In a closed system, as kinetic energy increases, what happens to potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:
kupik [55]2 years ago

<h2>Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.</h2>

A brave child decides to grab onto an already spinning merry‑go‑round. The child is initially at rest and has a mass of 34.5 kg.
rodikova [14]

Answer:

the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 38.04 kg.m²

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial angular velocity; ω_1 = 37 rpm

Final angular velocity; ω_2 = 19 rpm

mass of child; m = 15.5 kg

distance from the centre; r = 1.55 m

Now, let the moment of inertia of the merry go round be I.

Using the principle of conservation of angular momentum, we have;

I_1 = I_2

Thus,

Iω_1 = I'ω_2

where I' is the moment of inertia of the merry go round and child which is given as I' = mr²

Thus,

I x 37 = ( I + mr²)19

37I = ( I + (15.5 x 1.55²))19

37I = 19I + 684.7125

37I - 19 I = 684.7125

18I = 684.7125

I = 684.7125/18

I = 38.04 kg.m²

Thus, the moment of inertia of the merry go round is 38.04 kg.m²

(a) the gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging (b) radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz
lawyer [7]

Answer:

They can be rank in the following way:

  • A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial
  • Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial
  • The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator
  • The yellow light from sodium vapor streetlights
  • The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

Radiation is distributed along that electromagnetic spectrum according to the wavelength or frequency.

Highest frequencies

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Visible region

Lower frequencies

Infrared

Microwave

Radio waves

Radio waves and the visible region (yellow light, red light) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, any radiation of that electromagnetic spectrum has a speed of 3.00x10^{8}m/s in vacuum.

However, the following equation relates the velocity, the frequency, and the wavelength:

c = \nu \cdot \lambda  (1)

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda} (2)

It can be see in equation 2 that the frequency and the wavelength are inversely proportional (when the frequency increases the wavelength decreases).

Therefore, for what was already discussed, they can be rank in the next way:

  • A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial
  • Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial
  • The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator
  • The yellow light from sodium vapor streetlights
  • The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical

Summary:

In the case of the radio waves can be used:

Case for \nu = 93.1 MHz:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{93100000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 3.22m

Case for \nu = 680 kHz:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{680000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 441.17m

Describe the motion of an automobile on an east-west
Tanya [424]

Answer:

1. The automobile is traveling due east and is speeding up.

2. The car is traveling due east and is is slowing down.

3. The automobile is traveling due east at a constant speed.

4. The car is traveling due west and is slowing down.

5. The automobile is traveling due west and is speeding up.

6. The automobile is traveling due west at a constant speed.

7. The automobile is accelerating due east from rest.

8. The automobile is accelerating due west from rest.

Explanation:

The key to understanding this is:

When the acceleration and initial velocity of the automobile have the same sign (positive or negative) then the automobile is speeding up. Explained further, if acceleration and the initial velocity are both positive or they are both negative the automobile is speeding up but whenever they have opposite signs (that is acceleration is positive and initial velocity is negative or vice versa) the automobile is slowing down. When the acceleration is zero the automobile is maintaining a unform motion at a constant speed (the speed is not changing with time). The + or - sign indicates the direction of travel. In this case east is + and west is -. It is my pleasure answering this question. I hope you find it helpful. Thank you.

Mean is the same thing as average, so to find this you would add all of the numbers together and divide them by the amount of numbers you added. For example, (6+9+11)/3

Median is the middle number of the list of numbers, but you have to put them in numerical order first. If there is not an exact middle, you would add the middle two together and divide by two.

Mode is the number that occurs most often within the list of numbers.
