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

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

$Potential\ Energy=Work \ Done=2.301*10^{-18} J$

Work done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is $2.301*10^{-18} Joules$

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by:

U=Q*V

where:

Q is the charge

V is the potential difference

Potential Difference=V= $\frac{kq}{r}$

So,

$Potential\ Energy=\frac{Qkq}{r} \\Q=q\\Potential\ Energy=\frac{kq^2}{r}$

Where:

k is Coulomb Constant= $8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

q is the charge on electron= $-1.6*10^-19 C$

r is the distance= $3.0*10^{-10}m$

For 3 Electrons Potential Energy or work Done is:

$Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{kq^2}{r}$

$Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{(8.99*10^9)(-1.6*10^{-19})^2}{3*10^{-10}}\\Potential\ Energy=2.301*10^{-18} J$

Work done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is $2.301*10^{-18} Joules$

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Momentum is conserved.

Explanation:

-Momentum is conserved.

-By Newton's third law (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.)-the change in momentum of gases in one direction must be balanced by an equal change in momentum of the spacecraft in the opposite direction.

When the magnets are released and begin to move, the magnetic force changes potential energy into kinetic energy;<u> option D</u>

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

Magnetic force can be defined as the force of attraction or repulsion that is felt or produced between the magnetic poles and electrically charged moving particles.

Magnetic force is the force that exists due to the attractio or repulsion of objects place around the region of space where a maget exerts its force.

When a magnet is released ai a system of magnets and allowed to move it increases the kinetic eergy of the system by converting potential energy to kinetic energy.
