Kinetic Energy Increases

If it is GAINING mass, the kinetic energy increases because it's still moving. If it stopped, it would then become potential energy.

In which one(s) of the following situations will there be an INCREASE in Kinetic Energy? Group of answer choices A block slides

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy INCREASE in the following situations:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Explanation:

The energy kinetics is proportional to the square of the velocity:

$E_k=1/2*mv^2$

We study the cases:

a)A block slides down a frictionless incline:

The gravity made a positive work and the box get a extra velocity, then the kinetics energy INCREASE

b)A box is pulled across a rough floor at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

c)A stone at the end of a string is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed:

The magnitude of the velocity does not change, so the kinetics energy does not change as well

d)A projectile approaches its maximum height:

If the projectile approaches its maximum height, its velocity approaches to zero. Then the kinetics Energy DECREASE

e)A merry go round rotates faster due to the push by a person.

Thanks to the push, the magnitude of the velocity INCREASE, so the kinetics energy INCREASE as well

A carpenter on the roof of a building accidentally drops herhammer. As the hammer falls it passes two windows of equal height,a)

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) the speed increment of the hammer as it drops past the first window, is greater than that of the speed of the hammer as it drops past the second window. This can also be translated as saying that the hammer spent more time at the second window.

b) III

The best answer would be answer III, The hammer spends more time dropping past window 1, which I had already included in my explanation in (a) above.

The what’s the difference does it mean velocity and vector Quantity is the same

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

No they are totally different...

Velocity is displacement/time. while vector is both magnitude and direction.....

Velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction

Which is an example of an unstructured activity that promotes resistance training?

aleksandrvk [35]

One possible unstructured activity that promotes resistance training would be climbing playground equimpent - A.

This is by nature a unstructured ctivity. Furthermore, it promotes resistance training because you're forced to move and pull and push yourself.
