Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

                     " law of conservation of energy"

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.

Ut=Ui +W+Q

  • Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
  • Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
  • W is the work done by or on the system.
  • Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.

It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.

ΔU=W+Q

The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.

The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.

KE1 + PE1=KE2+PE2

velikii [3]

Answer:

q=5.37*10^{5}C

Explanation:

If we assume that the Earth is a spherical conductor, according to  Gauss's Law, the electric field is given by:

E=\frac{kq}{r^2}

Here k is the Coulomb constant, the excess charge on the Earth's surface and r its radius. Solving for q:

q=\frac{Er^2}{k}\\q=\frac{119\frac{N}{C}(6.371*10^6m)^2}{8.99\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=5.37*10^{5}C

When the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is
Umnica [9.8K]

The gravitational force will be one quarter.

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=GMm/r^2

here, r is the distance between the objects.

Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.

<span>First of all, the maximum speed occurs when the object passes through the
 equilibrium position

The kinetic energy when the object has this max speed is

K= 1/2 * mass * (1.25 m/s)^2

The potential energy in the spring when the speed is equal to zero

U= 1/2 * k * xmax^2

The maximun force of the spring is

mass*acceleration = k*xmax

m * 6.89 m/s2 = k * xmax
xmax = 6.89* m / k

0.5 * m * 1.56  = 0.5 * k * xmax^2
