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 hotel elevator ascends 200m with maximum speed of 5m/s. Its acceleration and deceleration both have a magnitude of 1.0m/s2. Pa
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

45 s .

Explanation:

The accelerator will first accelerate , then move with uniform velocity and at last it will decelerate to rest .

displacement s = ?

acceleration a = 1 m /s²

Final speed v = 5 m/s

initial speed u = 0

v² = u² + 2as

5² = 0 + 2 x 1 x s

s = 12.5  m

B)  Let time of acceleration or deceleration be t

v = u + a t

5 = 0 + 1 t

t = 5 s

Similarly displacement during deceleration = 12.5 m

Total distance during uniform motion = 200 - ( 12.5 + 12.5 ) =  175 m .

velocity of uniform motion = 5 m /s

time during which there was uniform velocity = 175 / 5 = 35 s

Total time = 5 + 35 + 5 = 45 s .

What is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

2) zero acceleration

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, acceleration, etc.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

Generally, an object is said to be in equilibrium when neither the energy possessed by the object not state of motion changes with respect to time. Thus, the vector sum of all the forces acting upon an object that's in equilibrium is zero.

In conclusion, an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium is zero (0) acceleration because there's no change in its velocity with respect to time.

If a 100N weight sits in an express elevator what will be the weight when the elevator is traveling at a constant speed
yarga [219]
This is a "trick" question.

If the elevator is traveling at constant speed, it means it is at rest. This means anything inside the elevator traveling at constant speed, weights the same as in an elevator not moving -also at rest-.

So the 100N weight's weight doesn't change in an elevator traveling at constant speed.

Casey is playing with her yo-yo. She performs an "around the world" trick, in which the yo-yo travels up and around in a circle
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It has the least potential energy at the bottom of its circular path.

Explanation:

It has the least potential energy at the bottom of its circular path.

Remember the equation

U = m*g*h

where U is the potential energy

m is the mass of the yo-yo

h is the height
