To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:

<h3>Potential energy </h3>
Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:
An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)
(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)
<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)
<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>
Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
Tom used more Force but over a shorter distance. Tom and Claudia both did the same amount of work.
Answer:
Δy= 5,075 10⁻⁶ m
Explanation:
The expression that describes the interference phenomenon is
d sin θ = (m + ½) λ
As the observation is on a distant screen
tan θ = y / x
tan θ= sin θ/cos θ
As in ethanes I will experience the separation of the vines is small and the distance to the big screen
tan θ = sin θ
Let's replace
d y / x = (m + ½) λ
The width of a bright stripe at the difference in distance
y₁ = (m + ½) λ x / d
m = 1
y₁ = 3/2 λ x / d
Let's use m = 1, we look for the following interference,
m = 2
y₂ = (2+ ½) λ x / d
The distance to the screen is constant x₁ = x₂ = x₀
The width of the bright stripe is
Δy = λ x / d (5/2 -3/2)
Δy = 630 10⁻⁹ 2.90 /0.360 10⁻³ (1)
Δy= 5,075 10⁻⁶ m
A conductor contains electrons that are bound so weakly to their atoms
that they can be ripped away with a small voltage, and sent scurrying in
the direction of the higher potential.
Answer:
2.83km/hr
Explanation:
Let stream flowing at the rat x km/hr
In still water
Speed of boat=4km/hr
Upstream speed=4-x
Downstream speed=4+x
Total time=2 hr
Time=Distance/speed
According to question



Using the formula






Hence, the stream is flowing at 2.83km/hr
