Answer:
Kf > Ka = Kb > Kc > Kd > Ke
Explanation:
We can apply
E₀ = E₁
where
E₀: Mechanical energy at the beginning of the motion (top of the incline)
E₁: Mechanical energy at the end (bottom of the incline)
then
K₀ + U₀ = K₁ + U₁
If v₀ = 0 ⇒ K₀
and h₁ = 0 ⇒ U₁ = 0
we get
U₀ = K₁
U₀ = m*g*h₀ = K₁
we apply the same equation in each case
a) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 70 Kg*9.81 m/s²*8m = 5493.60 J
b) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 70 Kg*9.81 m/s²*8m = 5493.60 J
c) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 35 Kg*9.81 m/s²*4m = 1373.40 J
d) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 7 Kg*9.81 m/s²*16m = 1098.72 J
e) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 7 Kg*9.81 m/s²*4m = 274.68 J
f) U₀ = K₁ = m*g*h₀ = 105 Kg*9.81 m/s²*6m = 6180.30 J
finally, we can say that
Kf > Ka = Kb > Kc > Kd > Ke
Answer:
x = 1.00486 m
Explanation:
The complete question is:
" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)? "
Solution:
- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:
F = - dU / dx
F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx
F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5
- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:
0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5
0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4
x^4 = 20.8/20.4
x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25
x = 1.00486 m
