Identify what happens to the kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (PE) of a rock as it falls.

Physics
1 answer:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

KE increases and PE decreases.

Explanation:

<u>POTENTIAL ENERGY (PE)</u>:

The potential energy of the rock depends upon the height of the rock, as given by the following formula:

P.E = mgh

Therefore, the potential energy will be highest at the initial point due to the highest height attained by rock. As the rock falls, its height will decrease as a result its <u>potential energy will also decrease</u>.

<u>KINETIC ENERGY (KE)</u>:

The kinetic energy of the rock depends upon the velocity of the rock, as given by the following formula:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Therefore, the kinetic energy will be zero at the initial point due to the zero velocity of the rock. As the rock falls, its velocity will increase as a result its <u>kinetic energy will also increase</u>.

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>KE increases and PE decreases.</u>

9. a. Determine the mass of a football which has a weight of 0.80 N on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 2 N/kg
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m = 0.4 [kg]

Explanation:

Weight is considered as a force and this is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W=m*g\\

where:

W = weight = 0.8 [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration 2[N/kg]

Therefore:

m=W/g\\m = .8/2\\m = 0.4 [kg]

Question - Does gum affect a student's performance in school?
Mars2501 [29]

Independent variable: the interdependent variable in this example, could be a number of things but the main one is what type of brand is the gum and what kind is it.

Dependent variable: the dependent variable is what you are trying to find so in this case, you are trying to find does gum affect a student's performance.This is the Dependent variable.

Hope I helped!

Have a nice day,
