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]3 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>

What is the voltage across an 8.00 nm–thick membrane if the electric field strength across it is 5.50 MV/m?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

0.044 V

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 5.5\times 10^6\ V/m

d = Thickness of membrane = 8 nm

When the electric field strength is multiplied by the membrane thickness we get the voltage

Voltage across a gap is given by

V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=5.5\times 10^6\times 8\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow V=0.044\ V

The voltage across the membrane is 0.044 V

In the reaction _S+302 +2SO3, what coefficient should be placed in front of the S to balance the reaction?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B. 2

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

                _S  + 3O₂   →  2SO₃

Now let us balanced the expression;

  On the product side we have 2 moles of S

   On the reactant side we should have 2moles of S

So, we put the coefficient 2 to balance the expression;

   We have 6 moles oxygen on both sides

a city government received a $1 million grant to build swimming pools and skating rinks for youth. based on the data provided in
ivolga24 [154]

We have that for the Question "A city government received a $1 million grant to build swimming pools and skating rinks for youth. based on the data provided in the graph, what is the opportunity cost of building one swimming pool?" it can be said that

OC=2

From the question we are told

A city government received a $1 million grant to build swimming pools and skating rinks for youth. based on the data provided in the graph, what is the opportunity cost of building one swimming pool?

Generally the equation for the Opportunity cost  is mathematically given as

OC=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\\\\OC=\frac{2-0}{1-0}\\\\OC=2

Therefore

From the graph of the  question we can ascertain that Opportunity cost

OC=2

What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity? ​
likoan [24]

It is the acceleration of an object in free fall

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, it is subjected only to one force: the force of gravity, which pulls the object downward, with a magnitude (near the Earth's surface) which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

We can apply Newton's second law to the object in free fall:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

a is the acceleration of the object

m is the mass

However, since there is only the force of gravity acting on the object, the net force is equal to the force of gravity: so we can equate the two equations, obtaining that

mg = ma\\\rightarrow a = g

Which means that the acceleration of an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2.
