To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:
<h3>Potential energy </h3>
Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:
An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)
(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)
<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)
<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>
Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
The term used to describe the quantity of matter that a body possesses is mass.
The answer is option D a gallon of gasoline.
Explanation:
A gallon of gasoline has the least chemical energy. The energy content of gallon of gasoline is about 132,000 Btu. The gasoline produced is equivalent in energy terms to 4 kilowatt hours.
Gasoline has chemical potential energy stored in chemical bonds. Gasoline is called as gas or petrol, mixture of volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbons are used as fuel for internal- combustion engines. It is used as solvent for oils and fats.
Gasoline gallon equivalent is the alternative fuel taken to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of gasoline.
First electromagnet
Explanation:
The first electromagnet is the strongest and it is stronger than the given electromagnet above.
An electromagnet is a temporary magnet made by passing current through a wire wounded round an iron core or metallic core.
- When current is passed through, the metal becomes magnetic.
- The strength of the electromagnet depends on the number of coil round the metal core and also the intensity of current passed through it.
- The higher the number of coils wounded round the metal core, the stronger the electromagnet that will be produced.
- Also, the higher the intensity of electricity passed through the wire, the stronger it is.
