Answer:

Emechanical=mgh+ $\frac{1}{2}$ mν²

Explanation:

The equation for the total mechanical energy is:

Emechanical=Epotential+Ekinetic

In which,

Epotential=mgh; m: mass of the body, g: gravity; h: height

Ekinetic= $\frac{1}{2}$ mν²; m: mass of the body, ν: velocity of the body

So,

Emechanical=mgh+ $\frac{1}{2}$ mν²

The change in kinetic energy is $\Delta K = 3Fd$

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:

$W=K_f -K_i= \Delta K$

where :

W is the work done on the object

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the object

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy

Also, the work done on an object is (assuming that the force is applied parallel to the motion of the object):

$W=F\Delta x$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

$\Delta x$ is the displacement of the object

In this problem, the force acting on the object is

While the displacement is the horizontal distance travelled, so

$\Delta x = 3d$

Therefore, the work done is

$W=(F)(3d)=3Fd$

And so the change in kinetic energy is

$\Delta K = 3Fd$

Match the definition with the correct term: resistance to flow.

alukav5142 [94]

(1) friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces , fluid layers and material elements sliding against each other.
(2) gravity is a science fiction .
(3) Resistance ::: is a property of a conductor by which the passage of current is opposed causing electric energy to be transformed into heat .
(4) viscosity is the quantity that describes a fluid.

Two objects have the same momentum. Do the velocities of these objects necessarily have (a) the same directions and (b) the same

NeX [460]

Answer:

(a) They must have same direction

(b) It is not necessary for them to have same magnitudes

Explanation:

(a)

Momentum is a vector quantity. It is the product of mass (scalar) and velocity (vector). Thus, if the direction of velocity is changed, then as a result the direction of momentum will also change or its magnitude or component in the same direction will change. Hence, for the two objects to have same momentum, the directions of their velocities must also be the same.

(b)

Since, the momentum is product of velocity and mass. It is possible that two bodies of different masses with different velocities might have same momentum, provided the direction of their velocities is same.

For example, take a body of mass 4 kg moving with speed 5 m/s. It will have a momentum of 20 N.s. Now, consider another body of mass 2 kg, moving with speed 10 m/s. It will also have a momentum of 20 N.s.

Thus, it is not necessary for two objects to have same magnitude of velocity to have same momentum.

a roller coaster is traveling at 13m/s when it approaches a hill that is 400m long. heading down the hill, it accelerates 4.0m/s

Degger [83]

We will apply the equation:
2as = v² - u²
v = √(2as + u²)
v = √(2 x 4 x 400 + 13²)
v = 58 m/s

hope this helps
