As your rockets went upwards how would you describe how the energies changed?

1 answer:

4 0

As a rocket increases height and slows down, it gains more and more potential energy and loses more and more kinetic energy. Potential energy is store energy (usually determined by height), and kinetic energy increases as speed increases.

A 5kg cat is lifted 2m into the air. How much GPE does it gain

luda_lava [24]

m = mass of the cat being lifted = 5 kg

h = height to which the cat is raised into air = 2 m

g = acceleration due to gravity of earth = 9.8 m/s²

U = gravitational potential energy gained by the cat

Gravitational potential energy gained by the cat is given as

U = m g h

inserting the values in the above equation

U = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2 m)

U = (5 x 9.8 x 2) (kg m²/s²)

U = 98 J

you push a coin across a table the coin stops how does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces

-BARSIC- [3]

When you exert a force on the coin, it will accelerate. If you push the coin and it moves at a constant velocity, the friction force must be equal to the force that you are exerting. This is an example of a balanced force. When the net force is greater than 0 N, the is an unbalanced force.

A truck moves 60 kilometers east from point A to point B. At point B, it turns back west and stops 15 kilometers away from point

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Distance: 75 km

Displacement: 45 km

Explanation:

- Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to the total space covered by an object. It is calculated as the sum of the distances covered in each motion, regardless of their direction. therefore in this case:

distance = 60 km + 15 km = 75 km

- Displacement is a vector quantity whose magnitude is equal to the difference between the final point and the starting point of the motion, so it also takes into account the direction of each motion. In this case, the truck moves 60 km east, and then 15 km west: if we call '0' the starting point, the final point will be then

$p_B = 60 km - 15 km=45 km$

And so the displacement is

$d=p_B - p_A=45 km - 0 = 45 km$
