Gravity can be considered a force (in fact, it is one). Since gravity uses energy to pull "down" on objects, gravity is a force.

Hope this helps!

Yes, because gravity will pull objects down to Earth.

A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The value is $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first amplitude of the wave is $E_{max}1 = 98.02 \ V/m$

The first depth is $D_1 = 10 \ m$

The second amplitude is $E_{max}2 = 81.87 \ (V/m)$

The second depth is $D_2 = 100 \ m$

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

$v(x) = Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)$

=> $\frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}$

So considering the ratio of the equation for the two depth

$\frac{A}{A_S} = \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}$

=> $\frac{98.02}{81.87} = \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{0.18}{90}$

=> $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

A computational model predicts the maximum potential energy a roller coaster car can have given its mass and its speed at the lo

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the coaster car, m = 350 kg

speed of the coaster car at the lowest point, v = 25 m/s

The coaster car will have maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point and based on law of conservation of mechanical energy, the maximum kinetic energy of the coaster car at the lowest point will be equal to maximum potential energy at the highest point.
