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.

The "steam" above a freshly made cup of instant coffee is really water vapor droplets condensing after evaporating from the hot
KiRa [710]

Answer:

T_{f} = 85.7 ° C

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the calorimetry heat ratios, let's start with the heat lost by the evaporation of coffee, since it changes from liquid to vapor state

      Q₁ = m L

Where m is the evaporated mass (m = 2.00 103-3kg) and L is 2.26 106 J / kg, where we use the latent heat of the water

     Q₁ = 2.00 10⁻³ 2.26 10⁶

     Q1 = 4.52 10³ J

Now the heat of coffee in the cup, which does not change state is

     Q coffee = M c_{e} ( T_{f} -T_{i})

Since the only form of energy transfer is terminated, the heat transferred is equal to the evaporated heat

    Qc = - Q₁

    M ce (T_{f} -T_{i}) = - Q₁

The coffee dough left in the cup after evaporation is

    M = 250 -2 = 248 g = 0.248 kg

   T_{f} -Ti = -Q1 / M c_{e}

   T_{f} = Ti - Q1 / M c_{e}

Since coffee is essentially water, let's use the specific heat of water,

    c_{e}= 4186 J / kg ºC

Let's calculate

     T_{f} = 90.0 - 4.52 103 / (0.248 4.186 103)

     T_{f} = 90- 4.35

     T_{f} = 85.65 ° C

     T_{f} = 85.7 ° C
