Answer:

Potential energy refers to the stored up energy within an object, that builds up and can potentially be used to propel that object.

Explanation:

A famous example, would be water behind a dam. The rushing water fills up behind the dam, and since it's being held in one place, it will build up until of course the dam is either moved or lifted, and then all the water will be forced (due to all the energy that was being stored) down the rest of the stream.

I hope the explanation makes sense. If it doesn't, please let me know and I'll try to find another one for you :)

Potential energy is the an objects energy that is currently not being used but can be used. Example: A ball at the top of a hill is full of potential energy, and as soon as it begins rolling that becomes kinetic energy because it is in use. (Hard to explain but I hope this helps.)

What would be the speed of an object just before hitting the ground if dropped 91.5 meters
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

about 42.35 m/s

Explanation:

Use the equation for accelerated motion (g), and with zero initial velocity that doesn't include time:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2\,a\,\Delta x

which for our case would reduce to:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2\,a\,\Delta x\\v_f^2=0+2\,9.8\,(91.5)\\v_f^2= 1793.4\\v_f=\sqrt{1793.4} \\v_f \approx 42.35

then the velocity just before hitting would be about 42.35 m/s

A 5.0-kg centrifuge takes 95 s to spin up from rest to its final angular speed with constant angular acceleration. A point locat
stellarik [79]

Answer:

(a) 17.37 rad/s^2

(b) 12479

Explanation:

t = 95 s, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m, v = 99 m/s, w0 = 0

w = v / r = 99 / 0.06 = 1650 rad/s

(a) Use first equation of motion for rotational motion

w = w0 + α t

1650 = 0 + α x 95

α = 17.37 rad/s^2

(b) Let θ be the angular displacement

Use third equation of motion for rotational motion

w^2 = w0^2 + 2 α θ

1650^2 = 0 + 2 x 17.37 x θ

θ = 78367.87 rad

number of revolutions, n = θ / 2 π

n = 78367.87 / ( 2 x 3.14)

n = 12478.9 ≈ 12479

This rock, known as balance rock, sits on a thin spike of rock in a canyon in idaho. explain the forces that keep the rock balan
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Action force and Reaction force

Explanation:

The action force which is the balanced rock pushing down due to gravity and the reaction force pushing the equal amount of force. These two things are stated in Newtons third law, where he states that "Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first." Also, he states that "all forces acts in pairs," meaning that every force exerted, there is an opposite force on the first.

Inside a television picture tube there is a build-up of electrons (charge of 1. 602 × 10–19 C) with an average spacing of 38. 0
Olin [163]

The magnitude of the electric field inside the picture tube is 998.476 kN/C.

<h3>What is an electric field?</h3>

It is an area in the space where a charged particle experiences a force. It can be calculated by the formula,

E =\dfrac {kQ}{r^2 }

Where,

E = electric field produced

Q = charge =  1.602 \times  10^{-19}\rm \  C

r = distance = 38 \times  10^{-9}\rm \  m

k = Coulomb's constant = 9 \times 10^9 \rm \ N. m2 / C2

Put the values in the formula,

E = \dfrac {9 \times 10^9\times 1.602 \times  10^{-19}}{(38 \times  10^{-9})^2}\\\\E = 998.476 \rm \ kN/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field inside the picture tube is 998.476 kN/C.
