What examples can you find in your home that are examples of kinetic and potential energy?

Kinetic and potential are not only found in the complicated things but it also appears to be in everyone's everyday lives. Potential energy; the pressure in the unopened soda in your fridge and compressed spring in your mattress. Kinetic energy; rubber band being stretched and when moving your skateboard around your house.

HELP WITH THIS QUESTION PLEASE! What Factors Affect Climate?

harkovskaia [24]

Latitude, elevation, ocean currents, topography, and prevailing winds. There's probably a few others but these are the most important.

The kinetic energy of an object depends on what?

liraira [26]

It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth d and the other (lets call it l) is given by:

$l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft$

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section A at that point:

$A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}$

And the raising speed v of the water is given by:

$v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}$

where q is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

What causes dispersion of light?

AysviL [449]

Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.
