Answer:

The percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

Explanation:

Mechanical energy (Potential energy, PE) of the oscillator is calculated as;

PE = ¹/₂KA²

During the first oscillation;

PE₁ = ¹/₂KA₁²

During the second oscillation;

A₂ = A₁ - 0.0342A₁ = 0.9658A₁

PE₂ = ¹/₂KA₂²

PE₂ = ¹/₂K (0.9658A₁)²

PE₂ = (0.9658²)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = (0.9328)¹/₂KA₁²

PE₂ = 0.9328PE₁

Percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle;

Change \ in \ percent= \frac{PE_2 - PE_1}{PE_1} \\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{0.9328PE_1 -PE_1}{PE_1} *100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= \frac{-0.0672PE_1}{PE_1}*100 \\\\Change \ in \ percent= -0.0672*100\\\\Change \ in \ percent= -6.72 \ \% \\\\Loss \ in \ percent= 6.72 \ \%

Therefore, the percentage of the mechanical energy of the oscillator lost in each cycle is 6.72%

if the current in a wire is 2.0 amperes and the potential difference across the wire is 10 volts what is the resistance of the w
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

R = 2Ω

Explanation:

Potential difference (V) = current (I) * Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = 2.0A

V = 10v

R = ?

V = IR

R = V / I

R = 10 / 2

R = 2Ω

The resistance across the wire is 2Ω

A person skateboarding is part of a closed system that has 1,450 j of
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The gravitational potential energy of the system will decreases from 1,250 J to 625 J. Option A is corect.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can be transferred from one form to another.

The total energy is the sum of all the energies present in the system. The potential energy in a system is due to its position in the system.

TE=KE+GPE

Case 1;

1450 = 200 J+GPE

GPE=1450 -200

GPE=1250 J

Case 2;

1450 = 825 J+GPE

GPE=1450 -825

GPE=625 J

The gravitational potential energy of the system will decreases from 1,250 J to 625 J.

Hence, option A is corect.
