Answer:

19.6 J

Explanation:

Hello

The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in any isolated physical system remains unchanged over time, although this energy can be transformed into another form of energy,  in this case we initially have gravitational potential energy (due to height and gravity) and then it is transformed into kinetic energy (due to the movement)

E_{g} =mgh

where m is the mass , g the gravity and h the height

E_{k} =\frac{m*v^{2} }{2}

assuming that there is no air resistance the energy is conserved

E_{g} =E_{k} \\mgh = \frac{m*v^{2} }{2} \\\\

E_{g} =mgh = 0.2 kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } *10 m\\\\E_{g}=19.6 Joules\\ E_{g}=E_{k}=19.6 J\\

the energy it has right before it hits the ground is 19.6 J

I hope it helps.

A solid weighs 16.5N on the surface of the moon. The force of gravity on the moon is 1.7N/Kg.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

mass = 9.7 kg

Explanation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)

16.5 = mass x 1.7

mass = \frac{16.5}{1.7} = 9.7 kg

A 4.0kg block is sliding with a constant velocity of 3.0m/s on a frictionless table that is 0.5m high. If all of the block’s ene
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Velocity = 4.33[m/s]

Explanation:

The total energy or mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, as it is known the velocity and the height, we can determine the total energy.

E_{M}=E_{p}  + E_{k} \\E_{p} = potential energy [J]\\E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]\\where:\\E_{p} =m*g*h\\E_{p} = 4*9.81*0.5=19.62[J]\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}  \\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *4*(3)^{2} \\E_{k}=18[J]\\Therefore\\E_{M} =18+19.62\\E_{M}=37.62[J]

All this energy will become kinetic energy and we can find the velocity.

37.62=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{37.62*2}{4} } \\v=4.33[m/s]

A lifeguard on a beach observes that waves have a speed of 7 m/s and a distance of 4.6m between wave crests. what is the period
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec

How does sound intensity differ from loudness?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Sound intensity is the amount of energy carried by sound versus loudness is a subjective measurement of the audible sound.

Sound intensity is measured in watt per square meter where loudness is measured in sones (sone is a subjective measurement and not an SI unit)
