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

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.

An 8 kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. if its momentum is 16 kg* m/s, how fast is it traveling ?
morpeh [17]
From the information given, The mass of the bowling ball is 8 Kilograms and the momentum with which it is moving is 16 kg m/s. We use the formula p = m × v Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need velocity so we rewrite the equation thus: P = mv, therefore p/m = v or v = p/m In our case p = 16 and m = 8 v = p/m v = 16/8 v = 2 Therefore the bowling ball is travelling at 2m/s

the motion of a particle along a straight line is represented by the position versus time graph above. at which of the labeled p
atroni [7]

Point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.

On the graph, A is the point where magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is greatest as compared to other positions on the graph because the height of point A is the largest as compared to other points of the graph.

The graph shows at which point acceleration of an object is higher and lower so we can conclude that point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.

1.) because then people can evacuate the area in the path<span> of the hurricane.
2.) </span><span>At higher altitudes, water vapor starts to condense into clouds and rain, releasing heat that warms the surrounding air, Which makes it rise as well. Warmer waters feed more energetic storms.
3.) </span> <span>A hurricane starts off as a series of thunderstorms which intensify as it moves over the warm and humid sea. The humidity is at a constant level and so it continues to grow over the sea. Any kind of decrease or increase in humidity can change the strength of a hurricane. 
4.) </span><span>Actually, tropical cyclones need weak winds. If the atmospheric winds are even remotely strong, they will act to cut back the system and prevent the convection from wrapping around the center.
