We know that there is a relationship between work and mechanical energy change. Whenever work is done upon an object by an exter

nal force (or non-conservative force), there will be a change in the total mechanical energy of the object. If only internal forces are doing work then there is no change in the total amount of mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy is said to be conserved. Think of a real-life situation where we make use of this conservation of mechanical energy (where we can neglect external forces for the most part). Describe your example and speak to both the kinetic and potential energy of the motion.

Answer:

* roller skates and ice skates.

* roller coaster

Explanation:

One of the best examples for this situation is when we are skating, in the initial part we must create work with a force, it compensates to move, after this the external force stops working and we continue movements with kinetic energy, if there are some ramps, we can going up, where the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and when going down again it is transformed into kinetic energy. This is true for both roller skates and ice skates.

Another example is the roller coaster, in this case the motor creates work to increase the energy of the car by raising it, when it reaches the top the motor is disconnected, and all the movement is carried out with changes in kinetic and potential energy. In the upper part the energy is almost all potential, it only has the kinetic energy necessary to continue the movement and in the lower part it is all kinetic; At the end of the tour, the brakes are applied that bring about the non-conservative forces that decrease the mechanical energy, transforming it into heat.

A crate which has a mass of m1 = 125kg is sitting on an icy surface. A rope is attached to the crate and held at angle theta 28.
devlian [24]

Answer:

μ = 0.109

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the crate.  There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down.

Normal force N pushing up.

Applied force P pulling at θ above the horizontal.

Friction force Nμ pushing to the left.

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N + P sin θ − mg = 0

N = mg − P sin θ

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

P cos θ − Nμ = ma

P cos θ − ma = Nμ

μ = (P cos θ − ma) / N

μ = (P cos θ − ma) / (mg − P sin θ)

Given:

P = 585 N

θ = 28.0°

m = 125 kg

a = 3.30 m/s²

μ = (585 cos 28.0° − 125 kg × 3.30 m/s²) / (125 kg × 9.8 m/s² − 585 sin 28.0°)

μ = 0.109

lesya [120]

Answer:

Explanation:

The concept of elastic and inelastic demand is applied.

for an elastic demand, the elasticity must be greater than 1 and for an Inelastic demand, the elasticity must be less than 1.

The steps and appropriate calculation is as shown in the attached file.

A car is driving along a road at a speed of 50 km/hr. How far will the car travel in 5 hours?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

I think it's 250

Explanation:

If the car is traveling 50 km/hr that means every hour, the car drives 50 km. So if you want to know how far it will go in 5 hours you do 50x5.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8m/s^2.

So to calculate the time it will take to make the ball stop(which btw means the ball now reach its greatest height), use the formula V1=V0+at. V1 is the final velocity(which is 0), V0 is the starting velocity(which is 30m/s), and the a(cceleration) is 9.8m/s^2.

(You can ignore the fact "at" is -30 instead 30, it's because the directions two velocity travel are opposite. )

We can now know the time it takes to make the ball stop just by the gravitational force is about 3 sec.

Use another formula S=1/2at^2, to find out the S(height) is 1/2*9.8*3^2=44.1, which is approximately D.45m .
