Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false

<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>

The distance between 4 nodes (3 sections, 2 sections= wavelength) is 15.0cm. The frequency of the source is 10Hz. What's the spe
Natalija [7]

Answer:

the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, f = 10 Hz = 10

distance between 4 nodes, L = 15.0 cm

The wavelength (λ) of the wave is calculated as follows;

Node to Node = λ/2

L = 2(Node to Node) = (4 Nodes) = 2 (λ/2) = λ

Thus, λ = L = 15.0 cm

The speed (v) of the wave is calculated as follows;

v = fλ

v =  10 Hz   x  15.0 cm

v = 150 cm/s

Therefore, the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

Light waves travel in straight lines in all directions from the source of the light, unless
Ainat [17]

A.  the medium through which the light travels changes.

Explanation:

Light waves will continue to travel in a straight line in all directions from their source unless the medium through which the light travels changes.

A change in medium causes light to exhibit different properties. Also, when light hits an obstacle, they can be diffracted.

  • The way light travels on crossing a boundary differs.
  • At the boundary between two medium, light can either be reflected back or refracted when they cross the medium
  • This will cause the light rays to bend towards or away from the normal depending on the properties of the medium.

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) n_{2} = 1.349

(c) v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, n_{1} = 1.47

Angle of refraction for medium 1, \theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}

Angle of refraction for medium 2, \theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}

where

n_{2} = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}

n_{2} = 1.349

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}

Thus for medium 1

n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}

v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}

v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

A pebble is released from rest at a certain height and falls freely, reaching an impact speed of 6 m/s at the floor. Next, the p
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let h be the height .

initial velocity in first case u = 0

final velocity v = 6 m /s

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m /s²

v² = u² + 2 g h

6² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 1.837 m .

For second case u = 3 m /s

v² = u² + 2 gh

= 3² + 2 x 1.837 x 9.8

= 9 + 36

= 45 m

v = 6.7 m /s
