Does a falling rock have potential or kinetic energy

2 answers:

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

A ball of plasticine is released from rest at height of 2.2 m above the ground. After touching the ground, the plasticine ball c

Anna35 [415]

The magnitude of the acceleration of the ball while coming to rest is 477.43 m/s²

The direction of the acceleration of the ball is downwards

The given parameters

initial velocity of the ball, u = 0

height above the ground, h = 2.2 m

time of motion of the ball, t = 96 ms = 0.096 s

The magnitude of the acceleration of the ball while coming to rest is calculated as;

let the downwards direction of the acceleration be positive

$h = ut + 0.5 at^2\\\\h = 0 + 0.5at^2\\\\h = 0.5 at^2\\\\a = \frac{h}{0.5t^2} \\\\a = \frac{2.2}{0.5 \times 0.096^2} \\\\a = 477.43 \ m/s^2$

The direction of the acceleration of the ball is downwards

How does the gravity which pulls the moon and earth toward each other also affect the ocean?

slamgirl [31]

Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides. Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the material from which they are made.
