Answer:
In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion
In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.
In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies
Answer:
In the air
Explanation:
There are three states of matter:
- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position
- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other
- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible
For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.
In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.
Increasing its velocity will add to the kinetic energy more as the formula for kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2. (The speed will be squared making it greater)
