Answer:

It's C

Explanation:

Since E ∝ amplitude2 then as the amplitude is halved the energy is quartered.

Plugging in to check

amplitude2=E

For a simple harmonic motion energy is given with:
E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2
Where k is a constant that depends on the type of the wave you are looking at and A is amplitude.
Let's calculate the energy of the wave using two different amplitudes given in the problem:
E_1=\frac{1}{2}k(1)^2=\frac{1}{2}k\\E_2=\frac{1}{2}k(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}k=2k\\
We can see that energy associated with the wave is 4 times smaller when we decrease its amplitude by half. So the answer should be C.

A 320 g rubber ball is dropped from 2.0 m above the ground, bounces, and returns to a maximum height 1.2 m above the ground. If
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

0.71 J

Explanation:

320 g = 0.32 kg

According to law of energy conservation, the energy loss to external environment (air, ground) can be credited to the change in mechanical energy of the ball.

As the ball was dropped at H = 2 m above the ground then later reaches its maximum height at h = 1.2m, tts instant speed at those 2 points must be 0. So the kinetic energy at those points are 0 as well. The change in mechanical energy is the change in potential energy.

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

\Delta E_p = mgH - mgh = mg(H - h) = 0.32*9.81*(2 - 1.2) = 2.51 J

Since 1.8J of 2.51 J is due to work by air resistance, the rest of the energy (2.51 - 1.8 = 0.71 J) is would go to heating in the ground and ball when it bounces.

In what two ways is heat transmitted by a conductor
Advocard [28]

Heat can be transmitted by a conductor using conduction and convection method.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Heat energy can be transferred in three ways. In other words, the propagation of heat energy can be done by conduction, convection and radiation. Among these three conduction and convection requires a conducting medium, while radiation does not require any medium for transmitting the heat energy.

Conduction is the form of heat energy transfer where the energy is transmitted through the medium in contact with each other. So the electrons will collide with each other and the medium should be in contact and they should be highly conducting in nature, to perform conduction.

In case of convection, the liquid or gas molecules transfer the thermal energy from one point to another. No contact between the medium is required. It passes through the flow of gas or liquids. Thus, conduction and convection are the two methods by which heat can be transmitted by a conductor.

A car moves along a straight path with a speed of 30kmh. How much distance will the car travel in 20 minutes​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

speed \:  =  \frac{distance}{time}  \\ speed \times time = distance \\ 8.3ms^{ - 1} \times 1200s \\ 9960m

30km/h = 8.3ms^-1

20min = 1200s
