Describe the work performed by a ski lift in terms of kinetic and gravitational potential energy

2 answers:

7 0

Explanation : When the lift falls, then the gravitational energy changed into the kinetic energy. Gravitational potential is associated with the mass of the lift and its position. When lift starts from rest , the mechanical energy of the lift change in the form of potential energy.

When the lift down than the potential energy lost and kinetic energy is gained. Lift loses height and gains speed.

The work is performed by the lift, when lift covers the distance against the gravitational force.

In order to understand how kinetic and potential energy works in an ski lift it is necessary to know its terms

Potential energy is the energy that a body located from its height above the ground has

Kinetic energy is the energy of a body that is in motion

for the ski lift:

Kinetic Energy: When the ski lift moves from floor to floor

Potential Energy: When the ski lift is standing on the floor and people enter.

Gravitational energy: the chairlift uses the force of gravity to lower and change from potential energy to kinetic energy, with its own weight

I hope its help you

Compare the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of a circular current loop of radius 30 mm with the magnitude of the m

NISA [10]

Answer:

Ratio of magnetic field will be $\frac{B}{B'}=0.0055$

Explanation:

We have given radius of the loop r = 30 mm = 0.03 m

We know that magnetic field at the center of the loop is given by

$B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2r}$ ---------eqn 1

Number of turns in the solenoid is given as n = 3 turn per mm = 3000 turn per meter

We know that magnetic field due to solenoid is given by

$B'=n\mu _0i$ -------------eqn 2

Now dividing eqn 1 by eqn 2

$\frac{B}{B'}=\frac{\frac{\mu _0i}{2r}}{\mu _0ni}=\frac{1}{2nr}=\frac{1}{2\times 3000\times 0.03}=0.0055$

icang [17]

Answer:

1) the capacitance of the capacitor increases. This is due to the induction of opposite charges on the two surfaces of the dielectric by the plate, this increased the charge in the field, from C =Q/v, it is seen that capacitance C will increase with increase in Q since v is constant.

2) the electric field intensity will also increase with increase in electric charges provided plate separation d remains constant.
