Gravity __________ your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and __________it when you are driving downhill.

Physics

Oxana [17]3 years ago
3 0
Gravity decreases your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill since the direction of motion is opposite for both. Driving uphill is force going upward while gravity pulls object down. When it is going downhill, the car tends to go faster since the gravity helps the object to go down by adding another value to the total acceleration of the motion of the object. Using the forces of balance, an object going up tends to become heavier while object going down tends to become lighter because of the gravity factor. Another analogy is the motion of elevators going up and down that incurs effects to your weiight.

A factory worker pushes a 32.0 kg crate a distance of 7.0 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on
g100num [7]

Answer:

(a) 81.54 N

(b) 570.75 J

(c) - 570.75 J

(d) 0 J, 0 J

(e) 0 J  

Explanation:

mass of crate, m = 32 kg

distance, s = 7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.26

(a) As it is moving with constant velocity so the force applied is equal to the friction force.

F = 0.26 x m x g = 0.26 x 32 x 9.8 = 81.54 N

(b) The work done on the crate

W = F x s = 81.54 x 7 = 570.75 J

(c) Work done by the friction

W' = - W = - 570.75 J

(d) Work done by the normal force

W'' = m g cos 90 = 0 J

Work done by the gravity

Wg = m g cos 90 = 0 J

(e) The total work done is

Wnet = W + W' + W'' + Wg = 570.75 - 570.75 + 0 = 0 J

In this problem, you will answer several questions that will help you better understand the moment of inertia, its properties, a
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

a)  Total mass form, density and axis of rotation location are  True

b)   I = m r²

Explanation:

a) The moment of inertia is the inertia of the rotational movement is defined as

       I = ∫ r² dm

Where r is the distance from the pivot point and m the difference in body mass

In general, mass is expressed through density

        ρ = m / V

        dm = ρ dV

From these two equations we can see that the moment of inertia depends on mass, density and distance

Let's examine the statements, the moment of inertia depends on

- Linear speed       False

- Acceleration angular False

-  Total mass form True

-  density True

- axis of rotation location   True

b) we calculate the moment of inertia of a particle

For a particle the mass is at a point whereby the integral is immediate, where the moment of inertia is

          I = m r²

The velocity of a passenger relative to a boat is -vpb. The velocity of the boat relative to the river it is moving on is vbr. T
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

  • If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
  • vps = vbr + vrs
  • As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
  • vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb
