Answer:

sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy

Explanation:

The sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy is known as the mechanical energy.

The energy of a body possessed by the body by virtue of its position or configuration is called the potential energy of the body.

The formula for the potential energy is given by

U = m x g x h

where, m is the mass of the body, h be the height of the body and g be the acceleration due to gravity.

The energy of the body possessed by the motion of the body is called its kinetic energy. The formula for the kinetic energy is given by

K = 0.5 x m xv^2

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>

While in a car at 4.47 meters per second a passenger drops a ball from a height of 0.70 meters above the top of a bucket how far
viktelen [127]

Answer:

1.7 m

Explanation:

v_x = Velocity of ball in x direction = 4.47 m/s

u_y = Velocity of ball in y direction = 0

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

t = Time taken

s_y = Vertical displacement = 0.7 m

s_y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0.7=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.7\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.38\ \text{s}

Horizontal displacement is given by

s_x=v_xt\\\Rightarrow s_x=4.47\times 0.38\\\Rightarrow s_x=1.7\ \text{m}

The passenger should throw the ball 1.7 m in front of the bucket.

Prove dimensionally that: PV=RT
Oduvanchick [21]

Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT

THE GASEOUS STATE
Pressure  atm
Volume  liters
n  moles
R  L atm mol^-1 K^-1
Temperature  Kelvin


pv = rt

divide both sides by v
pv/v = rt/v

p = rt/v

answer: p = rt/v




Ideal Gas Law: Density

PV = NRT
PV = mass/(mw)RT

mass/V = P (MW)/RT = density



Molar Mass:
Ideal Gas Law PV = NRT
PV = mass/(MW) RT
MW = mass * RT/PV


Measures of Gases:
Daltons Law of Partial Pressures; is the total pressure of a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Total = P_ A + P_ B

P_ A V = n_ A RT

P_ B V = n_ B R T



Partial Pressures in Gas Mixtures:
P_ total = P_ A + P_ B
P_ A = n_ A RT/V P_ B = n_ B RTV

P_ total = P_ A + P_ B = n_ total RT/V




For Ideal Gasses:


P_ A = n_ A RT/V P_ total = n_ toatal RT/V



P_ A/P_ total = n_ A RTV/n_ total RTV


= n_ A/n_ total = X_ A





Therefore, P_ A = X_ A P_ total.



PV = nRT


P pressure

V volume


n Number of moles


R Gas Constant


T temperture (Kelvin.).







Hope that helps!!!!!! Have a great day : )
