Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

P.E = 4 x 9.8 x 3
P.E = 117.6 J

Color depends on what characteristic of light?

Andrej [43]

Answer:

On the wavelength

Explanation:

Visible light is just a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which classifies all the electromagnetic waves from shortest wavelength (gamma rays) to longest wavelength (radio waves).

Visible light refers to the part of the spectrum which has wavelength between 380 nm and 750 nm. These are the only electromagnetic wave that our eyes can see, and depending on their wavelength, they appear as a different color. In particular, each color corresponds to a different range of wavelengths:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

A box is pulled up a rough ramp that makes an angle of 22 degrees with the horizontal surface. The surface of the ramp is the x-

kifflom [539]

Magnitude of the force of tension: 139 N

Explanation:

The surface of the ramp here is assumed to be the positive x-direction.

To solve this problem and find the magnitude of the force of tension, we have to analyze only the situation along the x-direction, since the force of tension lie in this direction.

There are three forces acting along the x-direction:

The force of tension, $F_T$ , acting up along the plane
The force of friction, $F_f=14.8 N$ , acting down along the plane
The component of the weight in the x-direction, $F_{gx}$ , acting down along the plane

We know that the magnitude of the weight is

$F_g=70.0 N$

So its x-component is

$F_{gx}=F_g sin \theta =(70.0)(sin 22^{\circ})=26.2 N$

The net force along the x-direction can be written as

$F_x = F_T-F_f-F_{gx}$

And therefore, since the net force is 98 N, we can find the magnitude of the force of tension:

$F_T=F_x+F_f+F_{gx}=98+14.8+26.2=139 N$

A5.0 kg TNT explosive, initially at rest, explodes into two pieces. One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to

nordsb [41]

Answer:

v = 24 m/s, rightwards

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of TBT explosive = 5 kg

It explodes into two pieces.

One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to the left at 36 m/s. Let left be negative and right be positive.

The law of conservation of momentum holds here. Let v be the final speed of the remaining piece. So,

$5\times 0=2\times (-36)+3\times v\\\\-72=-3v\\\\v=24\ m/s$

So, the final speed of the remaining piece is 24 m/s and it is in the right direction.

A position vector with magnitude 10 m points to the right and up. its x-component is 6.0 m. part a what is the value of its y-co

lidiya [134]

The position vector can be transcribed as:

A<span> = 6 i + y j </span>

i <span>points in the x-direction and j points in the y-direction.</span>

The magnitude of the vector is its dot product with itself:

<span>|A|2 = A·A</span>

<span>102 = (6 i + y j)•(6 i+ y j) Note that i•j = 0, and i•i = j•j = 1 </span>

<span>100 = 36 + y2 </span>

<span>64 = y2</span>

<span>get the square root of 64 = 8</span>

<span>The vertical component of the vector is 8 cm.</span>
