The potential energy of a swing is greatest at the top of the swing. (Point A).
Yes. take a bow for instance. while pulling back the string you have potential energy. when you let the string go and the arrow flies towards your target the string is filled with kinetic energy.
Choice 'D' describes speed in the metric units 'meter' and 'second'.
With no mention of direction, it can't be called 'velocity'.
Answer
speed of the molecules
s₁ = v t
when velocity is doubled
s₂ = (2 v)t
= 2 s₁
they will hit the wall of container two times as often.
the momentum of molecule
p₁ = mvr
p₂ = m(2v)r = 2(mvr)
= 2 p₁
the momentum change is two times as great.
force is change in momentum
Δp = F(Δt)
mv-(-mv) = 2 mv
F α v
therefore average force impart to the wall on each collision is two times
p α v²
here the velocity is doubled it means pressure becomes four times.
Answer:
Decrease
Explanation:
If you were on the Moon, which has significantly less mass than the Earth, your weight would: decrease
The point that seemed to be giving me a complicated time was being able to distinguish the difference and meaning of weight and mass and being able to apply that to a problem. I kept mixing up the definitions. For example in homework 3.1, one question asked:
If you were on the moon, which has significantly less mass than the earth, your mass would:
a. increase
b. decrease
c. stay the same
d. become zero
The definition of mass is the amount of matter in an object. The definition of weight is the amount or unit of force. For me, I just had to remember that when it asked about weight, it wasn’t referring how heavy an object is. After I was able to recognize that when it came to weight, questions became easier.
The final and correct answer was decreasing. The answer is because the Moon’s mass is less. This means the gravitational force is less on your body, therefore, your mass is going to be lighter
