potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

Answer:

Potential energy is the latent energy in an object at rest, and is one of two forms of energy. The other form, kinetic energy, is the energy expressed by an object in motion. The actual potential energy of an object depends on its position relative to other objects.

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a
seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m

(a) Acceleration, a=-4\ m/s^2

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, a=-8\ m/s^2

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

 1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

    di = fd_o / d_o - f

  = (10)(40) / 40-10

 = 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

 di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be  real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 =  ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.
