The answer to your question is 5.3 J

Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong...  But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car
juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

a = \frac{-F}{m}

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity  because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion

The particles that make up protons and neutrons are called
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Quark

Explanation:

In the past the proton,neutron and electron were believed to be indivisible. Quarks were later discovered to be particles that make up the proton and neutron. Quarks are known as fast moving points of energy and are usually joined to one another through gluons. Neutron has two down quarks and one up quark while proton has two up quarks and one down quark.

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 3 m and a frequency of .1Hz?
Yuri [45]
We know,
Speed = Frequency * Wavelength 
Speed = 3 * 0.1 m/s   [hertz = 1/sec.]
So, your final answer is 0.3 m/s

Hope this helps!!

true or false? short-wave heat radiation is given off by the earth when the earth absorbs long-wave radiation.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Hope this helps u, pls mark me brainlist

Explanation:

The sun emits shortwave radiation because it is extremely hot and has a lot of energy to give off. Once in the Earth's atmosphere, clouds and the surface absorb the solar energy. The ground heats up and re-emits energy as longwave radiation in the form of infrared rays.

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?
alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.
