What happens to an object's gravitational potential energy as it falls from some height?​

Physics
1 answer:
saveliy_v [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

As an object falls from some height, the gravitational potential energy of the object decreases.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

The potential energy is mathematically expressed as:

   Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

So, potential energy is directly proportional to mass and height.

The higher the mass and height, the more the potential energy.

Llana [10]

Answer:

2.96 cm

Explanation:

By Hook's law

Force(F) = Spring constant(k) × Extension(d)

 F = k × d

Force is the weight of the object, F = W = mg

So we get, mg = kd ⇒ m ∝ d

                                   2.5 ∝ 1.68  --------------(1)

                                   4.4 ∝ d'      --------------(2)

From (1) & (2),     4.4/2.5 = d'/1.68

                                   d' = 2.96 cm ⇒ the required extension.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

c. 2 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by:

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the transverse wave in this problem, we have:

f = 4 Hz is the frequency

\lambda=0.5 m is the wavelength

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we find the speed of the wave:

v=(4 Hz)(0.5 m)=2 m/s
