Why is there a difference between potential and kinetic energy?

1 answer:

3 0

Potential energy is stored energy because it has the potential to do something which laters turns into kinetic energy which is the moving energy.

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

A 97.6-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =

Mila [183]

Answer:

$v=6.65m/sec$

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that:

Mass $m=97.6$

Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu k=0.555$

Generally the equation for Frictional force is mathematically given by

$F=\mu mg$

$F=0.555*97.6*9.8$

$F=531.388N$

Generally the Newton's equation for Acceleration due to Friction force is mathematically given by

$a_f=-\mu g$

$a_f=-0.555 *9.81$

$a_f=-54455m/sec^2$

Therefore

$v=u-at$

$v=0+5.45*1.22$

$v=6.65m/sec$
