To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts of conservation of the moment especially in objects that experience an inelastic colposition.
They are expressed as,
Where,
= mass of the skier
= mass of the cat
= initial velocity of skier
= initial velocity of cat
= final velocity of both
Re-arrange to find V_f we have,
Once the final velocity is found it is possible to calculate the change in kinetic energy, so
Therefore the amount of kinetic energy converted in to internal energy is 819J
Answer:
The maximum electric field strength = 0.01 V/m
Explanation:
Given
ΔV(max) = 4.00 mV = 0.004 V
d = 0.400 m
f = 1.00 Hz
Maximum electric field = (maximum potential)/(length)
Maximum electric field = E(max)
Maximum potential = 4.00 mV = 0.004 V
Length = 0.400 m
E(max) = (0.004/0.4) = 0.01 V/m
Hope this Helps!!!
1) The total mechanical energy of the rock is:
where U is the gravitational potential energy and K the kinetic energy.
Initially, the kinetic energy is zero (because the rock starts from rest, so its speed is zero), and the total mechanical energy of the rock is just gravitational potential energy. This is equal to
where
is the mass,
is the gravitational acceleration and
is the height.
Putting the numbers in, we find the potential energy
2) Just before hitting the ground, the potential energy U is zero (because now h=0), and all the potential energy of the rock converted into kinetic energy, which is equal to:
where v is the speed of the rock just before hitting the ground. Since the mechanical energy of the rock must be conserved, then the kinetic energy K before hitting the ground must be equal to the initial potential energy U of the rock:
3) For the work-energy theorem, the work W done by the gravitational force on the rock is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the rock, which is:
