VELOCITY, SPEED, DISTANCE ETC..

Physics
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity  = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity  = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h

Can you think of a scenario when the kinetic and gravitational potential energy could both be zero ? Describe or draw how this c
Inga [223]

Both kinetic and gravitational potential energy can become zero at infinite distance from the Earth.

Consider an object  of mass <em>m </em>projected from the surface of the Earth with a velocity <em>v. </em>

The total energy of the body on the surface of the Earth is the sum of its kinetic energy \frac{1}{2} mv^2and gravitational potential energy -\frac{GMm}{R^2}.

here, <em>M</em> is the mass of the Earth, <em>R</em> is the radius of Earth and <em>G</em> is the universal gravitational constant.

The gravitational potential energy of the object is negative since it is in an attractive field, which is the gravitational field of the Earth.

The energy of the object on the surface of the earth is given by,

E_i=\frac{1}{2} mv^2-\frac{GMm}{R^2}

As the object rises upwards, it experiences deceleration due to the gravitational force of the Earth. Its velocity decreases and hence its kinetic energy decreases.

The decrease in kinetic energy is manifested as  an equal increase in potential energy. The potential energy becomes less and less negative as more and more kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

At a height <em>h</em> from the surface of the Earth, the energy of the object is given by,

E_h=\frac{1}{2} mv_h^2-\frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}

The velocity v_h is less than <em>v</em>.

When h =∞, the gravitational potential energy increases from a negative value to zero.

If the velocity of projection is adjusted in such a manner that the velocity decreases to zero at infinite distance from the earth, the object's kinetic energy also becomes equal to zero.

Thus, it is possible for both kinetic and potential energies to be zero at infinite distance from the Earth. In this case, kinetic energy decreases from a positive value to zero and the gravitational potential energy increases from  a negative value to zero.

TiliK225 [7]
You may jump higher because the more the mass of the planet, the more gravitational force. There is less mass(and gravity) on Callisto so you wouldn’t be weighed down as much and can jump higher. Whereas on Jupiter there is more weight holding you down.

A kite is 100m above the ground. if there are 200m of string out what is the angle between the string and the horizontal? (assum
jeka57 [31]

Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees
