Q1. Describe how the skater's kinetic and potential energy change as the skater descends. Explain what happens to the total energy (potential energy + kinetic energy) in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Change the skater with the "Choose Skater" button.






Q2. Describe any changes to the bar graphs you see when you change skaters. Is the Law of Conservation of Energy still obeyed?

Reset the half-pipe and click on the "Show Grid" check box. Grab the track (drag the track with a right-click) and set the bottom of the track at "zero" height.
Select the default, 75 kg, PhET skater and set him at 5.0 meters above the zero and allow him to skate.
Q3. How much potential energy does the skater have at 5.0 meters? How much kinetic energy does the skater have at 0.0 meters?

Q4. If a 20.0 kg skater started his skate at 10 meters height (on Earth):
How much potential energy would the skater have at the start of skating?
How much kinetic energy would the skater have at the start of skating?
How much potential energy would the skater have at zero height?
How much kinetic energy would the skater have at zero height?


Create this skate path:


Start the skater on the left side and observe. Then answer the following question:
Q5. Does the skater have enough energy to make it all the way to the right side? Explain why or why not.

If the skater starts on the left on the following path:


Q6. Answer the parts of this question based upon the above skater path. If the skater starts at point "A":

Where does the skater have the maximum potential energy?
Where does the skater have the minimum potential energy?
Where does the skater have the minimum kinetic energy?
Where does the skater have the maximum kinetic energy?
At which two points would the skater have about the same kinetic energy?

Q7. Based upon the equation for potential energy, how do you expect the potential energy to change when the gravity is lower than it is on Earth (for example, gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2 )?

Use the option boxes to move the skater to Jupiter, where acceleration due to gravity is 26 m/s2.

Q8. Describe any differences you see in potential and kinetic energy between the Earth and Jupiter.
Use the option boxes to move the skater to the moon where the acceleration from gravity is 1.6 m/s2.

Q9. Describe any differences you see in potential and kinetic energy between the Earth and the moon.

Q10. Does this agree with the prediction you made in Q7?

Q11. How high must a 20 kg skater start at to have a kinetic energy of 360 joules at a height of 0 meters?

Q12. What is the total energy of the 60.0 kg skater before she starts her ride, 12 meters above the ground?

Q13. If you throw a 2.0 kg basketball straight up in the air, at what height will the basketball have 160 J of potential energy?

Q14. Describe what happens to the bar graphs when you change the amount of friction. Is the Law of Conservation of Energy still obeyed?

Answers

Answer 1

The kinetic energy of the skater would increase while his potential energy would decrease as he descends from top to bottom.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy possessed by a physical body can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can only be converted (transformed) from one form of energy to another.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the total energy (potential energy + kinetic energy) would always remain constant because it is conserved.

The potential energy of this skater at a height of 5.0 meters is given by:

PE = mgh

PE = 75 × 9.8 × 5.0

PE = 3,675 Joules.

Also, the kinetic energy of this skater at a height of 0.0 meters would be equal to zero assuming it is at rest.

In conclusion, the potential energy possessed by a physical body is highly dependent on its height while kinetic energy depends only on motion, regardless of height.

A particle's position (in meters) is given by the equation s(t) = 5x sin(2x), on the interval [-1, 4] minutes. What is its instantaneous velocity at t = 0?

Answers

You almost certainly meant to say the particle's position is a function of time t, not some other variable x (or vice versa) so that

s(t) = 5t sin(2t)

Differentiate s(t) to get the instantaneous velocity of the particle at time t. By the product rule,

s'(t) = 5 sin(2t) + 10t cos(2t)

Evaluate the derivative at t = 0 :

s'(0) = 0

The instantaneous velocity at t = 0 is 0 m/s.

To find the instantaneous velocity at t = 0, we need to take the derivative of the position function s(t) with respect to time (t). The derivative of s(t) gives us the velocity function v(t), which represents the particle's velocity at any given time t.

Given the position function s(t) = 5t * sin(2t), we find the velocity function v(t) by taking the derivative:

v(t) = d/dt (5t * sin(2t)).

To find the velocity at t = 0, we substitute t = 0 into the velocity function:

v(0) = 5 * 0 * sin(2 * 0) = 0.

Therefore, the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t = 0 is 0 m/s. This means that at t = 0, the particle is momentarily at rest, and its velocity is neither increasing nor decreasing at that specific moment.

A. speed
B. velocity
C inertia
D. force

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \huge\boxed {\sf Velocity}[/tex]

Explanation:

The unit of measurement is m/s hence it can not inertia or force because the unit of intertia and force are kg m² & kg⋅m/s² respectively, hence Option C and Option D can not be the right answer.

To understand the final answer one must know the difference between velocity and speed.

Velocity is a vector quantity which is direction specific. It's the displacement per unit time, the displacement is an vector quantity.

[tex] \sf \: Velocity = \frac{Displacement }{Time} [/tex]

Velocity can be positive negative or zero!

Speed is a scalar quantity which tells the distance covered in unit time. since it's a scalar it have magnitude only, not direction.

[tex] \sf \: Speed = \frac{Distance }{Time} [/tex]

Speed is always either zero or positive.

In the question it tells the baseball is flying through the air at 40 m/s east,

if it was only 40m/s with no direction then it would be speed. but the east is indicating the direction and velocity includes the direction hence the given measurement represents Velocity.

At the end stages of their lives, most stars will become: (A) Planetary nebulae (B) White dwarfs (C) Neutron stars (D) Black holes (E) Brown dwarfs (F) Both A and B

Answers

A star will become a white dwarf when its nuclear fuel is finished because of no more emission of heat and light.

What happen when a star comes to its end stage?

When the end of the nuclear burning stage of a star comes, such a star expels most of its outer material creating a planetary nebula until only the hot core remains. When this core settles down, it will become a young white dwarf.

So we can conclude that a star will become a white dwarf when its nuclear fuel is finished because of no more emission of heat and light.

The orbit is mainly a result of the mass of the sun

Earth has a definite orbit within the solar system whose the orbit is mainly a result of the mass of the Sun.

What is an orbit?

An orbit is defined as the regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another while an object in an orbit is called a satellite which may be natural, such as the Earth or the Moon. According to the height of satellites from the earth, these orbit are classified as

High Earth orbitMedium Earth orbitLow Earth orbit.

Most of the weather and some communications satellites will tend to have a high Earth orbit which is farthest away from the surface. The main difference between orbit and orbitals is that the former is defined as a fixed path of electron revolutions, whereas the latter is defined as an uncertain region with a high probability of finding an electron.

Therefore, the Earth has a definite orbit within the solar system whose the orbit is mainly a result of the mass of the Sun.
