Heat energy caused by friction is usually a waste product that results when energy is destroyed or dissappears.
Friction converts useful kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat. Friction gets a bad rap for turning useful energy into useless energy.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The wave speed is 2.8 m.

Explanation:

Wavelength = 1.4 m

frequency, f = 2 Hz

the wave speed is given by

wave speed = wavelength x frequency

wave speed = 1.4 x 2 = 2.8 m

option (D) is correct.

ball A of mass 5.0 kg moving at 20 meters per second collides with ball B of unknown mass moving at 10. meters per second in the

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:The mass of ball B is 10 kg.

Explanation;

Mass of ball A = $M_A=5 kg$

Velocity of the ball A before collision: $U_A=20 m/s$

Velocity of ball A after collision= $V_A=10 m/s$

Mass of ball B= $M_B$

Velocity of the ball B before collision: $U_B=10 m/s$

Velocity of ball B after collision= $V_B=15 m/s$

$M_AV_A+M_BV_B=M_AU_A+M_BU_B$

$5 kg\times 10 m/s+M_B\times 15=5 kg\times 20m/s+M_B\times 10m/s$

$M_B=10kg$

The mass of ball B is 10 kg.

Suppose you observe two stars and you know they have the same luminosity. If one star is twice as far away as the other, the mor

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The farther star will appear 4 times fainter than the star that is near to the observer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that the luminosity of the 2 stars is same thus they radiate the same energy per unit time

Consider a spherical wave front of energy 'E' that leaves both the stars (Both radiate 'E' as they have same luminosity)

This Energy is spread over the whole surface area of sphere Thus when the wave front is at a distance 'r' the energy per unit surface area is given by

$e_{1}=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}$
