The potential energy is most often referred to as the "energy at rest" and is dependent on the elevation of an object. This can be calculated through the equation,

     E = mgh

where E is the potential energy, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this item, we are not given with the mass of the cart so we assume it to be m. The force is therefore,

   E = m(9.8 m/s²)(0.5 m) = 4.9m

Hence, the potential energy is equal to 4.9m.

On a snowy day, when the coefficient of friction μs between a car’s tires and the road is 0.50, the maximum speed that the car c
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

28.1 mph

Explanation:

The force of friction acting on the car provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion around the curve, so we can write:

F=\mu mg = m \frac{v^2}{r} (1)

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

v is the maximum speed of the car

r is the radius of the trajectory

On the snowy day,

\mu=0.50\\v = 20 mph = 8.9 m/s

So the radius of the curve is

r=\frac{v^2}{\mu g}=\frac{(8.9)^2}{(0.50)(9.8)}=16.1 m

Now we can use this value and re-arrange again the eq. (1) to find the maximum speed of the car on a sunny day, when \mu=1.0. We find:

v=\sqrt{\mu g r}=\sqrt{(1.0)(9.8)(8.9)}=12.6 m/s=28.1 mph

How long does it take for Saturn's equatorial flow, moving at 1500km/h, to encircle the planet?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

252.45 hours or 908820 seconds

Explanation:

The equatorial radius of Saturn is 60,268 km

The length of the equator will be circumference

2\pi 60268

Speed of the equatorial flow = 1500 km/h

Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\dfrac{2\pi 60268}{1500}\\\Rightarrow Time=252.45\ h=252.45\times 60\times 60=908820\ s

It will take 252.45 hours or 908820 seconds for the equatorial flow to encircle the planet.

yan [13]
Thermal energy in the form of fire is generated by the combustion of fuel. Due to the tendency of hot air to rise upward, the heat generated rises to fill the space of the balloon. One this space is full of trapped hot air, the heat's tendency to rise causes the hot air balloon to be lifted into the air.
