<u>Note that</u>:
The gravitational potential energy =
where m: is the mass, g: the acceleration due to the gravity and h is the height from the earth surface
Then, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by increasing the mass or the height from the earth surface
<u>In our question</u>, we can increase the gravitational potential energy by
<u>A) Strap a boulder to the car so that it wights more.</u>
. . . 'protect' its domestic steel industry, by
increasing the price of imported steel.
Speed= Distance/Time
Distance=24m
Time= 5seconds
Speed= 24/5= 4.8m/s
Answer:
<em>v = 381 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Linear Speed</u>
The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:
Where:
x = Distance traveled
t = Time needed to travel x
We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.
The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:
Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:
The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:
The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:
Thus the time is:
t = 0.0016 s
Thus the speed of the bullet is:
v = 381 m/s
I'm trying to think of something that will give you the biggest bang for your buck, meaning what would give you the most number of energy transformations in their use.
Wind energy uses those great big windmills that transform wind into electrical energy. The wind is caused by the sun (which has nuclear energy, light energy and the earth's rotation which is not related to the sun but is mechanical energy). To start with you use mechanical energy. That energy drives a generator that stores it's energy in a battery. You have changed electrical energy into chemical energy. The batteries, on a calm day take over and provide electrical energy that must be transported to the consumers using it. Proponents of wind energy say that it is pollution free. It's not exactly true. The batteries used have to be manufactured (not a clean industry) and when they wear out, they pollute the environment if they cannot be recharged with new battery plates and acid (chemical).
Added to which wind energy is very noisy (sound energy) which has been linked to serious diseases.
