What happens to the mechanical energy of an apple as it falls from a tree?

Physics
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When the apple falls from the tree, it has some gravitational potential energy due to its height. Now, When it starts falling, the Gravitation Potential energy will starts converting into the Kinetic Energy. When the apple is about to strikes the ground, the Gravitational Potential energy have been converted into the Kinetic Energy.

A grindstone of radius 4.0 m is initially spinning with an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s. The angular speed is then increased to 12
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: 6.36

Explanation:

Given

Radius of grindstone, r = 4 m

Initial angular speed of grindstone, w(i) = 8 rad/s

Final angular speed of the grindstone, w(f) = 12 rad/s

Time used, t = 4 s

Angular acceleration of the grinder,

α = Δw / t

α = w(f) - w(i) / t

α = (12 - 8) / 4

α = 4/4 = 1 rad/s²

Number of complete revolution in 4s =

Δθ = w(i).t + 1/2.α.t²

Δθ = 8 * 4 + 1/2 * 1 * 4²

Δθ = 32 + 1/2 * 16

Δθ = 32 + 8

Δθ = 40 rad/s

40 rad/s = 40/2π rpm = 6.36 rpm

Therefore, the grindstone does 6.36 revolutions during the 4 s interval

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.

A certain capacitor, in series with a resistor, is being charged. At the end of 10 ms its charge is half the final value. The ti
vichka [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the expression of charge per unit of time in a capacitor with a given resistance. Mathematically said expression is given as

q(t) = e^{-\frac{t}{(R*C)}}

Here,

q = Charge

t = Time

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

When the charge reach its half value it has passed 10ms, then the equation is,

\frac{1}{2}*q_{final} = e^{-\frac{0.01}{(R*C)}}

Ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{0.01}{RC}

- RC = \frac{0.01}{Ln(1/2)}

RC = 0.014s

We know that RC is equal to the time constant, then

T = RC  = 0.014s = 14ms

Therefore the time constant for the process is about 14ms

When an alkali metal is involved in a chemical reaction with a nonmetal, what charge will its atoms most likely form? 1- 2- 2+ 1
seraphim [82]

Answer:

+1 ion

Explanation:

Alkali metals are metals that are found in Group I of the periodic table. Their electronic configuration is such that their valence shell in grounds state is always holding only one electron which they always lose when reacting with non-metals. A loss in an electron makes the atom electrically imbalanced and hence becoming a +1 ion.
