Across
- 2. vertical coordinate at which gravitational potential energy is not existent
- 3. motion defines this type of energy
- 7. (round to nearest whole number)Tarzan steps out of his house and grabs a hanging vine to swing to the ground. If his house is 11.3 m above the ground, what is Tarzan's speed when he reaches the ground? Assume there is no friction and that Tarzan has a mass of 105 kg. The final height is 0 m, and the initial speed is 0 m/s. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2
- 9. the sum of kinetic energy and all potential energy
- 10. the product of the component of a force along the direction of displacement and the magnitude of the displacement
- 11. energy depends of distance compressed or stretched
- 12. a parameter that is a measure of a spring's resistance to being compressed or stretched
- 16. Greek letter used to denote sum
- 17. A student slides a 0.75kg textbook across a table,and it comes to rest after traveling 1.2m. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the table is 0.34,use the work–kinetic energy theorem to find the book’s initial speed. Round to the nearest whole number.
Down
- 1. energy associated with an object's position relative to some zero level
- 4. nuclear, chemical, electrical or examples of this kind of energy
- 5. stored energy
- 6. unit of work or energy in the international system of units
- 8. Greek letter used to denote change
- 13. spring's length when no external forces are acting on it
- 14. when something remains unchanged
- 15. A small 10.0 g ball is held to a slingshot that is stretched 6.0 cm. The spring constant is 2.0 x 10^2 N/m. What is the elastic potential energy stored in the slingshot before it is released? _____ thousandths joules.
