Answer: a dark (absorption) line

Explanation:

This is as a result of absorption of electromagnetic a specific wavelength. The pattern followed by such lines is characteristic of specific atoms in the path of radiation.

2. As a pendulum swings, its energy is constantly converted between kinetic
Alex

Answer:

at point F

Explanation:

To know the point in which the pendulum has the greatest potential energy you can assume that the zero reference of the gravitational energy (it is mandatory to define it) is at the bottom of the pendulum.

Then, when the pendulum reaches it maximum height in its motion the gravitational potential energy is

U = mgh

m: mass of the pendulum

g: gravitational constant

The greatest value is obtained when the pendulum reaches y=h

Furthermore, at this point the pendulum stops to come back in ts motion and then the speed is zero, and so, the kinetic energy (K=1/mv^2=0).

A) answer, at point F

A piece of taffy slams into and sticks to another identical piece of taffy that is at rest. The momentum of the two pieces stuck
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

C. 50%

Explanation:

Lets consider that the mass of taffy is m and its initial velocity is u and final velocity is v. Momentum is conserved so we can write it as,

mu = 2mv\\v = \frac{u}{2} \\

The initial kinetic energy = \frac{mu^{2} }{2}

As the Kinetic energy partly converted into heat.

The final kinetic energy = \frac{m(\frac{u}{2})^{2}  }{2} = \frac{mu^{2} }{4}

Change in the kinetic energy = \frac{mu^{2} }{2} - \frac{mu^{2} }{4} = \frac{mu^{2} }{4}

now we can determine the fraction of kinetic energy that has turned into heat

                           = \frac{Heat energy}{initial K.E} = \frac{\frac{mu^{2} }{4} }{\frac{mu^{2} }{2} }  = 1/2

                           = 50%
