An example of a system with decreasing gravitational potential energy is a ball in free fall. 

At its initial height h, the ball has a gravitational potential energy equal to
U=mgh
where m is the ball mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. As the ball falls toward the ground, its height h decreases, and so its gravitational potential energy decreases as well, according to the formula 
U=mgh'
where h' is the new height of the ball.

A 0.155 kg arrow is shot upward
solniwko [45]

Answer:

2.43J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the arrow = 0.155kg

Velocity = 31.4m /s

Unknown:

Kinetic energy when it leaves the bow = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy in motion of the body;

 it can be derived using the expression below:

 

   K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

 Solve for K.E;

    K.E  =  \frac{1}{2}  x 0.155 x 31.4 = 2.43J

The intensity of a sound wave at a fixed distance from a speaker vibrating at 1.00 kHz is 0.750 W/m2. (a) Determine the intensit
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a)   I = 3.63 W / m² , b)   I = 0.750 W / m²

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave is given by the relation

         I = P / A = ½ ρ v (2π f s_{max})²

         I = (½ ρ v 4π² s_{max}²) f²

a) with the initial condition let's call the intensity Io

        cte = (½ ρ v 4π² s_{max}²)

         I₀ = cte s² f₀²

        I₀ = cte 10 6

If frequency is increase f = 2.20 10³ Hz

         I = constant (2.20 10³) 2

         I = cte 4.84 10⁶

let's find the relationship of the two quantities

        I / Io = 4.84

        I = 4.84 Io

        I = 4.84 0.750

        I = 3.63 W / m²

b) in this case the frequency is reduced to f = 0.250 10³ Hz and the displacement s = 4 s or

        I = cte (f s)²

        I = constant (0.250 10³ 4)²

 

        I = cte 1 10⁶

         

the relationship

        I / Io = 1

        I = Io

        I = 0.750 W / m²

The magnetic field over a certain range is given by B~ = Bx ˆı + By ˆ, where Bx = 2 T and By = 4 T. An electron moves into the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force exerted in a magnetic field is given as

F = q (v × B)

Where

F is the force entered

q is the charge

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

Given that,

The magnetic field is

B = 2•i + 4•j. T

The velocity of the electron is

v = 2•i + 6•j + 8•k. m/s

Also, the charge of an electron is

q = -1.602 × 10^-19 C.

Then note that,

V×B is the cross product of the speed and the magnetic field

Then,

F = q (V×B)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19( 2•i + 4•j +8•k × 2•i + 4•j)

Note

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

F = -1.602 × 10^-19[(2•i + 4•j +8•k) × (2•i + 4•j)]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19 [2×2•(i×i) + 2×4•(i×j) + 4×2•(j×i) + 4×4•(j×j) + 8×2•(k×i) + 8×4•(k×j)]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19[4•0 + 8•k + 8•-k + 16•0 + 16•j + 32•-i]

F = -1.602 × 10^-19(0 + 8•k - 8•k + 0 + 16•j - 32•i)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19(16•j - 32•i)

F = -1.602 × 10^-19 × ( -32•i + 16•j)

F = 5.126 × 10^-18 •i - 2.563 × 10^-18 •j

Then, the x component of the force is

Fx = 5.126 × 10^-18 N

Also, the y component of the force is

Fy = -2.563 × 10^-18 N

At summer camp, the swimming course runs the length (L) of a small lake. To determine the length of the course, the camp counsel
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

47 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Length of dry leg 1 (L1) = 40 m

Length of dry leg 2 (L2) = 25 m

Length of swimming course (L) =..?

The length of the swimming course can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as shown below:

L² = L1² + L2²

L² = 40² + 25²

L² = 1600 + 625

L² = 2225

Take the square root of both side.

L = √2225

L = 47.1 ≈ 47 m

Therefore, the length of the swimming course is approximately 47 m.
