<span>when it returns to its original level after encountering air resistance, its kinetic energy is decreased. 
In fact, part of the energy has been dissipated due to the air resistance.

The mechanical energy of the ball as it starts the motion is:
</span>E=K = 100 J
<span>where K is the kinetic energy, and where there is no potential energy since we use the initial height of the ball as reference level.
If there is no air resistance, this total energy is conserved, therefore when the ball returns to its original height, the kinetic energy will still be 100 J. However, because of the presence of the air resistance, the total mechanical energy is not conserved, and part of the total energy of the ball has been dissipated through the air. Therefore, when the ball returns to its original level, the kinetic energy will be less than 100 J.</span>

If a truck loses 5610 J of energy as it slows down due to an external force of 425 N, what distance will it have moved after the
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

13.2m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Energy= 5610J

Force F= 425N

Required

The distance traveled

Step two:

We know that work done is given as

WD= force* distance

so

5610=425*d

divide both sides by 425

d= 5610/425

d=13.2m

What is the acceleration of a 10kg mass pushed by a 5N force?​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

<h2>0.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

From the question we have

a =  \frac{5}{10} =  \frac{1}{2}   \\  = 0.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.5 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A sinusoidal transverse wave travels along a long, stretched string. The amplitude of this wave is 0.08190.0819 m, its frequency
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 0.08190 m

Frequency = 2.29 Hz

Wavelength = 1.87 m

(a). We need to calculate the shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave

Using formula of distance

d=2A

Where, d = distance

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

d=2\times0.08190

d=0.1638\ m

Hence, The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.
