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 m projected from the surface of the Earth with a velocity v.

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

here, M is the mass of the Earth, R is the radius of Earth and G 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 h 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 v.

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.

Railroad cars are loosely coupled so that there is a noticeable time delay from the time the first and last car is moved from re

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

PLEASE HELP!!! 20 PIONTS!!!

timama [110]

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.

A man starts walking from home and walks 2 miles at 20° north of west, then 4 miles at 10° west of south, then 3 miles at 15° no

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a) R = 2.5 mi b) To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or θ = 98º

This is 8º north west

Explanation:

This is a distance exercise with vectors the best way to work these is to decompose the vectors and perform the sum on each axis separately

To use the Cartesian system all angles must be measured from the positive side of the x-axis or the signs of the components must be assigned manually depending on the quadrant where they are.

First vector A = 2 to 20º north west

Measured from the positive x axis is θ = 180 -20 = 160º

We use trigonometry to find the components

Cos 20 = Aₓ / A

sin 20 = $A_{y}$ / A

Aₓ = A cos 160 = 2 cos 160

$A_{y}$ = A sin160 = 2 sin160

Aₓ = -1,879 mi

$A_{y}$ = 0.684 mi

Second vector B = 4 mi 10º west of the south

Angle θ = 270 - 10 = 260º

cos 2600 = Bₓ / B

sin 260 = $B_{y}$ / B

Bₓ = B cos 260

$B_{y}$ = B sin 260

Bₓ = 4 cos 260

$B_{y}$ = 4 sin 260

Bₓ = -0.6946mi

$B_{y}$ = - 3,939 mi

Third vector C = 3 mi to 15 north east

cos 15 = Cₓ / C

sin15 = $C_{y}$ / C

Cₓ = C cos 15

$C_{y}$ = C sin15

Cₓ = 3 cos 15

$C_{y}$ = 3 sin 15

Cₓ = 2,898 mi

$C_{y}$ = 0.7765 mi

Now we can find the final position of the person

X = Aₓ + Bₓ + Cₓ

X = -1.879 -0.6949 + 2.898

X = 0.3241 mi

Y = $A_{y}$ + $B_{y}$ + $C_{y}$

Y = 0.684 - 3.939 +0.7765

Y = -2.4785 mi

a) We use Pythagoras' theorem

R = √ (x2 + y2)

R = √ (0.3241 2 + (-2.4785) 2)

R = 2.4996 mi

R = 2.5 mi

b) let's use trigonometry

Tan θ = y / x

Tanθ = -2.4785 / 0.3241

θ = tan⁻¹ (-7,647)

θ = -82

Measured from the positive side of the x axis is Te = 360 - 82 = 278º

(90-82) south east

To return to your case you must walk in the opposite direction or Te = 98º

This is 8º north west
