Can something have energy even if it's not moving?
All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. ... Potential energy is stored energy. Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion).


Does a book at rest have energy?
A World Civilization book at rest on the top shelf of a locker possesses mechanical energy due to its vertical position above the ground (gravitational potential energy).



Does a book lying on a table have energy?
The book lying on a desk has potential energy; the book falling off a desk has kinetic energy.

A scuba diver and her gear displace a volume of 67.0 l and have a total mass of 64.0 kg. (a) what is the buoyant force on the di
slavikrds [6]
Buoyant force is the force that is a result from the pressure exerted by a fluid on the object. We calculate this value by using the Archimedes principle where it says that the upward buoyant force that is being exerted to a body that is immersed in the fluid is equal to the fluid's weight that the object has displaced. Buoyant force always acts opposing the direction of weight. We calculate as follows:

Fb = W
Fb = mass (acceleration due to gravity)
Fb = 64.0 kg ( 9.81 m/s^2)
Fb = 627.84 kg m/s^2

Therefore, the buoyant force that is exerted on the diver in the sea water would be 627.84 N

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed 5.3 m/s and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle. ho
lutik1710 [3]

v₀ = initial speed as tarzan grabs the vine = 5.3 m/s

v = final speed as the tarzan reach the maximum height = 0 m/s

h = maximum height gained by the tarzan

m = mass of tarzan

using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy + potential energy

(0.5) m v²₀ = (0.5) m v² + m g h

(0.5) v²₀ = (0.5) v² + g h

(0.5) (5.3)² = (0.5) (0)² + (9.8) h

h = 1.43 m

A 65 kg box is lifted by a person pulling a rope a distance of 15 meters straight up at a constant speed. How much Power is requ
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Power is 1061.67W

Explanation:

Power=force×distance/time

Power=65×9.8×15/9 assuming gravity=9.8m/s²

Power=3185/3=1061.67W

when do you use cos and sin in situations like these? is horizontal always cos and vertical always sin?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

this is simple

the horizontal line is adjacent

the vertical line is opposite

recall that cos x=adj/hyp

adj=hyp(cos x)

while opp=hyp(sin x)
