According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.

Three 7 0hm resistors are connected in series across a 10 V battery. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Tomtit [17]

Given

Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.

The battery is V=10V

To find

The equivalent resistance

Explanation

When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.

Thus the equivalent resistance is:

R=7+7+7=21\Omega

Conclusion

The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm

What factors affect the speed of water waves
Aneli [31]
Hey there,

Your question states: What factors affect the speed of water waves
Let's get one thing out the way, (wavelength) does NOT affect the the speed of water. If anything, it would be how high the wavelength's are. The higher the wavelengths are, the more that it would affect the speed, because there very high, but if it were to go longer on the width side, that would increase the speed, but that's not the case. Your correct answer would be (higher wavelength).

Hope this really helps you.

The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of 3 m is read to be 39 kPa. Determine the gage pressure in the same liquid at a depth
ioda

Answer: 117 kPa

Explanation:

For the liquid at depth 3 m, the gauge pressure is equal to = P₁=39 kPa

For the liquid at depth 9m, the gauge pressure is equal to= P₂

Now we are given the condition that the liquid is same. That must imply that the density must be same throughout the depth.

So, For finding gauge pressure we have formula P= ρ * g * h

Also gravity also remains same for both liquids

So taking ratio of their respective pressures we have

\frac{P_{1} }{\\P_2}= \frac{density * g * h_1}{density * g * h_2}

So \frac{39}{P_2}= \frac{3}{9}

Or P₂= 39 * 3 = 117 kPa

A locomotive accelerates a 25-car train along a level track. Every car has a mass of 7.7 ✕ 104 kg and is subject to a friction f
MaRussiya [10]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Tension between the two bodies.

In this way,

The total mass of the cars would be,

m_T = 25(7.7*10^4)Kg

m_T = 1.925*10^6Kg

Therefore the friction force at 29Km / h would be,

f=250v

f= 250*29Km/h

f = 250*29*(\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

f = 2013.889N

In this way the tension exerts between first car and locomotive is,

T=m_Ta+f

T=(1.925*10^6)(0.2)+2013.889

T= 3.8701*10^5N

Therefore the tension in the coupling between the car and the locomotive is 3.87*10^5N
