In the absence of air resistance, a falling rock gains kinetic energy and loses potential energy, while the total energy of the

rock remains constant. In the presence of air resistance, however, the rock eventually reaches terminal velocity. Now the kinetic energy is constant, but the potential energy continues to decrease as the rock falls toward the ground. Why is some energy missing?

Answer:

Total energy of a system always remains constant

Explanation:

In this particular case a work against air resistance  have to be done, and this is equal of the decrease in potencial energy.

The principle of energy conservation sates that energy is not created  or lost

but is transformed

A particle of mass m= 2.5 kg has velocity of v = 2 i m/s, when it is at the origin (0,0). Determine the z- component of the angu
melomori [17]

Answer:

please read the answer below

Explanation:

The angular momentum is given by

|\vec{L}|=|\vec{r}\ X \ \vec{p}|=m(rvsin\theta)

By taking into account the angles between the vectors r and v in each case we obtain:

a)

v=(2,0)

r=(0,1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

b)

r=(0,-1)

angle = 90°

L=(2.5kg)(1)(2\frac{m}{s})sin90\°=5.0kg\frac{m}{s}

c)

r=(1,0)

angle = 0°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

d)

r=(-1,0)

angle = 180°

r and v are parallel

L = 0kgm/s

e)

r=(1,1)

angle = 45°

L = (2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin45\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

f)

r=(-1,1)

angle = 45°

the same as e):

L = 5kgm/s

g)

r=(-1,-1)

angle = 135°

L=(2.5kg)(2\frac{m}{s})(\sqrt{2})sin135\°=5kg\frac{m}{s}

h)

r=(1,-1)

angle = 135°

the same as g):

L = 5kgm/s

hope this helps!!

A 2.0-m-tall man is 5.0 m from the converging lens of a camera. His image appears on a detector that is 50 mm behind the lens. H
ladessa [460]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the magnification equation:

M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}=-\frac{q}{p}

where

h_i is the size of the image

h_o = 2.0 m is the height of the real object (the man)

q=50 mm =0.050 m is the distance of the image from the lens

p = 5.0 m is the distance of the object (the man) from the lens

Solving the formula for h_i, we find

h_i = -\frac{q}{p}h_o=-\frac{0.050 m}{5.0 m}(2.0 m)=-0.02 m = -20 cm

And the negative sign means the image is inverted.

Explain why it takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron fr
slava [35]
It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>
