What steps are involved in converting potential energy to kinetic energy, or kinetic energy to potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy obtained by an object due to the position of an object. Whereas kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

For example, an ball is placed over a building of height h. Then steps followed to covert its potential energy into kinetic energy are as follows.

Step 1: When ball is at placed over a building of height h, then it has only potential energy and no kinetic energy.

Step 2: A man pushes the ball and it moves in the downward direction.

Step 3: When ball starts to move or fall it gains kinetic energy, that is potential energy now becomes equal to 0.

Similarly, on reaching the ground and after bouncing a few times when it stop moving then kinetic energy converts into potential energy.

prisoha [69]

Personally, I agree with your answer, namely that the likely-intended event happening here is one of acceleration. Having said that, I also want to add: it pains me to see this type of wording because, clearly, it is vague and only invites confusion of the type you are talking about.

Good luck!

A sand core used to form the internal surfaces of a steel casting experiences a buoyancy force of 225 n. the volume of the mold
pashok25 [27]

Newton’s second law gives us the relationship of force F, mass m and acceleration a. The formula is given as:

<span>F = m a                  --> 1</span>

However we also know that the relationship of mass m, density ρ, and volume V is:

<span>m = V ρ                 --> 2</span>

Therefore substituting equation 2 to equation 1:

F = ρ V a = ρ V g

where a is acceleration due to gravity, ρ is density of water and V is the volume of the casting, therefore:

F = (1x10^-3 kg/cm^3) (4840 cm^3) (9.8 m/s^2)

F = 47.432 kg m/s^2

F = 47.432 N

 

Going back to equation 1:

47.432 N = m (9.8 m/s^2)

m = 4.84 kg

 

<span>Hence the weight of the final casting is 4.84 kg</span>

If you release a weight and allow it to fall under the influence of gravity alone, what kind of motion will it experience?
fgiga [73]
The object is in free fall when and only when it is being affected by gravity alone.  It is not being influenced by a significant amount of air resistance will always be in free fall.  F(net)/m = acceleration

A car is moving at 80km/h accelerates to pass a truck. Five seconds later the car is moving at 100km/h. What is the Acceleration
labwork [276]

Answer/Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. Calculation of such is straightforward, if we are given the final velocity, the initial velocity and the total time interval. We can just use the kinematic equations. Fortunately, we are given these values. So, we calculate as follows:

acceleration = v - v0 / t

acceleration = (80 mph - 50 mph) ( 1 h / 3600) / 5 s

acceleration = 1.67 x 10^-3 m / s^2
