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

Physics

balu736 [363]3 years ago

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 force F→=(cx-3.00x2)iˆ acts on a particle as the particle moves along an x axis, with F→ in newtons, x in meters, and c a cons
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done = ∫Fdx

= ∫(cx-3.00x²)   dx

[ c x² / 2 - 3 x³ / 3 ]₀²

= change in kinetic energy

= 11-20

= - 9 J

[ c x² / 2 -  x³   ]₀² = - 9

c x 2² / 2 - 2³ = -9

2c - 8 = -9

2c = -1

c = - 1/2

What is the speed of a truck that travels 10 i’m in 10 minutes ?
fiasKO [112]

10km/10min is a legitimate speed. So is meters/sec, km/hour (kph), etc.  

Kph is very common for vehicles:  

10 km/10 min (60 min/hr) = 60 kph

Which of the following statements are true?
inessss [21]

Answer:

a. If an object's speed is constant, then its acceleration must be zero.

FALSE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}

so we can not say anything about the acceleration when speed is given to as and no information is given about velocity

b. If an object's acceleration is zero, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant and hence speed is also constant

c. If an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must be constant.

TRUE

Since velocity is constant then it shows that its magnitude and direction both are constant so its speed is also constant.

d. If an object's acceleration is zero, its velocity must be constant.

TRUE

As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{d\vec v}{dt}

Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant

e. If an object's speed is constant, then its velocity must be constant.

FALSE

Speed is just the magnitude so we can not say about its direction and hence if speed is constant then velocity may or may not change
