Answer:
When the ball is held motionless above the floor, the ball possesses only GPE energy.If the ball is dropped, its GPE energy decreases as it falls.If the ball is dropped, its KE energy increases as it falls.
Explanation:
If the ball is held motionless, then its kinetic energy is equal to zero, since kinetic energy depends on the velocity. And the ball is held above the ground, which means it possesses gravitational potential energy.
If the ball is dropped, its height will decrease, therefore its gravitational potential energy will decrease. Along the way, the ball will be in free fall, and therefore its velocity will increase, hence its kinetic energy.
Force of the kick or the balls velocity
What does "a 4-inch candle" mean ?
Is that the length of the candle or its diameter ?
The life of a candle depends on its length, its diameter, the
thickness and starting-length of its wick, the exact substance
of which it's composed ... the type of wax ... and the motions
of the air around it.
I'll always remember the candle shop I visited ... I don't remember
what I was doing in a candle shop, but I was there. There was a
little wax turkey up on a glass shelf, with a tiny tiny flame in the
middle of its back, so tiny that you could easily miss noticing it.
The little sign standing next to the little turkey on the shelf explained
that this was a Thanksgiving candle ... it was lit last Thanksgiving,
and would continue burning until NEXT Thanksgiving, roughly a year later !
Answer:
x = 0.81 m
Explanation:
given,
spring constant, k = 769 N/m
Potential energy of the spring = 250 J
distance of spring compression = ?
using conservation of energy
potential energy will equal to the spring energy
x² = 0.650
x = 0.81 m
Hence, the spring is compressed to 0.81 m
