What is the gravitational potential energy of a 0.1 kg apple sitting on top of a 12.5 m flagpole? Note: GPE= mgh. m= mass, g= ac

celeration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2),
h= objects height above the ground.

<span>GPE= mgh = 0.1 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 12.5m = 12.25 J</span>

Your iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave p

Umnica [9.8K]

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is
v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is
f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

Because velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ, is given by
fλ = v
λ = v/f
= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)
= 1/3 m

Answer: 1/3 m

Which scenario will drain the battery in the circuit diagram fastest: three 20 W bulbs in positions one, two, and three or 80 W

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

If you connect the three bulbs 20 W each will have a total power of 60W.

Now we need to understand to assign the meaning of the word gap, that is, if the circuit is open at that point or if there is no bulb connected at that point.

If the circuit is open at Point 2, there will be no current in the circuit, so the battery will drain faster with the three bulbs 20W.

In the second event, where gap means that there are no bulbs connected at that point, it means that you have two bulbs connected in series of 80W each.

In this case the bulbs will consume 160W thus drain the battery faster than the three 20W bulbs connected in series.

How do you know that forces are balanced when static friction acts on an object?

lyudmila [28]

By looking at the acceleration of the object.
In fact, Netwon's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass m of the object and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$

So, when static friction is acting on the object, if the object is still not moving we know that all the forces are balanced: in fact, since the object is stationary, its acceleration is zero, and so the resultant of the forces (left term in the formula) must be zero as well (i.e. the forces are balanced).
