How does a catapult relate to potential and elastic energy? Explanation too and no links please!

Physics
1 answer:
victus00 [196]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The catapult works when the potential energy stored in a stretched rubber band is converted to kinetic energy when it snaps back to its loose shape, moving the catapult arm—and the projectile! ... The kinetic energy of the catapult will give the projectile a force moving up and away from the catapult.

oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775° 

 

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N 

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

<span>Work = 980 J </span>

Conduction transfers Thermal energy by
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.
