The average reaction time of Gemma is 0.1564 seconds.

As we know, Gemma is catching the scale and Emily is dropping the scale.

The whole experiment is taking place under gravity, so the acceleration is constant.

As we know, the scale is dropped, it means that the initial velocity of the scale is zero.

We can use the equation of motion,

The equation is,

S = Ut + 1/2at²

Where,

S is the displacement, which is 0.12 m in our case,

U is initial velocity which is 0m/s because the stone is dropped,

t is the time taken, this is equal tot he reaction time here,

a is the acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8m/s.

Now, putting all the values,

0.12 = 1/2(9.8)(t)²

t² = 0.24/9.8

t = 0.1564 seconds.

Gemma reacts in 0.1564 seconds to catch the scale.

Two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. If wave X has a greater frequency than wave Y
____ [38]

Answer:

Wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

The relation between the speed of a wave, its wavelength and frequency is given by :

v=f\lambda

It can be seen that the relationship between the frequency and wavelength is inverse.

In this problem, it is mentioned that two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. The frequency of wave X is greater than wave Y. Then it would mean that wave X have shorter wavelength than wave Y (due to inverse relation).

Suppose a ball had a potential energy of 5 J when you dropped it.What would be it’s kinetic energy just as it hit the ground?
timama [110]

Answer:

Due to Conservation of Energy just as the ball hits the ground it's potential energy is assumed zero

Therefore disregarding air resistance all energy is converted into potential energy.

So KE = PE  

(5 J)

A 400.0 kg storage box is held 10 m above ground by a forklift. What is its gravitational potential energy? (PE = mgh)
castortr0y [4]

Answer: D.) 39,200 J

Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height.  In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:

P.E.=(400kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2} )(10m)=39,200 J

P.E.= 39,200 Joules
