An object's gravitational potential energy is NOT directly related to which of the following?

2 answers:

8 0

The correct answer is C. Its speed

Speed is related to the kinetic energy, not the potential one because kinetic requires the body to be in motion, that is, move at a certain speed. Potential energy has no motion.

Explanation :

The mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy i.e.

ME = PE + KE

Kinetic energy is due to the motion of an object.

Potential energy is possessed by an object due to its height under the action of gravity.

Mathematically, it is written as :

PE =mgh

Where

m is the mass of the object

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height relative to reference level.

So, an object's gravitational potential energy is NOT related to its speed.

Hence, the correct option is (c) 'Its speed'.

A top of rotational inertia 4.0 kg m2 receives a torque of 2.4 nm from a physics professor. the angular acceleration of the body

Tanzania [10]

Angular acceleration is simply the ratio of the Torque over the rotation inertia, that is:

Angular acceleration = Torque / Rotational inertia

So substituting the values:

Angular acceleration = 2.4 N m / 4.0 kg m2

<span>Angular acceleration = 0.7 rad/s^2</span>

BigorU [14]

Answer:

inertia

Explanation:

The property of matter that will keep the body in motion when the car comes to a halt is the inertia force.

Inertia is the ability of a body to remain in static position. It is the tendency to remain in a stable condition where there is no motion.

Newton's first law is the law of inertia and it states that a body remain in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
The ability to remain in state of rest by a body is predicated on the force of inertia.

A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A

KIM [24]

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle. The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid. If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle. This triangle and the small triangle are similar. So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.
