Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

AveGali [126]
No, the car travels 1 metre in 5s at the start which is 0.2m/s, while the second meter it travels one metre in 8 seconds which is 0.125 m/s, the speed changes therefore it is not constant during the two metres the car travels

To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world's oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean w
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

Explanation:

Thermal energy can be calculated with  

      Q = m c_{e} ΔT

in this case it indicates that we approximate seawater to pure water with  

    c_{e} = 4186 J/ kg K  

with the density

    ρ = m / V  

    m = ρ V  

    V = L³  

we substitute  

   m = ρ L³  

   Q = ρ L3 c_{e} ΔT

calculate  

   Q = 1000 (3 103) 3 4186 4  

   Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J
