What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Difference Between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy. Energy implies as the object's capability to perform work. ... While kinetic energy is the energy which an object contains because of a particular motion. On the other hand, potential energy is the stored energy, because of its state of rest.

Snakes and lizards are rarely found near polar environment explain why
Novosadov [1.4K]
Reptiles, such as snakes and lizards, are cold-blooded animals. This means that they do not have the ability to control their body heat. For this reason, they often lay out in the sun to warm up. If their enviornent is cold they obtain that body temperature. They are very slow in colder environments.In cold weather these animals have a very difficult time moving because their muscles are very cold. Without heat in their environment, they cannot warm them up.

Two people, one of mass 85 kg and the other of mass 50 kg, sit in a rowboat of mass 90 kg. With the boat initially at rest, the
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

0.11m

Explanation:

let's assume the boat is of uniform construction

Ignoring friction losses

Also assume the origin is at the end of the boat originally with the heavier person

the center of mass of the whole system will not change relative to the water when the two swap ends

Originally, the center of mass is

85[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 50[3.5] / (85 + 90 + 50) = 1.14m from the origin

after the swap, the center of mass is

50[0] + 90[3.5/2] + 85[3.5] / (85 + 90+ 50) = 1.030m from the origin

The center of mass has shifted

1.14-1.030 = 0.11m

as no external force acted on the system, the center of mass relative to the water will not change. The boat will therefore shift towards the end where the heavier person originally sat

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! More science questions coming soon!!
Naily [24]

Answer:

1.) A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) C

Both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) A, B and C

Explanation:

1.) SO2 + ___ H2 ----------> _____ S + _______H2O

Looking at above equation, we have one molecule of surfur at the right hand side (RHS), and one molecule of surfur at the left hand side (LHS).

Two atoms of hydrogen and both RHS and LHS

But oxygen is not balanced. We have two atoms of oxygen at the RHS while having one at the LHS.

So let's make oxygen 2 atoms at LHS by adding 2 to water molecules and hydrogen molecules at the RHS.

SO2 + ___ 2H2 ----------> _____ S + _______2H2O

The correct answer is A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both magnetic force and gravitational force obey inverse square law with distance. They are not directly proportional but inversely proportional to the square distance. B is the correct answer because Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) Light waves are transverse waves which can travel through a vacuum without a medium while sound waves are longitudinal waves which cannot travel through vacuum without a medium. But both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) If an object is slowing down, due to conservation of energy,

The potential energy could be increasing, like a ball thrown into the air.

The kinetic energy could be lost to friction or air resistance.

The ball could be returning to its natural resting state.

LOTS OF POINTSA rocket of mass 40 000 kg takes off and flies to a height of 2.5 km as its engines produce 500 000 N of thrust.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

i) E = 269 [MJ]    ii)v = 116 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem that encompasses the work and principle of energy conservation.

In this way, we establish the equation for the principle of conservation and energy.

i)

E_{k1}+W_{1-2}=E_{k2}\\where:\\E_{k1}= kinetic energy at moment 1\\W_{1-2}= work between moments 1 and 2.\\E_{k2}= kinetic energy at moment 2.

W_{1-2}= (F*d) - (m*g*h)\\W_{1-2}=(500000*2.5*10^3)-(40000*9.81*2.5*10^3)\\W_{1-2}= 269*10^6[J] or 269 [MJ]

At that point the speed 1 is equal to zero, since the maximum height achieved was 2.5 [km]. So this calculated work corresponds to the energy of the rocket.

Er = 269*10^6[J]

ii ) With the energy calculated at the previous point, we can calculate the speed developed.

E_{k2}=0.5*m*v^2\\269*10^6=0.5*40000*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{269*10^6}{0.5*40000} }\\ v=116[m/s]
