-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.
If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy. So the <em>kinetic energy</em> in the system <em>must</em> <em>decrease</em>.
In fact, this isn't even a "result". The kinetic energy has to decrease <em><u>before</u></em> the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.
If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out. If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.
A physical quantity is something which can be measured and whose measurement is necessary because all the laws of physics are given in terms of these physical quantities. The examples of physical quantity are mass, length, time, temperature, electric current, velocity , acceleration, force, work, weight,power, energy etc.
There are some quantities which cannot be measured and hence are not classified as physical quantities , for example, love, honesty, hatred etc
Thus a physical quantity is a quantity which can be measured.
1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s
The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration 
directed downward, initial vertical position 
, and initial vertical velocity 
. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:
substituting, we find
2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m
We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of
In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting 
with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:
Which means that the heigth of the packet was
Answer:
<em> The distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
Explanation:
Hook's Law
From Hook's law, the potential energy stored in a stretched spring
E = 1/2ke² ......................... Equation 1
making e the subject of the equation,
e = √(2E/k)........................ Equation 2
Where E = potential Energy of the stretched spring, k = elastic constant of the spring, e = extension.
Given: k = 450 N/m, e = 12 cm = 0.12 m.
E = 1/2(450)(0.12)²
E = 225(0.12)²
E = 3.24 J.
When the potential energy is doubled,
I.e E = 2×3.24
E = 6.48 J.
Substituting into equation 2,
e = √(2×6.48/450)
e = √0.0288
e = 0.1697 m
<em>e = 16.97 cm</em>
<em>Thus the distance required = 16.97 cm</em>
It is number 3 because I know it is
