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

1 answer:

4 0

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

The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be

kap26 [50]

Answer:

$v = 14.86 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the force equation at the top is given as

$\frac{mv^2}{R} = ma$

now we know that

$a_c = 1.5 g$

so we have

$\frac{v^2}{R} = 1.5 g$

$v = \sqrt{1.5 Rg}$

so we will have

$v = \sqrt{1.5(15)(9.81)}$

$v = 14.86 m/s$

Why is static electricity worse in winter?

Ratling [72]

Because static electricity build up in our homes because we have the heaters on which suck moisture out of the air.

A man pushes a shopping cart across a level floor. What force resists the effort force? A) gravity B) friction C) the normal for

Kipish [7]

Answer:

B) Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.

For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:

$F_f = \mu_k mg$

where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.

In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is

$F_f = \mu_s mg$

where $\mu_s$ is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Explain why frog will not look green under the red light?

IrinaVladis [17]

A frog can be many different colours. It appears green under normal 'white' light because it absorbs all the other colours in the light's spectrum apart from green. It reflects the green light back and that is picked up by your eye.

If the light is red, there is no green in the spectrum of the light, only red. So, the red light will be absorbed and there is no green to be reflected back for you to see. Therefore, the frog will not look green.
