Develop a model (diagram) that shows how different amounts of gravitational potential energy (GPE) are stored in the earth-ball

system when the ball is raised to different heights on the ramp.
Physics

The gravitational potential energy of the ball can be modelled in

relation to the velocity attained by the ball rolling down the ramp.

A model of the GPE of the ball is as follows;

  • The height of ball is directly proportional to the square of the velocity the ball reaches while rolling down the ramp. h ∝ v²

<h3>Which is the method used to obtain the model for the GPE of the ball?</h3>

The gravitational potential energy, GPE, is given as follows;

GPE = m·g·Δh

Where;

m = The mass of the ball

g = The acceleration due to gravity

Δh = The change in elevation of the ball

The gravitational energy of the ball at the starting (lowest) part of the

ramp, where Δh = 0, is 0.

When a small amount of energy is applied to the ball by moving it with a

slow speed, the ball moves some distance up the ramp then stops.

When a higher amount of energy is applied to the ball, the ball moves to

a higher point on the ramp.

When energy is applied to the ball, the energy is converted into

gravitational potential energy such that the height the ball reaches,

indicates the amount of gravitational potential energy in the ball.

Based on the model, we have;

Kinetic energy K.E. applied = GPE gained

Which gives;

\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v^2 = \mathbf{m \cdot g  \cdot h}

v^2 = 2 \cdot g  \cdot h

  • h \propto v^2
  • <u>The height of the ball is directly proportional to the square of the velocity</u>

Answer:

<u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate linear expansivity, then after finding that value, we can move on to finding the area expansivity.

<u />

=============================================================

Finding Linear Expansivity :

⇒ α = Final length - Original length / (Original length × ΔT)

⇒ α = 9 - 4 / (4 × 70 - 20)

⇒ α = 5 / 5 × 50

⇒ α = <u>0.02</u>

============================================================

Finding Area Expansivity :

⇒ Area Expansivity = 2 × Linear Expansivity

⇒ β = 2 × α

⇒ β = 2 × 0.02

⇒ β = <u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>

Tim and Rick both can run at speed Vr and walk at speed Vw, with Vr &gt; Vw.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Δt =  \frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw}

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using the equation of speed for the whole trip, we can obtain the time each one needed to cover the distance D.

The speed (v) is calculated by dividing the traveled distance (d) over the time needed to cover that distance (t):

v = d/t

Rick traveled half of the distance at Vr and the other half at Vw. Then, when v = Vr, the distance traveled was D/2 and the time is unknown, Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

For the other half of the trip the expression of velocity will be:

Vw = D/(2 · Δt2)

The total time traveled is the sum of both Δt:

Δt(total) = Δt1 + Δt2

Then, solving the first equation for Δt1:

Vr = D/ (2 · Δt1)

Δt1 = D/(2 · Vr)

In the same way for the second equation:

Δt2 = D/(2 · Vw)

Δt + Δt2 = D/(2 · Vr) + D/(2 · Vw)

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

The time needed by Rick to complete the trip was:

Δt(total) = D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw)

Now let´s calculate the time it took Tim to do the trip:

Tim walks half of the time, then his speed could be expressed as follows:

Vw = 2d1/Δt  Where d1 is the traveled distance.

Solving for d1:

Vw · Δt/2 = d1

He then ran half of the time:

Vr = 2d2/Δt

Solving for d2:

Vr · Δt/2 = d2

Since d1 + d2 = D, then:

Vw · Δt/2 +  Vr · Δt/2 = D

Solving for Δt:

Δt (Vw/2 + Vr/2) = D

Δt = D / (Vw/2 + Vr/2)

Δt = D/ ((Vw + Vr)/2)

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

The time needed by Tim to complete the trip was:

Δt = 2D / (Vw + Vr)

Let´s find the diference between the time done by Tim and the one done by Rick:

Δt(tim) - Δt(rick)

2D / (Vw + Vr) - (D/2 · (1/Vr + 1/Vw))

\frac{2D}{Vw+Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vr} - \frac{D}{2Vw} = Δt

Let´s check the result. If Vr = Vw:

Δt = 2D/2Vr - D/2Vr - D/2Vr

Δt = D/Vr - D/Vr = 0

This makes sense because if both move with the same velocity all the time both will do the trip in the same time.

What is always true of a liquid's shape and volume?
Natalija [7]
Molecules of liquid are far away from each other but less compared to gas. Liquid has the ability to flow. Liquid molecules can move. Liquid occupies the shape of the container. Thus, they do not have fixed shape. Liquid has fixed volume because they are not compressible(easily)

Go outside on a clear night, wait 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark, and look carefully at the brightest stars. Som
Elden [556K]

Answer:

blue star is hotter than red

Explanation:

The colour of a star depends on its temperature.

Lesser the temperature means lesser be the energetic. less energy means longer wavelength. Between blue and red, red colour has longer wavelength. So, the red colored star is colder than blue coloured star.

Blue coloured star is hotter than red coloured star.

A larger truck takes more force to move<br><br> What law of motion is it?
Y_Kistochka [10]
Newton's Second Law would probably best describe this. 
F = ma 
Where F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration 

The force required is dependant on the mass, and where the mass is greater, the force required will be greater.
