Periodic motion can BEST be defined as motion

Consider the concepts of kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (GPE) as you complete these questions. A ball is

Lena [83]

Answer:

When the ball is held motionless above the floor, the ball possesses only GPE energy.If the ball is dropped, its GPE energy decreases as it falls.If the ball is dropped, its KE energy increases as it falls.

Explanation:

If the ball is held motionless, then its kinetic energy is equal to zero, since kinetic energy depends on the velocity. And the ball is held above the ground, which means it possesses gravitational potential energy.

If the ball is dropped, its height will decrease, therefore its gravitational potential energy will decrease. Along the way, the ball will be in free fall, and therefore its velocity will increase, hence its kinetic energy.

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\U = mgh$

Which statement most accurately describes the second law of thermodynamics?

balandron [24]

Answer:

Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable energy

Explanation:

Second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy or the randomness of the system remains constant over time. It also states that the net entropy will remain the same or it will increase.

Entropy of a system is given by heat absorbed divided by temperature. It is given by :

$\Delta S=\dfrac{\Delta Q}{T}$

So, the correct option is (A) "Energy cannot be changed from one form to another without a loss of usable energy".

In the 1887 experiment by Michelson and Morley, the length of each interferometer arm was 11m. The experimental limit on the mea

Vikentia [17]

For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c).

fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c)

We can find (delta t) with the equation:

delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3

Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t):

600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13

2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes

This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.

At rest, hydrogen has a spectral line at 116 nm. if this line is observed at 107 nm for the star sirius, how fast is sirius movi

Citrus2011 [14]

2.3275862×10¹²km/s fast is sirius moving in km/s.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

Hydrogen has a spectral line at = 116nm=116×10⁻⁹m

Line is observed at = 107 nm=107×10⁻⁹m

Now, from the Hubble's law

V= $(\Delta \lambda / \lambda)$ ×C

Where,

v is the velocity

Δλ = Change in wavelength = 116 - 107= 9nm=9×10⁻⁹m

λ = Actual wavelength=116nm=116×10⁻⁹m

C is the speed of the light=3×10⁸m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

V=(9/116)×3×10⁸=23275862.069×10⁵m/s

V=2.3275862×10¹²km/s.

<h3>What is the wavelength?</h3>

A waveform signal's wavelength, which is the distance between two identical locations (adjacent crests) in the succeeding cycles, determines whether it is sent through space or via a wire. Typically, in wireless systems, this length is specified in meters (m), centimeters (cm), or millimeters (mm).
