calculate the velocity of a particle at a certain point in an arbitrary potential given its initial conditions?

Using conservation of energy i.e calculating the total kinetic and potential energy at a trivial point, then solving for the velocity at the point in question by knowing the potential energy of the partic...

A rock fragment weighing 50N is displaced from the top of a cliff and falls 0.12 km to the ground. Calculate the kinetic energy (in J) of the rock just before it hits the ground. Assume air resistance is negligible.

Applying the law of conversation of energy, the gravitational potential energy (GPE) stored by the rock before falling is transformed into other types of energy as it falls. Without any external forces ac...

Calculate the time taken for 1000L of water at rtp to be heated to 40degrees celsius using a 40kW heater

First the starting parameters of the fluid should be calculated, so at rtp the density of water is 1kg/L therefore mass is 1000kg and the temperature is 20 degrees C. The next step would be to plug these ...
