A brick is dropped from rest from the top of a building through air (air resistance is present) to the ground below. how does th

e brick's kinetic energy just before reaching the ground compare with the gravitational potential energy at the top of the building? set zero height at the ground level. the comparison cannot be made since the information of air resistance is not given. kinetic energy just before reaching the ground < gravitational potential energy at the top of the building kinetic energy just before reaching the ground = gravitational potential energy at the top of the building kinetic energy just before reaching the ground > gravitational potential energy at the top of the building

The correct option is this: KINETIC ENERGY JUST BEFORE REACHING THE GROUND IS LESS THAN THE GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY AT THE TOP OF THE BUILDING.
When the object was on the top of the building, it has potential energy. This potential energy was converted to kinetic energy when the object started falling. In the process of falling, friction was present, which means that some of the energy will be converted to heat as a result of the friction. Therefore the kinetic energy of the falling object will be less than its potential energy, because some of the energy has been spent on friction.<span />

If a sound is 30 dB and its absolute pressure was 66 x 10-9 Pa, what must have been the reference pressure?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Given:

I = 30dB

P = 66 × 10^{-9} Pa

Solution:

Formula used:

I = 20\log_{10}(\frac{P}{P_{o}})           (1)

where,

I = intensity of sound

P = absolute pressure

P_{o} = reference pressure

Using Eqn (1), we get:

30 = 20\log _{10}\frac{66\times 10^{-9}}{P^{o}}

P_{o} = \frac{66\times 10^{-9}}{10^{1.5}}

P_{o} = 2.08 × 10^{-9} Pa

in three situations, a briefly applied horizontal force changes the velocity of a hockey puck that slides over frictionless ice.
victus00 [196]

The work done on the Puck by the applied force from the most positive to the most negative is c, b, a respectively.

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

F= \frac{mv}{t}

The force applied to an object increases with increases in the velocity of the object.

In the given diagram, the resultant velocity of the puck is calculated as follows;

Figure a:

\Delta v = v_f -v_i\\\\\Delta v = 5 - 6 = - 1 \ m/s

Figure b:

v = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} \\\\v = 5 \ m/s

Figure c:

\Delta v = 4 - (-2)\\\\\Delta v = 6 \ m/s

Thus, the work done on the Puck by the applied force from the most positive to the most negative is c, b, a respectively.

A microphone is attaced to a spring that is suspended from
kirill115 [55]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the amplitude and the Doppler effect. The difference between the maximum and minimum frequency detected by the microphone would be given by the mathematical function

f_{max} - f_{min} = 2 f_s (\frac{v_0}{v})

Here,

f_s= Source Frequency

v_0 = Speed of microphone

v = Speed sound

f_{max} - f_{min} = 2 f_s (\frac{v_0}{v})

Maximum speed of the microphone is

v_0 = f_{max} - f_{min} * \frac{v}{2f_s}

v_0= \frac{2.1Hz*343m/s}{2*440Hz}

v_0= 0.8185 m/s

Now the amplitude is

A = \frac{v_0}{2\pi/T}

Here T means the Period, then

A= \frac{0.8185 * 2.0}{2\pi}

A= 0.2605m

Therefore the amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is 0.2605m
