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

Physics
2 answers:
balu736 [363]2 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 0.683 kg mass moves in SHM at the end of a spring. It takes 1.41 s to move from the position with the spring fully extended to
dsp73

Answer:

Spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m          

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 0.683 kg

Time taken to complete one oscillation is given T = 1.41 sec

We have to find the spring constant of the spring

From spring mass system time period is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}, here m is mass and K is spring constant

So 1.41=2\times 3.14\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

0.2245=\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

Squaring both side

0.0504=\frac{0.4664}{K}

K=9.255N/m

So spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.

A string is wound tightly around a fixed pulley having a radius of 5.0 cm. as the string is pulled, the pulley rotates without a
lubasha [3.4K]
The angular speed can be solve using the formula:
w = v / r
where w is the angular speed
v is the linear velocity
r is the radius of the object

w = ( 5 m / s ) / ( 5 cm ) ( 1 m / 100 cm )
w = 100 per second
