Assuming the object starts at rest, it is zero. However, if the object is thrown upward or downward, its inital velocity will not be zero.

In free fall there is no terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is a concept that applies when there is air resistance, but a fall without air resistance is not a free fall.

What are the characteristics of an open closed and isolated system?

open: matter and energy can pass freely in and out closed: only energy can pass freely isolated: nothing can pass freely


How do you find the momentum with no velocity?

It is unclear what you mean. If you mean that you want to find momentum but do not have a value for velocity then it depends on what physical system you are using. If you want to find the momentum of an object with a velocity equal to zero then the momentum is zero. Answer2. You can find the momentum from its the integral of its force impulse fdt = d(mv). The momentum is mv= integral of fdt.


Is the energy generated from falling water in a hydroelectric plant the same more or less than falling water?

It's less. There are "resistance" losses in any system, so not all the energy of the falling water can be changed into electric power. Certainly we can't get more energy out than is put in. Perpetual motion isn't an option here.


Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?

No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.


What determines speed?

Temperature is a major determinant of molecular velocity. By applying heat to a system molecular velocity increases, as does pressure and kinetic energy. The two physical and chemistry equations of the Ideal Gas Law and calculating kinetic energy through mass and velocity illustrate this relationship mathematically.

How does velocity change as the slope of the roller coaster gets steeper?

You're not giving quite enough information. At the moment you are interested in, is the roller coaster moving freely on the track, or is it under the control of a cog or other system? Is the roller coaster on its way down an incline, or on its way up?

Negative terminal is grounded to the vehicle. Because the system is a negative ground system. Electricity will not flow unless it has a path to ground.
