A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

Is there an eclipse happening soon in England
lyudmila [28]

A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.

England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.

For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge.  It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM.  Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.

The catch in observing the eclipse is:

                       <em><u>YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN</u></em>.

Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though <em><u>you don't feel it while it's happening</u></em>.

This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours.  Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm
