The mass of ball a is twice the mass of ball b:
This means that the initial potential energy of ball a (
) is twice the potential energy of ball b (
):
When the two balls reach the ground, the potential energy of each ball has converted into kinetic energy (since now their altitude is h=0), because the total mechanical energy of each ball must be conserved. Therefore:
and so the kinetic energy of ball a must be twice the kinetic energy of ball b:
Answer:
Because as the waves propagates, the particles of the medium (molecules of water) vibrates perpendicularly (upward and downward) about their mean position and not in the direction of the waves.
Explanation:
A wave is a phenomena which causes a disturbance in a medium without any permanent deformation to the medium. Examples are; transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Waves transfer energy from one point in the medium to another.
The waves generated by water are transverse waves. Which are waves in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves.
Thus as the waves propagates, the molecules of water vibrates up and down and not along the direction of propagation of the waves. So that the floating objects do not get pushed in the direction of the waves every time.
As the Earth rotates on it’s axis we perceive the sky differently depending on where we are. This is known as a day, where the Earths rotation controls the day/night cycle. As Earth orbits the sun our axis wobbles, thus at different times in the year different regions of the Earth can see different areas in the sky.
Hope this helps!
W = 4.9N. The weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5Kg is 4.9N.
The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and can be defined as the product of the mass by the acceleration of gravity, w = mg.
W = (0.5Kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 4.9N
