Answer:
Starting from the beginning.
There is a radio signal that is received by the radio.
The radio interprets the signal and produces a current in response to it.
That current goes to a membrane that oscillates producing sound, the oscillation of the membrane is the first mechanical energy event here.
These oscillations can travel in material mediums, for example, the air. Then there is a production of waves (soundwaves) that travel in the air (second event).
Those waves now hit the wall that separates you and your neighbor, as the wall is made of a material, the soundwaves can travel through it, but they will be dispersed (a part of the waves rebounds on the wall, and another part is dissipated as the wave travels through the wall), there is also a transmitted part of the wave, that is now in your house. (this change of medium will be the third event). Now only the lower frequencies survive, this is why the sound is "muffled".
Those remaining frequencies now travel in your house, and when they reach your ear, your ear sends a signal to your brain and your brain interprets them as sound. The wave interacting with your ear will be the fourth and last mechanical energy event.
In order to calculate the thermal energy, first let's calculate the power, using the formula:
For a voltage V = 9 Volts and a resistance R = 50 ohms, we have:
Now, multiplying the power by the time (in seconds), we can find the energy:
In scientific notation, we have an energy of 7.3 * 10^2 J, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.
Answer:
If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.
If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.
Explanation:
If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.
On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.
Answer:
1.65
Explanation:
The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:
(1)
where
F = 65 N is the force applied with the push
is the frictional force
m = 4 kg is the mass
is the acceleration
The force of friction can be written as 
(2), where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
R is the normal force exerted by the floor
The equation of forces along the vertical direction is
(3)
since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find
And solving for ,
