1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant
Yuri [45]

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h =  Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

                             = 39.2 J

•• CP Two blocks connected by a light horizontal rope sit at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block AA has mass 15.0
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

(a) T= 38.4 N

(b) m= 26.67 kg

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Kinematics

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² (Formula 2)

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

v₀=0, d=18 m , t=5 s

We apply the formula 2 to calculate the accelerations of the blocks:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

18= 0+  (1/2)*a*(5)²

a= (2*18) / ( 25) = 1.44 m/s² to the right

We apply Newton's second law to the block A

∑Fx = m*ax

60-T = 15*1.44

60 - 15*1.44 = T

T = 38.4 N

We apply Newton's second law to the block B

∑Fx = m*ax

T = m*ax

38.4 = m*1.44

m= (38.4) / (1.44)

m = 26.67 kg

Amber asked her roommate to turn down the radio because she was trying to study. Her roommate had increased the volume from a vo
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Difference threshold or also Just Noticeable Difference

Explanation:

The above mentioned case between room mates, where one room mate was able to detect a minute change in volume shows an instance of the difference threshold.

Difference threshold can be defined as stimulation at its minimum level that can be detected by an individual almost 50 % of the times.

It is the lowest possible level of sound that is detectable by a person.

That is what happened in the mentioned case that when the volume was increased from 14 to 15, Amber was able to detect it.

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long. How long is the ot
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Two open organ pipes, sounding together, produce a beat frequency of 8.0 Hz . The shorter one is 2.08 m long.

How long is the other pipe?

From above;

The formula for the frequency of open ended pipes can be expressed as:

f = \dfrac{nv}{2L}

where n = 1 ( since half wavelength exist between those two pipes)

v = 343 m/s  and L = 2.08 m

Thus, the shorter pipe produces a frequency of :

f = \dfrac{1*343}{2*2.08}

f = \dfrac{343}{4.16}

f =82.45 \ Hz

Also; we know that the beat frequency was given as 8.0 Hz

Then,

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = ( 82.45 - 8.0 )Hz

The lower frequency of the longer pipe = 74.45 Hz

Finally;

From the above equation; make Length L the subject of the formula. Then,

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{nv}{2f}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{1*343}{2*74.45}

The length of the longer pipe is L = \dfrac{343}{148.9}

The length of the longer pipe is L = 2.30 m
