Given:
m = 4 kg, the mass of the object
h = 5 m, distance fallen

Neglect air resistance.

The PE (potential energy) is 
PE = mgh = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(5 m) = 196 J

The PE is converted into KE (kinetic energy) after the fall. 
Therefore the PE decreased by 196 J ≈ 200 J

Answer: d. It has decreased by 200 J

Ainat [17]
1,000 W  =  1 kW
100 W  =  0.1 kW

           (0.1 kW) x (6 h) = 0.6 kWh    <=== energy

           (0.6 kWh) x (£0.1359/kWh)  =  £0.0815     <=== cost of it

Which of the following statement(s) about energy and phase is/are correct? Select all that apply. Choose one or more: A. While o
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Option (A) and (D) are the correct statements.

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to its position. Whereas kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to  the motion of its molecules.

When there will be only one phase present then addition or removal of energy will lead to change in kinetic energy of the substance but no change in potential energy will take place.

Whereas if change in phase is occurring then adding or removing any energy will lead to change in potential energy of the substance while kinetic energy will remain the same.

Thus, we can conclude that correct statements are as follows.

  • While only one phase is present, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.
  • During a phase change, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.

NASA communicates with the Space Shuttle and International Space Station using Ku-band microwave radio. Suppose NASA transmits a
jeyben [28]

Answer:

λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m,   λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m  

Explanation:

Microwave communication is very efficient because it does not have atmospheric interference, for which it is widely used and has been regulated to avoid interference, the ku band is in the range between 12 and 18 GHz.

Let's calculate the wavelength for the two extreme frequencies of this band

wavelength and frequency are related

         c = λ f

          λ = c / f

f₁ = 12 GHz = 12 10⁹ Hz

          λ₁ = 3 10⁸ /12 10⁹

           λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m

f₂ = 18 GHz = 18 10⁹ Hz

          λ₂ = 3 10⁸ /18 10⁹

          λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m

Unfortunately in your exercise the specific frequency is not fired, for significant figures they must be the same number as the figures of the frequency, in general the frequency has 3 or 4 significant figures

which measurment describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree celsius?
ella [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Specific Heat

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specific heat is the measurement which describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius.

It is the amount of heat required per unit mass to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius. The relationship between heat and the temperature change is usually expressed as shown below:

Q=cmΔT

where Q = heat added,

c= specific heat,

m=mass; and

ΔT = change in temperature
