Does a falling rock have potential or kinetic energy

Physics
2 answers:
galben [10]3 years ago
5 0

A falling rock has both potential and kinetic energy. But since the rock is losing height and potential energy is proportional to height, the rock is losing potential energy and gaining kinetic energy due to the increasing speed downwards.

depends t what stage in the fall it is. If it is at the peak, it is fully potential. If it is in the middle, it has both. If it is at the bottom of the fall, it is completely kinetic

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

200 million years

Explanation:

The equation that describes the decay of a radioactive isotope is

N(t)=N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}}

where

N(t) is the amount of radioactive isotope left at time t

N_0 is the initial amount of isotope

t_{1/2} is the half-life of the sample

In this problem, the ratio between unstable isotope and daughter isotope is 1:15; this means that

\frac{N(t)}{N_0}=\frac{1}{16}

Because the "total proportion" of original sample was 1+15=16.

Also we know that the half-life is

t_{1/2}=50\cdot 10^6 y

So we can re-arrange the equation to find t, the age of the rock:

t=t_{1/2} log_{0.5}(\frac{N}{N_0})=(50\cdot 10^6)log_{0.5}(\frac{1}{16})=200\cdot 10^6 y

So, 200 million years.

1. Which one lived in Antarctica earlier, the labyrinthodont, the lystrosaurus, or the duck-billed dinosaur? Explain.
Nezavi [6.7K]
The labyrinthodont lived in Antarctica. It is a reptile and extinct amphibians subclass, known as the very first vertebrates to walk on land. In the mountains of Antarctica in the Transantarctic during the austral summer, in 1969-1970 bones of Lower Triassic vertebrates were excavated. It includes the labyrinthodont amphibian.

Explain how your battery works. (You may want to look at the Electric Current lesson) What are some possible materials you could
Lisa [10]

Answer:

A battery is made up of three parts. The Cathode (positive end +) , the Anode (negative end -) and the electrolyte. The electrolyte allows electrical charges to travel between the cathode and anode. This chemical reactions creates the flow of electricity supplying the electrical voltage potential to power a circuit.

Typical materials of a battery are as follows

- Anode most often is made of zinc

- Manganese dioxide acting as Cathode.

- the electrolyte between and inside contains ions

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

k = 9876 N/m

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that

initial total gravitational potential energy = final spring potential energy

so we have

mg(h + x) = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

also we know that maximum acceleration will be 5.3 g

so it is given as

a = \frac{k}{m} x

so we have

x = \frac{ma}{k} = \frac{5.3 mg}{k}

mg(h + \frac{5.3 mg}{k}) = \frac{1}{2}k(\frac{5.3mg}{k})^2

mg(h + \frac{5.3 mg}{k}) = \frac{14.045(mg)^2}{k}

h + \frac{5.3mg}{k} = \frac{14.045 mg}{k}

h = \frac{8.745mg}{k}

k = \frac{8.745 (1439)(9.81)}{12.5}

k = 9876 N/m
