Explain the difference between potential energy, kinetic energy, and mechanical energy?

Physics

Answer: Potential Eenergy is  possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.  Mechanical energy is an energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.

A hopper jumps straight up to a height of 1.1 m. With what velocity did it leave the floor?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

4.64m/s

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ v = √2gh ] to solve for this problem. We know that g is constant acceleration (9.8), and h is height (1.1).

v = √2(9.8)(1.1)

v ≈ 4.64m/s

Best of Luck!

How roofs are lifted off building in tornado?
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

As a tornado or other storm system passes over a building, low pressure can tug a roof upward. When those forces surpass the force exerted by the weight of the roof, the structure flies up and is swept away by wind currents..

In which of the following cases will the normal force on a box be the greatest? A. When the box is placed in a stationary elevat
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

 D. When the box is placed in an elevator accelerating upward

Explanation:

Looking at the answer choices, we know that we want to find out how the normal force varies with the motion of the box. In all cases listed in the answer choices, there are two forces acting on the box: the normal force and the force of gravity. These two act in opposite directions: the normal force, N, in the upward direction and gravity, mg, in the downward direction. Taking the upward direction to be positive, we can express the net force on the box as N - mg.

From Newton's Second Law, this is also equal to ma, where a is the acceleration of the box (again with the upward direction being positive). For answer choices (A) and (B), the net acceleration of the box is zero, so N = mg. We can see how the acceleration of the elevator (and, hence, of the box) affects the normal force. The larger the acceleration (in the positive, i.e., upward, direction), the larger the normal force is to preserve the equality: N - mg = ma, N = ma+ mg. Answer choice (D), in which the elevator is accelerating upward, results in the greatest normal force, since in that case the magnitude of the normal force is greater than gravity by the amount ma.
