  1. mechanical energy is conserved in all the listed situations
  2. true
  3. potential energy
  4. 490 J
  5. 750,000 J

EXPLANATION

1. sum of kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) is known as          mechanical energy

  • kinetic energy is the motion of an object
  • potential energy is the position of an object

there is kinetic energy and other energies in the listed situation.

2. since the height decreases due to the fall, the potential energy also decreases but the speed increases and kinetic energy simultaneously increases so the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

3.the energy consumed by an object due to its position is known as potential energy

4. potential energy

        PE = m g h

      m = 10 kg mass of the object

      g = 9.8 m/s^2 acceleration of gravity

      h= 5 m height of the object from ground

substituting every value in the formula

   PE = (10)(9.8)(5)

   PE= 490 J

5. potential energy

      PE = m g h

but given is the weight and the height of the elevator

      W= 1500 N

       h= 500 m

but weight of the object is equal to the product of acceleration of gravity and mass of the elevator  

so,     W = mg

so we can rewrite the formula as PE = Wh

PE = (1500)(500)

PE= 750,000 J

A sudden discharge of static electricity during a thunderstorm is called

Hello
It is called lightning. Lightning in a storm occurs when there are two regions (it can be cloud-cloud or cloud-ground), one with a strong excess of positive charges and the other one with a strong excess of negative charges. The two types of charge attract each other, and then a sudden flow of charges from one region to the other occurs, which is called lightning.

What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.

A charge partides round a 1 m radius circular particle accelerator at nearly the speed of light. Find : (a) The period (b) The c
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular particle accelerator, r = 1 m

The distance covered by the particle is equal to the circumference of the circular path, d = 2πr

d = 2π × 1 m

(a) The speed of satellite is given by total distance divided by total time taken as :

speed=\dfrac{distance}{time}

Let t is the period of the particle.

t=\dfrac{d}{s}

d = distance covered

s = speed of particle

It is given that the charged particle is moving nearly with the speed of light

t=\dfrac{d}{c}

t=\dfrac{2\pi\times 1\ m}{3\times 10^8\ m/s}

t=2.09\times 10^{-8}\ s

(b) On the circular path, the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{c^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^8\ m/s)^2}{1\ m}

a=9\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.
