Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when:

Physics

1 answer:

Sedbober [7]2 years ago

5 0

Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.

What best describes desert pavements

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A common theory suggests that desert pavements are formed through gradual removal of sand and other fine particles by the wind and intermittent rains leaving behind the large fragments. The larger rock particles are shaken into place by actions of different agents such as rain, wind, gravity, and animals

IN THIS FORMULA FOR WATER WHAT DOES THE SUBSCRIPT 2 INDICATE

masha68 [24]

The chemical formular for water is H2O.
The H aspect of the formula stands for hydrogen gas and the subscript 2 which is attached to the H symbol signifies that two atoms of hydrogen are joined together, that is two atom of hydrogen are present.
The chemical formula of water indicates that, two atom of hydrogen react with one atom of oxygen to form one molecule of water.
In chemical formulae, subscripts are normally used to indicate the number of atoms that are present in a molecule.

If a body having mass 40kg started moving initially with rest and it takes a velocity of 20m/sec in time 4 seconds. Find the val

baherus [9]

${\mathfrak{\underline{\purple{\:\:\: Given:-\:\:\:}}}} \\ \\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{Mass \ of \ the \ body \ (m) = 40 \ kg}$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{Final \ velocity \ of \ the \ body \ (v) = 20 \ m/s}$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{Initial \ velocity \ of \ the \ body \ (u) = 0}$

$\\$

${\mathfrak{\underline{\purple{\:\:\:To \:Find:-\:\:\:}}}} \\ \\$

$\:\:\:\:\bullet\:\:\:\sf{Force \ exerted \ by \ the \ body \ ( F)}$

$\\$

${\mathfrak{\underline{\purple{\:\:\: Solution:-\:\:\:}}}} \\ \\$

☯ Using 1st equation of motion

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{v = u + at}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{20 = 0 + a(4)}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{20 = 4a}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{\dfrac{\cancel{20}}{\cancel{4}} = a}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{a = 5}$

$\\$

☯ Now, Finding the force exerted

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{F = ma}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{F = 40 \times 5}$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow\:\: \sf{F = 200 \ N}$

$\\$

☯ Hence, $\\$

$\:\:\:\:\star\:\:\:\sf{The \ force \ exerted \ by \ the \ body \ is \ 200N}$

How would decreasing the volume of the reaction vessel affect each of the following equilibria?2NOBr(g)⇌2NO(g)+Br2(g)

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The equilibrium position will shift towards the left hand side or reactants side

Explanation:

Decreasing the volume (increasing the pressure) of the system will shift the equilibrium position towards the lefthand side or reactants side. This is because, decreasing the volume (increasing the pressure) implies shifting the equilibrium position towards the side having the least number of moles.

There are two moles of reactants and a total of three moles of products(total). Hence decreasing the volume and increasing the pressure of the gas phase reaction will shift the equilibrium position towards the lefthand side.
