Explanation There are so many examples, which can be considered to understand this fact. If once used energy cannot be regenerated like if the fuel is used as energy for any motor the output will be the speed of the motor which makes it impossible to regenerate the full form mechanical output. Energy cannot be generated by any means; however, it can only be converted from one form to another...

Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

A spring with unstretched length of 14.3 cm has a spring constant of 4.63 N/m. The spring is lying on a horizontal surface, and is attached at one end to a vertical post. The spring can move freely around the post. The other end of the spring is attached to a puck of mass m. The puck is set into motion in a circle around the post with a period of 1.32 s. Assume the surface is frictionless, and the spring can be described by Hooke's law. (a) What is the extension of the spring as a function of m? (Assume x is in meters and m is in kilograms. Do not include units in your answer.) x = Your answer cannot be understood or graded. More Information x Find x (in meters) for the following masses. (If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE.) (b) m = 0.0700 kg x Use your result from part (a), and insert the given value for m. m (c) m 0.140 kg × Use your result from part (a), and insert the given value for m. m (d) m = 0.180 kg x Use your result from part (a), and insert the given value for m. m (e) m =…

A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100 m, and its mass with occupants is 1 860 kg. It has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 98 times that of the Sun. The nose of the spacecraft points toward the black hole, and the distance between the nose and the center of the black hole is 10.0 km. 100 m- 10.0 km Black hole (a) Determine the total force on the spacecraft. The total force is determined by the distance from the black hole to the center of gravity of the ship which will be close to the midpoint. N (b) What is the difference in the gravitational fields acting on the occupants in the nose of the ship and on those in the rear of the ship, farthest from the black hole? (This difference in acceleration grows rapidly as the ship approaches the black hole. It puts the body of the ship under extreme tension and eventually tears it apart.) N/kg 2.56e+12
