Describe Kinetic Energy.

1 answer:

4 0

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

Where is the potential energy equal to zero?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

im sure your already past this but it's E.

Explanation:

This is because in this case potential energy is linear to height, which means that the higher the more potential energy.

Rank in order, from smallest to largest, the six torques (torque 1 to torque 2) about the hinge.?

anzhelika [568]

The solution for this problem is:torque1 = torque2 = FL / 2
Torque 3 = Torque 4 = FL / 2 * sin (theta)
Torque 5 = 2 FL
Torque 6 = 0

So the order of the torques from smallest to largest is torque 6, (torque 3 and 4), (torque 1 and 2), torque 5.

Remember or just take note that sin (theta) < 1 is why 3 and 4 are less than 1 and 2.

Which labels best complete the diagram?

nlexa [21]

Answer: D

Explanation: Look at the figure, we can conclude that the correct answer is

X: Low potential energy

Y: High potential energy

Z: Flow of electrons

Because electrons flow where there is difference in potential energy. And electrons move from a region of high potential energy to a region of low potential energy.

Since the arrow is pointing to X, that means

Z is the flow of electrons, X is of low potential energy and Y is of high potential energy.
