Change in Energy Quick Check

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

FORCE OF GRAVITY:

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. The statement is false.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. The statement is true.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. The statement is false.

But, this change is not significant.

KINETIC ENERGY:

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. The statement is false.

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?

GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

"a musical tone sounded on a piano has a frequency of 261.6 hz and a wavelength of 1.31 m. what is the speed of the sound wave

Andreyy89

To solve this question, we use the wave equation which is:
C=f*λ
where:
C is the speed;
f is the frequency;
λ is the wavelength
So in this case, plugging in our values in the problem. This will give us:
C = 261.6Hz × 1.31m
= 342.696 m/s is the answer.

If you had 8 balls and 7 of them were a certain weight, and 1 of them was heavier, how could you find the heaviest ball. All the

dybincka [34]

Answer:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance 2) by only 2 weighings.

Explanation:

There are two method of comparing the balls 1) using a balance 2) by only 2 weighings.

Make the following groups - --- (1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8)

Step 1. compare the Weigh (1,2,3) and (4,5,6)

there are 2 possible outcomes:

1---both the group are of same weight. and named as (Case A)

2--- one of the group is heavier than other and named as (Case B)

Step 2. Let examine both case

In Case A --in this case, now compare the weight of 7th and 8th ball. By this you have recognize the heavier ball by 2 weighing method.

In Case B -- considered the heaviest group (assume group (1,2,3) is heavy), from this group take randomly two ball and compare the their weight. out of these two ball, one is heavy else the third ball is.
