What is an example illustrating gravitational potential energy transforming into kinetic energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Bess [88]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. a hammer dropped off a roof accelerates as it falls.

Explanation:

The example that illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into kinetic energy is a hammer dropped off a roof accelerating as it falls.

 Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

A hammer held up at roof level has a measure of gravitational potential energy.

As it drops and begins to accelerate, the energy is converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

The acceleration due to gravity causes the body to move.

So, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

an athlete whirls a 7.00 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.3 m chain in a horizontal circle the hammer moves at the rate of 1.0 r
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 1.3 m/s²

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the motion of a body that transverse a circular path.

Data

mass = 7 kg

radius = r = 1.3 m

angular rate = w = 1.0 rev/s

centripetal acceleration = a = ?

Formula

a = rw²

Substitution

a = (1.3)(1)²

Simplification and result

a = 1.3 m/s²

You drop a rock off the top of a building. It takes 3.4 s to hit the ground. What is the velocity at impact (final velocity)? I
SCORPION-xisa [38]
-- The acceleration of gravity (on Earth) is 9.8 m/s².

-- That means that during every second an object falls,
    it adds 9.8 m/s of speed.

Now !    If it adds 9.8 m/s of speed every second, then
              how fast is it falling at the end of  3.4 seconds ?

Which of the following is the most likely end for a star that formed from a very small nebular cloud? . . Black hole . . Planeta
vekshin1
The answer for this question would be Planetary Nebula.

Black holes are created when the star core has a mass of more than 2.5 times of the Sun. In Supernova, fo<span>r stars with mass of more than 8 times the mass of the Sun, death is signalled by a gigantic explosion: during the first second it can be as bright as a whole galaxy with hundreds of billions of stars. In Red Giants, it is </span>due to explosion of average stars like the Sun. Lastly, in Planetary Nebula, f<span>or small stars (that is less than 8 times the mass of the Sun), at the end of the Red Giant phase, the star can’t contract enough to generate the temperatures needed for further nuclear fusion.</span>
