Answer:

A. A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

TRUE

because there is no loss of energy in conservative type of forces.

B. A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

FALSE

It is not true because energy is not conserved in non-conservative forces.

C. The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

TRUE

It depends on total path length while in conservative it only depends on initial and final state

D. A potential energy function can be specified for a nonconservative force.

FALSE

Since energy is not stored in non-conservative forces so it is not defined for non conservative forces

E. A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

TRUE

Work done against conservative forces is stored in form of potential energy so it is possible to have two way conversion.

F. The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.

FALSE

Conservative force work depends only on initial and final state

A small metal object is tied to the end of a string and whirled round a circular path of radius 30cm. The object makes 20 oscill

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is 25.133 rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is 7.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular path, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of revolutions, n = 20

time of motion, t = 5 s

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$\omega = \frac{20 \ rev}{5 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = \frac{40\pi \ rad}{5 \ s} = 8\pi \ rad/s = 25.133 \ rad/s$

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$v = \omega r\\\\v = 25.133 \ rad/s \ \times \ 0.3 \ m\\\\v = 7.54 \ m/s$

Which objects will likely have the smallest gravitational force between them?

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A. Two tennis balls that are near each other

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force (F) between two objects is

$F = \dfrac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{d^{2} }$

where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, d is the distance between their centres, and G is the gravitational constant.

Thus, two objects that are far from each other will have a smaller gravitational force. We can eliminate Options C and D.

If the objects are at the same distance, those with the smaller mass will have a smaller force.

The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g.

The mass of a soccer ball is 430 g.

Two tennis balls that are near each other will have a smaller gravitational attraction.

Calculate the kinetic energy that the earth has because of (a) its rotation about its own axis and (b) its motion around the sun

Dominik [7]

Answer:

a. $K_{Axis}=2.574x10^{29}J$

b. $K_{Orbit}=2.6577x10^{33}J$

Explanation:

$K_{Axis}=\frac{1}{2}I*w^2$

$I_{Sphere}=\frac{2}{5}*m*r^2$

$w=\frac{2\pi }{T}$ , $T=24hrs*\frac{3600s}{1hr} =86400s$

radius earth = 6371 km

mass earth = 5,972*10^24 kg

a.

$K_{Axis}=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{5}*m*r^2*(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2$

$K_{axis}=\frac{4\pi^2}{5}*5.98x10^{24}kg*(6.38x10^6m)^2*(\frac{1}{86400s})^2$

$K_{Axis}=2.574x10^{29}J$

b.

$T=1year*\frac{365day}{1year}*\frac{24hr}{1day}*\frac{3600s}{1hr}=31536000s$

$K_{Orbit}=\frac{1}{2}*I*w$

$I=m*r^2$

$K_{Orbit}=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2*(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2$

$K_{Orbit}=\frac{4\pi^2}{5}*5.98x10^{24}*6.38x10^6m*(\frac{1}{31.536x10^6s})^2$

$K_{Orbit}=2.6577x10^{33}J$
