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

Physics
2 answers:
balu736 [363]2 years ago
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

A piece of toast weighing 8 grams is flying through the air at 15
Ket [755]

The kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kinetic energy is the way to determine the energy released when an object is in motion. In other times, it can be the energy required to move any object and to make it in motion.

As the mass of the toast is given as 8 g and speed is given as 15 m/s, if we ignore the friction caused by air molecules. Then the kinetic energy is the product of mass and square of velocity.

K.E. = \frac{1}{2} × mass × v²

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{1000} \times 15

Since, the weight is given in grams , it needed to be converted into kg.

Kinetic energy = 0.06 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

Two hockey players have a total momentum of +200 kg x m/s before a collision (+ is to the right). After the collision, they move
Juliette [100K]

Total momentum after the collision: +200 kg m/s to the right

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the law of conservation of momentum, which states that for an isolated system (=no external forces acting on the system), the total momentum is conserved.

Mathematically,

p_i=p_f

where

p_i is the total momentum before the collision

p_f is the total momentum after the collision

In this problem, the system consists of two hockey players. Before the collision, their total momentum is

p_i = +200 kg m/s (to the right)

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum, their total momentum after the collision must be the same:

p_f = +200 kg m/s

And given that the sign is +, the direction is still the same, therefore to the right.

In hydrogen, the transition from level 2 to level 1 has a rest wavelength of 121.6 nm.1).Find the speed for a star in which this
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1). v = - 2960526m/s

2). Toward us

3). v = - 493421m/s

4). Toward us

5). v = 1480263m/s

6).  Away from us

7). v = 3207236m/s

8). Away from us

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest is 121.6 nm (\lambda_{0} = 121.6nm)

Redshift: \lambda_{measured} > \lambda_{0}

Blueshift: \lambda_{measured} < \lambda_{0}

Then, for this particular case it is gotten:

Star 1: \lambda_{measured} = 120.4nm

Star 2: \lambda_{measured} = 121.4nm

Star 3: \lambda_{measured} = 122.2nm

Star 4: \lambda_{measured} = 122.9nm

Star 1:

Blueshift: 120.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 2:

Blueshift: 121.4nm < 121.6nm

Toward us

Star 3:

Redshift: 122.2nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Star 4:

Redshift: 122.9nm > 121.6nm

Away from us

Due to that shift the velocity of the star can be determine by means of Doppler velocity.

v = c\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_{0}}  (1)

Where \Delta \lambda is the wavelength shift, \lambda_{0} is the wavelength at rest, v is the velocity of the source and c is the speed of light.

v = c(\frac{\lambda_{measured}- \lambda_{0}}{\lambda_{0}}) (2)

<em>Case for star 1 \lambda_{measured} = 120.4 nm:</em>

<em></em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{120.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 2960526m/s

Notice that the negative velocity means that is approaching to the observer.

<em>Case for star 2 \lambda_{measured} = 121.4 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{121.4nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = - 493421m/s

<em>Case for star 3 \lambda_{measured} = 122.2 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.2nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 1480263m/s

<em>Case for star 4 \lambda_{measured} = 122.9 nm:</em>

v = (3x10^{8}m/s)(\frac{122.9nm-121.6nm}{121.6nm})

v = 3207236m/s
