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

What is the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet of a 0.1 cm diameter? Assume that air is surrounding this droplet a
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the honey droplet, D = 0.1 cm

radius of the honey droplet, R = 0.05 cm = 0.0005 m

surface tension of honey, γ = 0.052 N/m

Apply Laplace's law for a spherical membrane with two surfaces

Gauge pressure =  P₁ - P₀ = 2 (2γ / r)

Where;

P₀ is the atmospheric pressure

Gauge pressure = 4γ / r

Gauge pressure = 4 (0.052) / (0.0005)

Gauge pressure = 416 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa

Jeff is a landscaping contractor and lifts a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging a board under the rock. Jeff weighs 150 pounds
jonny [76]

Answer: 4

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted  by the object to the force applied to do work on it.

Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.

Mechanical advantage, M.A.=\frac{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}rock}{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}Jeff}=\frac{600 pounds}{150 pounds}=4.

Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.

An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.
velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .

A shell of mass m and speed v explodes into two identical fragments. If the shell was moving horizontally (the positive x direct
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of original shell , m .

Velocity of shell , + v .

Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e  \dfrac{m}{2} .

Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .

Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .

So , Final momentum = Initial momentum

mv=\dfrac{mv}{2}+\dfrac{mu}{2}\\\\u=v

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

The mass of Earth is 5.972 x 1024 kg and its orbital radius is an average of 1.496 x 1011 m. Calculate its linear momentum, give
Anna007 [38]

Answer: its linear momentum is 1.78 × 10²⁹ kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of Earth m =  5.972 x 10²⁴ kg

radius r = 1.496 x 10¹¹ m

period t = 3.15 x 10⁷ s

now we know that Earth rotates in a circular path so the distance travelled per rotation is;

d = 2πr we substitute

d = 2π × 1.496 x 10¹¹ m

= 9.4 × 10¹¹ m

Now formula for speed v is;

v = d/t

we substitute

v = 9.4 × 10¹¹ m / 3.15 x 10⁷ s

v = 2.98 × 10⁴ m/s

now we determine the linear momentum p

linear momentum p = mv

we substitute

p = (5.972 x 10²⁴ kg) × (2.98 × 10⁴ m/s)

p = 1.78 × 10²⁹ kg.m/s

Therefore its linear momentum is 1.78 × 10²⁹ kg.m/s
