Suppose someone caused a book to fall from the shelf to the ground. Compared to the total sum of kinetic and potential energy th

e book has while on the shelf, about how much would it have when it is halfway from the shelf to the ground? no energy, half as much,twice as much, or the same amount? Pretty easy question.​

Answer:

book resting on a shelf has no potential energy relative to the shelf since it has a height of zero meters relative to the shelf. However, if the book is elevated to some height above the shelf, then it has potential energy proportional to the height at which it resides above the shelf.

An object can have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time. For example, an object which is falling, but has not yet reached the ground has kinetic energy because it is moving downwards, and potential energy because it is able to move downwards even further than it already has. The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy.

As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

Another important concept is work.

Does the voltage of a battery affect the strength of an electromagnet?
swat32

I'm trying to make an electromagnet that's strength is constantly getting incremented by small amounts every second. I need to know, which would have a greater effect on the electromagnet's strength, amps or volts? (I know increasing the turns and/or density of the magnet wire will increase the strength, but I am looking for answers other than that particular one.)

Un coche inicia un viaje de 450 km a las ocho de la mañana con una velocidad media de 90 km/h. ¿A qué hora llegará a su destino?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Llegara a su destino a la 1:00 pm

Explanation:

Si el coche va a 90 km/h buscamos un numero q al multiplicarlo por 90 nos de 450. Entonces 90×5 = 450, si hacemos la cuenta desde las ocho de la mañana mas las 5 horas del viaje terminaria llegando a su destino a la 1:00 pm.
