Answer:

As r decreases, we lose gravitational potential energy - in other words, U G U_G UGU, start subscript, G, end subscript becomes more negative. Because energy is conserved, the velocity must increase, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

During a typical school day all forms of eneergy is being utilised and also transfer of energy takes place from one form to another.

Explanation:

Chemical energy- A bunsen burner burning a beaker filled with water.

Heat energy- The water in the beaker absorbing the heat from the burner.

Electrical energy- Running Fans and lights in a classroom by switches.

Solar energy- Solar energy harnessed by solar panels to run the fans and lights by converting it into electrical energy.

Potential energy- A ball being held by a student at a certain height possesses energy due to gravity.

Kinetic energy- The same ball being left by the boy from a certain height produces kinetic energy

A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25

solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

$k=\frac {F}{x}$

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

$k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m$

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

A flow is isentropically expanded to supersonic speeds in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The reservoir and exit pressures are 1.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Ae/A* = 1.115

Explanation:

Let the reservoir pressure be $p_0$

Let the exit pressure be $p_e$

Ratio of reservoir pressure and exit pressure

$\frac{p_o}{p_e} = \frac{1}{0.3143}$

= 3.182

For the above value of pressure ratio

Obtain the area ratio from the isentropic flow table

Ae/A* = 1.115

The value of pressure ratio is Ae/A* = 1.115
