Energy Conservation Problem-Solving Steps

Description

Energy conservation problem-solving uses a clear set of steps. First, identify the system you want to study. In many cases, that system includes more than one body at the same time.

Next, identify the forces acting on the object and decide whether each force is conservative. A conservative force ...

回顾能量守恒定律以解决数值问题。

一块质量为 20 千克的岩石位于高度为 5 米的悬崖边缘。在沿悬崖滑下后,其速度为 9 米每秒。该岩石的内能变化是多少?

此处,岩石的质量、岩石距地面的高度以及岩石滑下后的速度均为已知量,而内能的变化为未知量。

最初,岩石的动能为零,而根据岩石的重量和高度计算出的势能为 980 焦耳。

滑动后,岩石的势能为零,根据质量和速度计算出的动能为810焦耳。

最后,将动能和势能的变化值代入能量守恒定律方程,可得岩石内能的变化为 170 焦耳。
