What it means to say that energy is conserved as a ball fall towards ground

Physics

Mechanical energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

if there is no friction, M.E. is conserved
as a ball falls, it is losing height. (P.E.=mgh , therefore P.E. will decrease)

the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy which equals 1/2MV^2.

the increase in K.E. equals the decrease in P.E.

and the sum of both equals M.E.

thus mechanical energy is conserved.

hope this helps you.

A delivery truck travels 2.8 km North, 1.0 km East, and 1.6 km South. The final displacement from the origin is ___km to the ___
34kurt

Answer:

The final displacement from the origin is <u>1.6</u> km to the <u>NE</u>

Explanation:

The directions in which the delivery truck travels are;

1) 2.8 km North = 2.8·\hat j, in vector form

2) 1.0 km East = 1.0·\hat i, in vector form

3) 1.6 km South = -1.6·\hat j, in vector form

Therefore, to find the final displacement, Δx, of the delivery truck, we add the individual displacements as follows;

Final displacement, Δd = 2.8·\hat j + 1.0·\hat i +(-1.6·\hat j) = 1.2·\hat j + 1.0·\hat i

Final displacement, = 1.0·\hat i + 1.2·\hat j

Where;

Δx = The displacement in the x-direction = 1.0·\hat i

Δy = The displacement in the y-direction = 1.2·\hat j

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector is given as follows

\left | d \right | = √((Δx)² + (Δy)²) = √(1² + 1.2²) ≈ 1.6 (To the nearest tenth)

The magnitude of the resultant displacement vector ≈ 1.6 km

The direction of the resultant vector is positive for both the east and north direction, therefore, the direction of the resultant vector = NE

Therefore, the resultant displacement of the delivery truck is approximately 1.6 km, NE from the origin.

A metal rod 80cm long lengthens by 0.090cm when its temperature rises by 93.6$^o$C. What is the linear expansivity of the metal
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: (b)0.000012/k

Explanation:

The linear expansion of the metal rod is given by

\Delta L= L_0 \alpha \Delta T

where

\Delta L=0.090 cm is the linear expansion

L_0 = 80 cm is the initial length of the rod

\alpha is the linear expansivity

\Delta T=93.6^{\circ}C=93.6 K is the increase in temperature

By re-arranging the equation, we find the linear expansivity:

\alpha = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0 \Delta T}=\frac{0.090 cm}{(80 cm)(93.6K)}=0.000012 K^{-1}
