We know that there is a relationship between work and mechanical energy change. Whenever work is done upon an object by an external force (or non-conservative force), there will be a change in the total mechanical energy of the object. If only internal forces are doing work then there is no change in the total amount of mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy is said to be conserved. Think of a real-life situation where we make use of this conservation of mechanical energy (where we can neglect external forces for the most part). Describe your example and speak to both the kinetic and potential energy of the motion.

* roller skates and ice skates.

* roller coaster

Explanation:

One of the best examples for this situation is when we are skating, in the initial part we must create work with a force, it compensates to move, after this the external force stops working and we continue movements with kinetic energy, if there are some ramps, we can going up, where the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and when going down again it is transformed into kinetic energy. This is true for both roller skates and ice skates.

Another example is the roller coaster, in this case the motor creates work to increase the energy of the car by raising it, when it reaches the top the motor is disconnected, and all the movement is carried out with changes in kinetic and potential energy. In the upper part the energy is almost all potential, it only has the kinetic energy necessary to continue the movement and in the lower part it is all kinetic; At the end of the tour, the brakes are applied that bring about the non-conservative forces that decrease the mechanical energy, transforming it into heat.

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by mathematical calculations before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of uranus led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.

Answer from: Quest

Alinear relationship would look like a straight line on the graph. it could have a positive negative or 0 slope. so it could be a line potentially going in any direction but it must be perfectly straight.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

On a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 3.00 m/s.(a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? (b) is this collision elastic?
