Answer: gravitational potential energy
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is refered to as the potential energy that an object has due to its gravitational field, which in turn is being turned into a kinetic energy when there is a fall of such objects.
Since Johanna is studying what happens to the energy as a ball rolls down a ramp, the form of energy here is the gravitational potential energy.
Answer / Explanation:
B
Potential difference is measured using a device called a voltmeter . Just like ammeters, some types have a pointer on a dial, but most have a digital display. However, unlike an ammeter, you must connect the voltmeter in parallel to measure the potential difference across a component in a circuit.
We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.
Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:
Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s
Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s
Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s
Substituting this into p=mv again:
1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!
1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)
An imbalance of electrons causes an object to be charged. A charged substance is one that has a net charge that is not zero. If the number of protons and that of electrons is equal in an object, the object is not neutral, but it has zero charge. Loss or gain of electrons determine the charge of an object, when an object loses electrons it becomes positively charged, but when it gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.
