Answer: it depends potential energy is the build up of kinetic energy like going to the top of a roller coaster. kintic is the use of the potential energy like going down the roller coaster so depends how much energy one another give :)

Hope this helps you out :)

Answer:

Explanation:

The question has no set meaning. Suppose you take a rock to the top of a building. You put the rock over the edge of the building. You don't drop it yet. The potential energy is greatest for the rock under this condition. The kinetic energy is 0 because the rock is not moving.

Now you let the rock go. As it falls, it looses distance to the ground which means that the Potential energy is nearing 0. The Kinetic energy is picking up because the rock is moving faster.

At the bottom of the rock's journey just before it hits the ground, the KE is at a maximum and the PE is nearly 0.

A child is playing on a swing. As long as he does not swing too high the time it takes him to complete one full oscillation will
Aleks [24]

Answer:

We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period  (time for a complete swing) is defined as:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where:

pi = 3.14

L = length of the pendulum

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.

Then the period is independent of:

The mass of the child

The initial angle

Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.

In doing a load of clothes, a clothes dryer uses 16 A of current at 240 V for 45 min. A personal computer, in contrast, uses 2.7
jasenka [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current of clothes dryer, I = 16 A

Voltage, V = 240 V

Time, t = 45 min = 2700 s

Current of personal computer, I' = 2.7 A

Voltage, V' = 120 C

Energy used by clothes dryer is given by :

E=I^2Rt\\\\E=IVt\\\\E=16\times 240\times 2700\\E=1.03\times 10^7\ J

Let t' is the time for this computer to "surf" the internet. Again using formula of energy used as :

E=I'V't'\\\\t'=\dfrac{E}{I'V'}\\\\t'=\dfrac{1.03\times 10^7}{2.7\times 120}\\\\t'=31790.12\ s\\\\t'=8.83\ h

So, for 8.83 hours you could use this computer to "surf" the internet.

Albedo is how much sunlight reflects off the surface of the Earth. More albedo could mean a number of things. Higher temps, more photochemical smog, it all depends on where the albedo is occurring.

Chegg ) Alice owns 20 grams of a radioactive isotope that has a half-life of ln(4) years. (a) Find an equation for the mass m(t)
stepladder [879]

Answer:

m(t)=20e^{-0.5t}

Explanation:

Given:

Initial mass of isotope (m₀) = 20 g

Half life of the isotope (t_{1/2}) = (ln 4) years

The general form for the radioactive decay of a radioactive isotope is given as:

m(t)=m_0e^{-kt}

Where,

m(t)\to mass\ after\ 't'\ years\\t\to years\ passed\\k\to rate\ of\ decay\ per\ year

So, the equation is: m(t)=20e^{-kt}

At half-life, the mass is reduced to half of the initial value.

So, at t=t_{1/2},m(t)=\frac{m_0}{2}. Plug in these values and solve for 'k'. This gives,

\frac{m_0}{2}=m_0e^{-k\times\ln 4}\\\\0.5=e^{-k\times\ln 4}\\\\Taking\ natural\ log\ on\ both\ sides,we\ get:\\\\\ln(0.5)=-k\times \ln 4\\\\k=\frac{\ln 0.5}{-\ln 4}=0.5

Hence, the equation for the mass remaining is given as:

m(t)=20e^{-0.5t}
