Potential energy is stored energy. For example, if a bowling ball is on top of a giant hill, we say it has potential energy because it has the potential to do work which is to roll down the hill.

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement so once that ball rolls down that hill, that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Hey there!

Potential energy and kinetic energy are the two main groups of energy when it comes to all of that. Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is released.

For example, potential energy is when you hold a ball higher than the ground, and kinetic energy is when you release the ball.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)

A tennis ball connected to a string is spun around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.16

ycow [4]

We assign the variables: T as tension and x the angle of the string
The centripetal acceleration is expressed as v²/r=4.87²/0.9 and (0.163x4.87²)/0.9 = T+0.163gcosx, giving T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosx.

(1)At the bottom of the circle x=π and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – .163*9.8cosπ=5.893N. 
(2)Here x=π/2 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosπ/2=4.295N. 
(3)Here x=0 and T=(0.163x4.87²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cos0=2.698N. 
(4)We have T=(0.163v²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8cosx.

This minimum v is obtained when T=0 and v verifies (0.163xv²)/0.9 – 0.163x9.8=0, resulting to v=2.970 m/s.

An inductor has inductance of 0.260 H and carries a current that is decreasing at a uniform rate of 18.0 mA/s.

nignag [31]

Answer:

The self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.

Explanation:

The emf in the inductor is given by:

$\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt}$

Where:

dI/dt: is the decreasing current's rate change = -18.0 mA/s (the minus sign is because the current is decreasing)

L: is the inductance = 0.260 H

So, the emf is:

$\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt} = -0.260 H*(-18.0 \cdot 10^{-3} A/s) = 4.68 \cdot 10^{-3} V$

Therefore, the self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.

I hope it helps you!

If there is a gravitational force between all objects, why do we not feel or observe it?

Dmitry [639]

We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.

21) A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest

zlopas [31]

Answer:

-22,150 N

Explanation:

When the youngster jumps off the platform, during the fall her initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, we can write:

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mu^2$
