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

Physics

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

The ratio of the potential difference across a conductor to the current in the conductor is called
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The ratio of the potential difference across a metallic conductor to the current in the conductor is known as.

B. Resistance.

Explanation:

According to ohms law   " the current  passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference between the ends provided the temperature of the wire remains constant".

What is resistance ?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit

what is a resistor ?

a resistor is a n electric conductor which forms resistance to free flow of electric current, the resistance is measured in Ω

the kinetic energy of an object with mass m moving with a velocity of 5 m/s is 25 j what will be its kinetic energy when its vel
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

100 J, 225 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, the initial kinetic energy of the object is

K = 25 J

Then, the velocity is doubled, which means

v' = 2v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

K'=\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=4K

Therefore, the kinetic energy has quadrupled:

K' = 4(25)=100 J

Later, the velocity is tripled, which means

v'' = 3v

Therefore, the new kinetic energy will be

K''=\frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2 = 9(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)=9K

Therefore, the kinetic energy has increased by a factor of 9:

K' = 9(25)=225 J
