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

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
slega [8]
We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
dI =r^2*dm
where dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from -a/2 to a/2
The moment of inertia is
I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3) (from (-a/2) toI=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12 (a/2))

Answer:

ω = 0.1 rad/s

v = 0.002 m/s

Explanation:

The angular velcoity of the second hand of the clock can be found by:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = Angular Speed

θ = Angular Displacement

t = time taken

Now, for one complete revolution of second hand of the clock:

θ = 2π rad

t = 60 s

Therefore,

ω = 2π rad/60 s

<u>ω = 0.1 rad/s</u>

Now, for the linear speed (V):

V = rω

where,

V = Linear Speed of Second Hand = ?

r = radius = length of second hand = 0.02 m

Therefore,

V = (0.02 m)(0.1 rad/s)

<u>V = 0.002 m/s</u>

Why does a bouncing ball rise to a lower height with each bounce? What energy conversion is taking place?
dsp73
<span>So we want to know why the does a bouncing ball rise to a lower height with each bounce. So lets say the ball is first on some height h. There it has potential energy Ep=m*g*h. Then as the ball starts falling to the ground the energy converts to kinetic energy Ek=(1/2)*m*v^2. When the ball falls to the ground, the kinetic energy transforms to elastic energy because the ball deforms as it hits the ground and some small quantity of heat. The heat goes to the air and to the ground so it gets removed from the system. So there is less energy in the system to be converted back to kinetic energy as the ball starts to rise in height again. Thats why the ball is not able to get bact to the same height as it started from. </span>
