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

Physics
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
5 0
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.

How do mass and distance affect gravity?
elixir [45]
A gravitational force between objects depends on two things- their masses and the distance between them. So the greater the mass and the less distance there is, the more gravitational force and is the mass is less and the distance is great the gravitational force is weak

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
slavikrds [6]

Answer: A.

As a diver rises, the pressure on their body decreases which allows the volume of the gas to decrease.

Explanation:

The problem is that a diver, experiences an increased pressure of water compresses nitrogen and more of it dissolves into the body. Just as there is a natural nitrogen saturation point at the surface, there are saturation points under water. Those depend on the depth, the type of body tissue involved, and also how long a diver is exposed to the extra pressure. The deeper a diver go, the more nitrogen the body absorbs.

The problem is getting rid of the nitrogen once you ascend again. As the pressure diminishes, nitrogen starts dissolving out of the tissues of the diver's body, a process called "off-gassing." That results in tiny nitrogen bubbles that then get carried to the lungs and breathed out. However, if there is too much nitrogen and/or it is released too quickly, small bubbles can combine to form larger bubbles, and those can do damage to the body, anything from minor discomforts all the way to major problems and even death.

Consider a particle on which several forces act, one of which is known to be constant in time: Fi = 3.00 i +4.00 ) N. As a resul
Leviafan [203]

Given that.

F=3•i+4•j

And it from point (0,0)m to (5,6)m

dx=final position - initial position

dx=(5,6)-(0,0)

dx=(5,6)m

dx=5•i +6•j

Work done by the force is give by

W = F•dx

W=F•dx

Note that i•i=j•j=1 and i•j=j•i=0

Then,

W=(3i+4j)•(5i+6j)

Therefore,

W=3i•(5i+6j)+4j•(5i+6j)

W=15i•i+18i•j+20j•i+24j•j

W=15+0+0+24

W=39J

Then the work done by the force is 39 Joules

7. A Candle is placed 4 cm in front of a convex lens. The image of the candle is focused on a sheet of paper that is exactly 10
velikii [3]

Answer:

Magnification m is 2.5cm

Explanation:

This problem bothers on lenses

Given data

Object distance u= 4cm

Height of object v= 10 cm

The problem is quite straightforward seeing that object and image distances are given

We know that the magnification

m= size of image/size of object

m= v/u= 10/4 = 2. 5cm

What is a convex lens

A convex lens is a type of lens that has the centre thicker than the ends, the thickness at the centre makes the lens surface to curve outward. Convex lens causes close light rays of light to converge at a point after refraction.

How well would a piece of hot metal heat the cool water ?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: When the hot metal washers are placed in the room temperature water, the faster-moving metal atoms hit the slower-moving water molecules and make the water molecules move a little faster. This causes the temperature of the water to increase.
