Answer:

When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object. For example, when energy is transferred to an Earth-object system as an object is raised, the gravitational field energy of the system increases. This energy is released as the object falls; the mechanism of this release is the gravitational force. Likewise, two magnetic and electrically charged objects interacting at a distance exert forces on each other that can transfer energy between the interacting objects.

Explanation:

Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion). ... A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.

A circuit is set up such that it has a current of 8 A. What would be the new current if the resistance was increased by a factor

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

The equation can also be rewritten as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.

In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:

R ' = 2R

So the new current is

$I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{V}{R})=\frac{I}{2}=4 A$

so the current is halved.

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

$W=-Fd$

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

$F=\mu mg$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

$W=-\mu mg d$ (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$ (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

$-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d$

And solving for $\mu$ , we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

$\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767$

1. How do you determine which between the two object has a greater amount of potential energy?

jeka94

Answer:

All of these answers are dependent upon the specific scenario, but here are some general answers.

1. An object with a greater height will have more potential energy.

2. Potential energy can be changed into kinetic energy as an object falls. It loses height (potential energy) and gains speed (kinetic energy).

3. Depends on what scenario your class had.

anygoal [31]

Magma from the mantle rises and flows out through a vent onto Earth's surface as lava. This molten material, sometimes along with ash, cinders, and rock, builds up a mountain around the vent. The vent and its mountain together are called a sediment.
