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.

K.E_{max} = P.E_{max}

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2} (350)(25)^2\\\\K.E_{max} =109,375 \ J

Thus, P.E_{max} = 109,375 \ J

Therefore, the prediction for its maximum potential energy is 109,375 J

To apply Problem-Solving Strategy 12.2 Sound intensity. You are trying to overhear a most interesting conversation, but from you
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.316 m

Explanation:

The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location

            β = 10 log \frac{I}{I_o}

let's write this expression for our case

           β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}

           β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}

           

          β₂ -β₁ = 10 ( log \frac{I_2}{I_o} - log \frac{I_1}{I_o})

          β₂ - β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_1}

          log \frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{60 - 20}{10} = 3

           \frac{I_2}{I_1} = 10³

           I₂ = 10³ I₁

having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

           I = P / A

           P = I A

the area is of a sphere

          A = 4π r²

           

the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points

          P =  I₁ A₁ =  I₂ A₂

          I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

we substitute the ratio of intensities

          I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²

         r₁² = 10³ r₂²

         

         r₂ = r₁ / √10³

         

we calculate

          r₂ = \frac{10.0}{\sqrt{10^3} }

          r₂ = 0.316 m
