Answer:

1) If a cell or battery is used, the key in the circuit should be left open so as not to drain the battery or cell.

2) Also, leaving the key closed causes current to flow through the circuit, which also causes the temperature of the circuit to increase. Since the resistance of most metals increases with an increase in temperature, the resistance of the circuit will increase, which will then affect the integrity of the whole experiment.

A daring 510-N swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap. What must her minimum speed be just as she leaves the t

oee [108]

Answer:

$v_x = 1.26 m/s$

Explanation:

given,

weight of swimmer = 510 N

length of ledge, L = 1.75 m

vertical height of the cliff, h = 9 m

speed of the swimmer = ?

horizontal velocity of the swimmer should be that much it can cross the wedge.

distance = speed x time

d = v_x × t

1.75 = v_x × t ........(1)

now,time taken by the swimmer to cover 9 m

initial vertical velocity of the swimmer is zero.

using equation of motion for time calculation

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$9= 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

t² = 1.938

t = 1.39 s

same time will be taken to cover horizontal distance.

now, from equation 1

1.75 = v_x × 1.39

$v_x = 1.26 m/s$

horizontal speed of the swimmer is equal to 1.26 m/s

What is transferred through sound waves?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Sound waves transfer energy by causing successive compressions and rarefactions in the particles of the medium without transporting the medium particles themselves. Sound in solids can also manifest as transverse waves, causing crests and troughs in the propagation medium.

A clay ball with a mass of 0.48kg has an initial speed of 4.08m/s it strikes a 3.04kg clay ball at rest and the two balls stick

Rom4ik [11]

Final velocity = 0, thus final kinetic energy is 0
Initial kinetic energy:
0.5mv²
= 0.5 x 0.48 x 4.08²
= 4.0 J
Decrease in kinetic energy = 4 - 0 = 4 Joules
