A stuffed toy with a mass of 0.900 kilograms sits on the edge of a bed at a height of 0.830 if the toy falls off the bed what wi

Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.

Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).

At the start:

ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J

If Sherry took her pulse for 6 seconds and felt 14 beats, What would her heart rate be?
Schach [20]

Answer:

140 beats per minute

Explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute and we know that Sherry felt 14 beats in 6 seconds if you multiply 6 by 10 you get 60 seconds which can be 1 minute. Then you multiply 14 by 10 since you 14 by 10 since you multiplied 6 by 10 and you get 140 beats per minute.

Show that atmosphere exerts pressure.
Maru [420]

Because gas particles in the air like particles of all fluids are constantly moving and bumping into things, they exert pressure. The pressure exerted by the air in the atmosphere is greater close to Earth's surface and decreases as you go higher above the surface.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Fill roughly one-third of a cup with water. Then, cover the mouth of the cup completely with a flat, hard cardboard. Using your hand to keep it in place, turn the cup upside down. When you remove your hand, the the cardboard stays in place.
  • One would expect that due to gravity, the water will fall, and even the cardboard will. However, it does not, which means that something must be applying an upward force on the cardboard. This is nothing other than air pressure, which applies a force across the surface of the cardboard in an upward direction.
  • Thus we can demonstrate that air exerts pressure, because otherwise, the water would have fallen.

The frequency of the light beam is 4.72 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

<h3>Frequency of the light beam</h3>

The frequency of light beam and wavelength of light is related in the following equations;

c = fλ

where;

  • c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
  • f is the frequency
  • λ is the wavelength

f = c/λ

f = (3 x 10⁸) / (636 x 10⁻⁹)

f = 4.72 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Thus, the frequency of the light beam is 4.72 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

a 4 kg bowling ball videos rolling down a lane at bowling alley at 6 m/s when the ball strikes the pins is moving your 5.1 m/sho
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

19.98Joules

Explanation:

Energy possessed by the body is the kinetic energy

Kinetic Energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

For the 4kg moving at 6m/s

kE = 1/2 * 4 * 6^2

KE = 1/2 * 4 * 36

KE = 72Joules

For the 4kg moving at 5.1m/s

kE = 1/2 * 4 * 5.1^2

KE = 1/2 * 4 *26.01

KE = 52.02Joules

Amount of Energy lost = 72 - 52.02

Amount of Energy lost = 19.98Joules

Hence the amount of Energy lost is 19.98Joules
