At the highest point: kinetic energy is 0 due to the speed  is 0

So the total mechanical energy is 20

Assume no frictions present, then the mechanical energy is conserved

So at the lowest point, kinetic energy = mechanical energy - potential energy

Answer will be 20 - 0.5 = 19.5 J

The temperature of the cosmic background radiation is measured to be 2.7 k. What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral d
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m

Explanation:

The peak wavelength of the spectral distribution can be found by using Wien's displacement law:

\lambda=\frac{b}{T}

where

b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K is Wien's displacement constant

T is the absolute temperature

For the cosmic background radiation, the temperature is

T = 2.7 K

So, the corresponding peak wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K}{2.7 K}=1.07\cdot 10^{-3} m

How energy is converted from one form to other
blagie [28]

Explanation:

Energy can be converted from one form to another. Examples: Gasoline (chemical) is put into our cars, and with the help of electrical energy from a battery, provides mechanical (kinetic) energy. ... Similarly, purchased electricity goes into an electric bulb and is converted to visible light and heat energy.

Use the passage to answer the question.
Zielflug [23.3K]

The reasoning in the passage is : ( C ) The spots are the result of interference, which happens with waves but not particles

<h3>Light waves </h3>

Light passed through a slit and projected onto a screen will form a pattern which is very visible and the pattern might have dark spots if there is some form of interference. Interference is present in waves and not particles.

Hence we can conclude that the reasoning in the passage is The spots are the result of interference, which happens with waves but not particles

A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.03 g of the tree's carbon drops to 1.02 decay pe
Illusion [34]

Answer:

t = 5.59x10⁴ y

Explanation:

To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:

A_{t} = A_{0}\cdot e^{- \lambda t}    (1)

<em>where A_{t}: is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.</em>

To find A₀ we can use the following equation:  

A_{0} = N_{0} \lambda   (2)

<em>where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon </em>

From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:        

N_{0} = \frac{m_{T} \cdot N_{A} \cdot abundance}{m_{^{12}C}}

<em>where m_{T}: is the tree's carbon mass, N_{A}: is the Avogadro's number and m_{^{12}C}: is the ¹²C mass.  </em>

N_{0} = \frac{1.03g \cdot 6.022\cdot 10^{23} \cdot 1.3\cdot 10^{-12}}{12} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} atoms ^{14}C    

Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:

\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}

<em>where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years </em>

\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{5700y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}

So, the initial activity A₀ is:  

A_{0} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} \cdot 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} = 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y    

Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

t = - \frac{Ln(A_{t}/A_{0})}{\lambda} = - \frac {Ln(\frac{1.02decays \cdot 24h \cdot 365d}{1h\cdot 1d \cdot 1y \cdot 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y})}{1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{4} y              

I hope it helps you!

What is power?
hammer [34]
We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines are given in terms of Horsepower (hp) which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.


Power is the rate at which a force is applied to an object for example.current wire
