Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr

Lunna [17]2 years ago

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

The mass of a hot-air balloon and its cargo (not including the air inside) is 170 kg. The air outside is at 10.0°C and 101 kPa.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

108.37°C

Explanation:

P₁ = Initial pressure = 101 kPa

V₁ = Initial volume = 530 m³

T₁ = Initial temperature = 10°C = 10+273.15 =283.15 K

P₂ = Final pressure = 101 kPa (because it is open to atmosphere)

V₂ = Final volume = 530 m³

P₁V₁ = n₁RT₁

⇒101×530 = n₁RT₁

⇒53530 J = n₁RT₁

P₂V₂ = n₂RT₂

⇒53530 J = n₂RT₂

\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\rho V_1}{\rho V_1-170}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{1.244\times 530}{1.244\times 530-170}=1.347\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{m_2}=1.347\\\Rightarrow \frac{n_1}{n_2}=1.347

Dividing the first two equations we get

1=\frac{n_1}{n_2}\frac{T_1}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow 1=1.347\frac{283.15}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow T_2=1.347\times 283.15= 381.52\ K

∴Temperature must the air in the balloon be warmed before the balloon will lift off is 381.25-273.15 = 108.37°C

Abdominal breathing is a condition in which only the inferior half of the lungs can be seen expanding and contracting with each
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.

Explanation:

Abdominal breathing is a condition in which inferior half of the lungs can be seen relaxing or contracting and expanding with the breath. This condition occurs due to the various conditions that lead to the respiratory.

It is cause due to the damage to nerves that control the diaphragm. The phrenic nerve is one of the nerve of diaphragm initiates in the neck and passes down.

Thus, the correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.

The phrenic nerve is a nerve that originates in the neck (C3–C5) and passes down between the lung and heart to reach the diaphragm.

Five properties of magnet​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

1. The magnet is magnetic and can attract iron articles.

2. The magnet has magnetic poles. Each magnet has two kinds of poles: N pole and S pole. They are in pairs.

3. Temporary magnet and permanent magnet: when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called temporary magnet (for example: iron); when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is not easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called permanent magnet (for example: steel).

4. When two magnets are close to each other, the same poles will repel and push away from each other, and the different poles will attract and stick to each other. Therefore: the same pole repels each other, the different pole attracts each other.

5. The attraction of a magnetic object is called magnetism. An object is surrounded by a magnetic material. The area affected by the magnetic force is called the magnetic field.

Calculate the average induced voltage between the tips of the wings of an airplane flying above East Lansing at a speed of 885 k
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

=0.855V

Explanation:

The induced voltage can be calculated using below expression

E =B x dA/dt

Where dA/dt = area

B= magnetic field = 6.90×10-5 T.

We were given speed of 885 km/h but we will need to convert to m/s for consistency of unit

speed = 885 km/h

speed = 885 x 10^3 m/hr

speed = 885 x 10^3/60 x60 m/s

speed = 245.8 m/s

If The aircraft wing sweep out" an area

at t= 50.4seconds then we have;

dA/dt = 50.4 x 245.8

= 123388.32m^2/s

Then from the expression above

E =B x dA/dt substitute the values of each parameters, we have

E = 6.90 x 10^-5 x 12388.32 V

E =0.855V

Hence, the average induced voltage between the tips of the wings is =0.855V
