Answer:

Option d) only its mechanical energy is conserved

Explanation:

Since, mechanical energy of a system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy.

Potential energy depends directly on height while kinetic energy depend on the speed of the body.

When the rock is dropped its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases while the potential energy is maximum at the top and kinetic energy was zero.

Therefore, these two energies are inter convertible and when one increases the other decreases and vice-versa keeping the overall mechanical energy conserved.

A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave from a radio station passes perpendicularly through an open window that has area of 0.500 m2 .
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The energy of the wave is 1.435 x 10⁻⁴ J

Explanation:

Given;

area of the window, A = 0.5 m²

the rms value of the field, E = 0.06 V/m

The peak value of electric field is given by;

E_o = \sqrt{2} *E_{rms}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{2}*0.06\\\\E_o = 0.0849 \ V/m

The average intensity of the wave is given by;

I_{avg} = \frac{c \epsilon_o E_o^2 }{2}\\\\I_{avg} =  \frac{(3*10^8)( 8.85*10^{-12}) (0.0849)^2 }{2}\\\\I_{avg} = 9.569*10^{-6} \ W/m^2

The average power of the wave is given by;

P = I x A

P = (9.569 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²) (0.5 m²)

P = 4.784 x 10⁻⁶ W

The energy of the wave is given by;

E = P x t

E = (4.784 x 10⁻⁶ W)(30 s)

E = 1.435 x 10⁻⁴ J

Therefore, the energy of the wave is 1.435 x 10⁻⁴ J

How can we predict how high a roller coaster can go knowing its velocity?
KatRina [158]
“to predict the speed that a coaster will reach before it is ever placed on the track. ... When coaster goes up by height h then its gravitational potential energy increases by the amount m.g.h where m = mass of coaster, h = height of coaster and g = gravitational acceleration due to Earth”
