Height of baby carriage from ground = 21m

Mass of carriage with baby = 1.5 kg

The carriage has potential energy by virtue of its height.

Potential energy = mgh = 1.5×10×21 = 315 J

Hence, potential energy of the carriage is 315 Joule.

A wagon is accelerating down a hill. Which statement is true?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.

Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.

If there is a difference in air pressure between two locations, what happens?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

High in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. ... A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.

how much does a bookshelf weigh if the movers are pushing it at a speed of 10 m/s^2 by applying 100 N force
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

Assuming a frictionless surface, then force F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. Making m the subject of the formula then m=\frac {F}{a}

Substituting 100 N for the applied force F and 10 m/s^2 for acceleration a then the value of m will be m=\frac {100}{10}=10\ kgs

Therefore, in terms of kilograms, the bookshelf weighs 10 Kg

Consider a double slit experiment in the air. The wavelength of light is 500nm light, the screen is 1m away and two adjacent bri
Bess [88]

Answer: 0.75\ cm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light \lambda=500\ nm

Screen is D=1\ m away

Distance between two adjacent bright fringe is \Delta y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

When same experiment done in water, wavelength reduce to \dfrac{\lambda }{\mu}

So, the distance between the two adjacent bright fringe is \Delta y'=\dfrac{\lambda D}{\mu d}

Keeping other factor same, distance becomes

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\frac{4}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\quad \text{Refractive index of water is }\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.75\ cm
