How do you identify the zero reference position for calculating mechanical potential energy? What is the most common zero refere

nce position for system that has gravitational potential energy?

ANTONII [103]3 years ago

<span>The zero reference position should be the position the system has the least potential energy. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Gravity's ability to do work (potential energy) reaches zero when it hits the ground and stops falling, hence the ground is the most common zero reference position.</span>

Resonance in air column is used in which of these musical instruments
zvonat [6]

Answer: The correct answer is "trumpet".

Explanation:

Resonance occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to the natural frequency of the object.

Wind instruments use resonance in the air column to amplify the sound. It makes the sound louder. Sound is produced by using lips or vibrating reeds or buzzing sound into the mouthpiece.

Therefore, resonance in air column is used in trumpet musical instruments.

If you are asked to modify the robots or drones that are currently used , what kind of modifications you would do and suggest an
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

In recent times of pandemic, robots can be use as replacement of labor in the industries. Mundane tasks can be programmed in their system so that they can used readily.

Drones can used delivery for essential goods and services, so that human interference can be least and the spread of virus can be curbed.

In a recent example, Argentina where aerial data has reportedly been used to accelerate the construction of emergency hospitals.

A 6.00 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 54.2 cm from a double convex lens
BigorU [14]

Answer:

1 / f = 1 / i + 1 / o       thin lens equation

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o    =    (o - f) / (o * f)

i = o * f / (o - f)

i = 54.2 * 12.7 / (54.2 - 12.7) = 16.6 cm    image distance

Image is real and inverted and 16.6 / 54.2 * 6 = 1.94 cm tall

Please help! I'm not sure what equation or the process to do this question.
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The momentum is 1.94 kg m/s.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we equate the potential energy of the spring with the kinetic energy of the ball.

The potential energy U of the compressed spring is given by

U = \dfrac{1}{2} kx^2,

where x is the length of compression and k is the spring constant.

And the kinetic energy of the ball is

K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2.

When the spring is released all of the potential energy of the spring goes into the kinetic energy of the ball; therefore,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2,

solving for v we get:

v = x \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }.

And since momentum of the ball is p=mv,

p =mx \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }.

Putting in numbers we get:

p =(0.5kg)(0.25m) \sqrt{\dfrac{(120N/m)}{0.5kg} }.

\boxed{p=1.94kg\: m/s}
