What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy and how do they work?

Iteru [2.4K]

To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:

$PE = mgh\\KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

<h3>Potential energy </h3>

Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:

An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)

(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)

<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>

Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)

Dish-shaped reflectors are used to steer microwaves in order to establish communications links between nearby buildings. Those r

Ad libitum [116K]

A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.

"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)

(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)

Before starting this problem, review Conceptual Example 3 in your text. Suppose that the hail described there comes straight dow

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.9 N

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object is related to its change in momentum by:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

where

F is the force exerted

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

The change in momentum can be rewritten as

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

So the formula can be rewritten as

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

In this problem we have:

$\frac{m}{\Delta t}=0.030 kg/s$ is the mass rate

$u=-15 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$v=+15 m/s$ is the final velocity

Therefore, the force exerted by the hail on the roof is:

$F=(0.030)(+15-(-15))=0.9 N$
