Describe the transformations between potential and kinetic energy that occur when a 1000 kg rock falls from the top of a 18 mete

natima [27]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The principle of energy conservation states that energy is transformed from one form to another, in this case, the potential energy will be transformed into kinetic energy. When the Rock is at the highest point, its potential energy is maximum and, as the rock falls, its potential energy decreases as it increases its kinetic energy, the kinetic energy will be maximum at the time that the rock hits the ground, the value of this energy is equal to that of the rock at the time it is located in the top of the mountain.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\E_{p}=1000*9.81*18\\E_{p}=176580[J] =E_{k}\\

A glider with mass m = 0.230 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 4.50
loris [4]

Answer

given,

mass of glider = 0.23 Kg

spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m

spring stretched to 0.130 m

The springs potential energy =

 U = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

 U = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.5 \times 0.13^2

        U = 0.038 J

at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=0.038

 \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.23 \times v^2=0.038

         v² = 0.3304

         v = 0.575 m/s

displacement of the glider

      using conservation of energy

 \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

 x =v\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

 x =3\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.23}{4.5}}

        x = 0.678 m

Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = \frac{4m}{2} x^2  + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2

T = 4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy  

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = -4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange  equation = 4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = \frac{g}{7}

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

The blood pressure of human body is greater at the feet than at the brain. why?give reason​
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Gravity stronger closer to the core of the earth

Explanation:

The gravity applied to the feet is stronger than to the upper part of the body for example the brain because of the distance it is between the body part and the core of the earth where the gravity force is pulling towards. Even though the difference between the gravity force between the brain and the feet is minimal it is still a greater force at the feet than at the brain
