
slower, faster, right , left, it does not matter, as long as that object change its velocity, it accelerates
The initial speed of the bolt is not 58.86 m/s.
Let a be the acceleration of the rocket.
During the 4 sec lift off, the rocket has reached a height of
h = (1/2)*a*t^2
with t=4,
h = (1/2)*a^16
h = 8*a
Its velocity at 4 sec is
v = t*a
v = 4*a
The initial velocity of the bolt is thus 4*a.
During the 6 sec fall, the bolt has the initial velocity V0=-4*a and it drops a total height of h=8*a. From the equation of motion,
h = (1/2)*g*t^2 + V0*t
Substituting h0=8*a, t=6 and V0=-4*a into it,
8*a = (1/2)*g*36 - 4*a*6
Solving for a
a = 5.52 m/s^2
Answer : First of all, to harness the solar energy and utilize it for the decomposition of water to make hydrogen fuel cell seems to be easy but practically it has many hurdles in its way. It might not work well, when the days would not be sunny. Also, the production of hydrogen fuel would require decomposing water which may need a high energy of activation, which would be more than the energy that will be produced from the fuel cell.
