A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and
is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem,
, so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
Answer:
If you know that that free fall acceleration g on the Moon is about 6 times less than on the Earth, it gives you the answer: on the Moon the same pendulum will have a period about √6≈2.45 longer than on the Earth.
1. Ca → Element
2. Proton → positive
3. H2O → compound
4. Fission → nuclear decay
5. Fusion → Nuclear synthesis
6. η → Neutron
7. e → electron
8. Atomic number → no of protons in nucleus.
Explanation
1. Ca (Calcium):
Calcium is an element with the atomic number of 20. It is an alkaline earth metal. The 99% of calcium is found in our bodies, in bones, teeth.
2. Proton:
Proton is a subatomic particle and it holds the positive charge. Proton is present in the nucleus of the atom.
3. H2O (water):
Water is a chemical compound and it's chemical formula is H2O. It's called compound as it contains 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms bonded together through the covalent bond.
4. Fission:
Fission is a process in which large massive unstable nucleus splits into the smaller, less heavier and stable nuclei. The energy is re;eased in the form of radiations during this process. It's called as the radioactive decay.
5. Fusion:
Fusion is opposite of the fission reaction. As in this case the two nuclei combines to form a single large nucleus. That's why it is a nuclear synthesis process.
6. η neutron:
Neutron is a subatomic particle and it is a neutral particle which is located inside the nucleus. n is a symbol used for the neutron.
7. e Electron:
The symbol for electron is e. It's a subatomic particle with negative charge. It is found in the orbits around the nucleus.
8. Atomic Number:
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. IT is represented by Z.
Answer:
The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J
Explanation:
The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries
In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table
Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are
Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm
Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm
The total potential energy at point A is
Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm
which gives per unit mass
PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J
Answer:
Alpha radiation is the name for the emission of an alpha particle in fact an helium nuclei, beta radiation is the emission of electrons or positrons , and gamma radiation is the term used for the emission of energetic photons.
