Describe the importance of conservative forces to conservation of energy.

Physics
1 answer:
Andreyy893 years ago
4 0

Answer:

IF a force is conservative, it is possible to assign a numerical value for the potential at any point and conversely, when an object moves from one location to another, the force changes the potential energy of the object by an amount that does not depend on the path taken, contributing to the mechanical energy and the .

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.6 m/s. A child on a bridge, 71 m abo
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity ofthe ball the instant befo
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The velocity of the ball is 30.0 m/s

This can be calculated by using the value of acceleration as 10.0 m/s2 in free fall and the given time of 3.0 seconds. To get the velocity, one will have to multiply the acceleration with the given time and the quotient would result to 30.0 m/s. Mostly all object regardless of their mass, fall to earth with the same acceleration in the absence of air resistance and as the child drops the ball from a window, it gains speed as it falls.

The equation Bold r (t )equals(8 t plus 9 )Bold i plus (2 t squared minus 8 )Bold j plus (6 t )Bold k is the position of a parti
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

It is given that, the position of a particle as as function of time t is given by :

r(t)=(8t+9)i+(2t^2-8)j+6tk

Let v is the velocity of the particle. Velocity of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{dr(t)}{dt}

v=\dfrac{d[(8t+9)i+(2t^2-8)j+6tk]}{dt}

v=(8i+4tj+6k)\ m/s

So, the above equation is the velocity vector.

Let a is the acceleration of the particle. Acceleration of an object is given by :

a=\dfrac{dv(t)}{dt}

a=\dfrac{d[8i+4tj+6k]}{dt}

a=(4j)\ m/s^2

At t = 0, v=(8i+0+6k)\ m/s

v(t)=\sqrt{8^2+6^2} =10\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
