When sitting in the tree the cat has a total of 1375J in its Gravitational potential store. What is the maximum amount of energy

that can be transferred when the cat lands on the ground?
Physics

Answer:

1375J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential/potential energy of the at the top of the tree which is the energy by virtue of its position.

P.E = mgh

mass = m

Acceleration due to gravity = g

height = h

At the top of the tree, the value of h (height) is high resulting in the gravitational potential. When the cat lands on the ground, the value of h is zero, the the gravitational potential would be zero and all the potential energy have been converted to other forms of energy.

Therefore, the total gravitational potential store is equal to the maximum amount of energy that can be transferred which is equal to 1375J.

A light wave travels through air in equals 1.00 at an angle of 35 degrees what angle does it have when it passes from the air in
lyudmila [28]

Answer: Angle 59 degree

Explanation: Given that the

n1 = 1.0

n2 = 1.5

Øi = 35 degree

From Snell law, which says that

n1/n2 = sinØ1/ sinØ2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1/1.5 = sin 35/sinØ2

Cross multiply

Sin Ø2 = 1.5 sin35

SinØ2 = 1.5 × 0.573 = 0.860

Ø2 = sin^-1(0.860)

Ø2 = 59.36 degree

Ø2 = 59 degree ( approximately)

It has angle 59 degree when passing from air to glass

krek1111 [17]

Answer:Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum covers everything from gamma rays, x-rays, visible light, infrared, microwave and radio waves. Each part of the spectrum, including the different colors of visible light, have different wavelengths (the space between each wave).

If the magnitude of F1 is greater than the magnitude of F2, then the box is
Lady bird [3.3K]

Assuming that the vectors are acting along the same axis, we could just simply add or subtract the vectors. Since the F1 is greater than F2, there would be motion, there would be acceleration, and that the direction of motion is along the F1.
