If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a resul

Physics

Kobotan [32]3 years ago

-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.

If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy.  So the <em>kinetic energy</em> in the system <em>must</em> <em>decrease</em>.

In fact, this isn't even a "result".  The kinetic energy has to decrease <em><u>before</u></em> the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.

If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out.  If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.

Force of 10N down,10N to the right,and 5N to the left are acting on a ball .it acceleration horizontally to the right.what other
denpristay [2]

Answer:

A 10 N force pointing up

Explanation:

If the net acceleration of the object is horizontal pointing to the right, that means that all vertical forces must have canceled out, and the only ones "unbalanced" are the horizontal ones (10 N to the right minus 5 N to the left giving a net force of 5 N to the right).

Since they mentioned only one vertical force pointing down (10 N), there must be another one of same magnitude but pointing in opposite direction (up).

Then there must also be a 10 N force pointing up acting on the object.

What is the net charge of a metal ball if there are 21,749 extra electrons in it?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of extra electrons, n = 21749

We need to find the net charge on the metal ball. Let Q is the net charge.

We know that the charge on an electron is q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

To find the net charge if there are n number of extra electrons is :

Q = n × q

Q=21749\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Q=3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C

So, the net charge on the metal ball is 3.47\times 10^{-15}\ C. Hence, this is the required solution.
