Define mechanical energy in your own words. Give an example of the last time you used mechanical energy.

Agenerator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. when a coil placed between two magnets rotates, the magnetic lines of force are disturbed. this induces a current in the coil. the image below shows a generator. what could be done to make the lamp brighter? a. decrease the size of the magnets b. turn the coil slower c. change the polarity of the magnets d. turn the coil faster

Space-time metric ds2= -dt2+at2dx2+bt2dy2+ct2dz2 (a)how does the area of a rectangle with vertices at ( x=0, y=0, z=0 ), (1,0,0 ), ( 0,1,0 ) and (1,1,0 ) changes with time? (b) if a photon moving in the x direction starts from the origin at t=1, when does it reach x=l? (ds=0 for the trajectory of a photon.) (c) the proper time for a particle is defined by cd=ds. what is the proper time for a particle to move along the trajectory ( x(t)=t, y(t)=0, z(t)=0 ) from t=0 to 1 ? what is the condition on the parameter a so that the velocity of the particle never exceeds the speed of light ?

This energy transformation diagram represents the energy of a skateboarder moving along a half-pipe. as she skates toward the top of the half-pipe, her original kinetic energy is converted to potential energy and friction. how much of the energy is potential?
