If potential energy decreases will kinetic energy increase?

Physics

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

It's because as total energy remains constant, kinetic energy decreases potential energy increases. as an object moves the potential energy gradually gets decreased while kinetic energy increases so as to maintain energy constant.

Answer:

Yes it will

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement or change. The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.

John is going to use a rope to pull his sister Laura across the ground in a sled through the snow. He is pulling horizontally wi
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The mass of Laura and the sled combined is 887.5 kg

Explanation:

The total force due to weight of Laura and friction on the sled can be calculated as follows;

F_T = F_L+F_S

     = (400 + 310) N

     = 710 N

From Newton's second law of motion, "the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force.

F_T = \frac{(M_L+M_S)V}{t}

where;

M_L is mass of Laura and

M_S is mass of sled

Mass of Laura and the sled combined is calculated as follows;

(M_L+M_S) = \frac{F_T*t}{V}

given

V = Δv = 4-0 = 4m/s

t = 5 s

(M_L+M_S) = \frac{710*5}{4}\\\\(M_L+M_S) =  887.5 kg

Therefore, the mass of Laura and the sled combined is 887.5 kg

Suppose two vectors have unequal magnitudes. can their sum be zero? explain
GalinKa [24]

Answer;

-  No, Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero.

Explanation;

-Two vectors of equal magnitude that are pointing in opposite directions will sum to zero.

-Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero. If they point along the same line, since their magnitudes are different, the sum will not be zero.

- If they point in different directions, then you can always decompose one vector into two components: one along the other vector and one perpendicular to the other vector. In this case, the perpendicular component can never be eliminated.

Bill is farsighted and has a near point located 119 cm from his eyes. Anne is also farsighted, but her near point is 70.0 cm fro
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For Bill's glasses)

d_o=25 cm-2 cm=23.2 cm

d_i=129 cm-2 cm=127 cm

We know that

1 / f = 1 / d_o + 1 / d_i


f=(1 / d_o + 1 / d_i)^-1


so plug the numbers in

f = (1 / (23) + 1 / (127))^-1


= 28.08 cm

For Anna's glasses)

d_o=25 cm-2 cm=23 cm

d_i=70.0 cm-2 cm=68 cm

Same thing

(1 / f = 1 / d_o + 1 / d_i
)

f=(1 / do + 1 / di)^-1


so plug the numbers in

f = (1 / (23) + 1 / (68))^-1


= 17.21 cm
