B is momentum.  It's a quantity of motion, or "how much stuff is moving"

C is *almost* kinetic energy but it's missing an exponent of 2 on the velocity, v.

D is an amound of work done in moving something a distance d while applying a constant force F.

That leaves A.  This is the potential energy of an object of mass m, in a gravitational acceleration g, at a height h above the reference point (usually the ground)

Answer is A- mgh.

The equation for gravitational potential energy is mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s ∧2 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.

Gravitational potential energy is defined as the  energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field.

Longer wavelengths of light, such as _______, have ________ energy than shorter wavelengths, such as _________
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Micro and radio waves.

Lower energy.

Gamma rays.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths.

Ionising radiation os defined as the energy required of photons of a wave to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions.

The energy of the wave depends on both the amplitude and the frequency. If the energy of each wavelength is a discrete packet of energy, a high-frequency wave will deliver more of these packets per unit time than a low-frequency wave. In summary, the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy to ionise.

The velocity of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency of that wave.

c = f * lambda

Where,

c = velocity of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/time

Lambda = wavelength.

From the above expression, the longer the wavelength, lambda the shorter the frequency.

Examples of waves with longer wavelengths are, micro and radio waves, while radiations with shorter wavelengths like gamma rays.

3. A coil of 100 turns encloses an area of 100 cm2. It is placed at an angle of 700 with a
sasho [114]

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in the coil, N = 100

Area of the coil, A = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

It is placed at an angle of 70°.

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 Wb/m²

We need to find the magnetic flux through the coil and the emf is induced in the coil after 10⁻³ s.

Magnetic flux is given by :

\phi =BA\cos\theta\\\\\text{For N turns},\\\phi =NBA\cos\theta \\\\\phi=100\times 0.1\times 0.01\times \cos(70)\\\\=0.034\ Wb

So, the magnetic flux through the coil is 0.1 Wb.

Emf induced in the coil is :

\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\=\dfrac{0.034}{10^{-3}}\\\\=34\ V

So, 34V of emf is induced in the coil.

The change in motion (acceleration) of an object depends on
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

BOTH the size of the force AND the mass of the object

Explanation:

Acceleration of an object is the rate of change of its velocity.

The relation between force, mass and acceleration is given by the formula as follows :

F = ma

m is mass

a is acceleration

It would mean that the change in motion or the acceleration of an object depends on both the size of the force and the mass of the object. Hence, the correct option is (c).

a 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its kinetic energy when it's 2.00 m above the ground
Blababa [14]

Answer:

KE_2 = 3.48J

Explanation:

Conservation of Energy

E_1 = E_2

PE_1+KE_1 = PE_2+KE_2

m*g*h+(1/2)m*v² = m*g*h+(1/2)m*v²

(0.0780kg)*(9.81m/s²)*(5.36m)+(.5)*(0.0780kg)*(4.84m/s)² = (0.0780kg)*(9.81m/s²)*(2m)+KE_2

4.10J+0.914J = 1.53J + KE_2

5.01J = 1.53J + KE_2

KE_2 = 3.48J
