False.
Force is found by multiplying mass of an object by its acceleration.
F = mass * acceleration
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the tension in the string be T . At the top of the circle , total force acting on them = T + mg . This will provide centripetal force
T + mg = m v² / r
4 + .25 x 9.8 = .25 x v² / .62
6.45 = .25 v² / .62
v² = 16
v = 4 m /s .
Answer:
In a closed system, the total energy is conserved or remains the same as energy transformations take place.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
This law of conservation of energy applies only to a closed system. A closed system is a system which does not exchange energy with its surroundings. All forms of energy conversions occurring within a closed system does not result in an increase or decrease of the total energy of the system, rather, energy remains constant. For example, the universe is a closed system in that all forms of energy conversions occurs within it and energy is not exchanged with an external environment. However, the earth is not a closed system as some of the energy it receives from the sun can be radiated out into space. Since it's an open system, its total energy can change.
