Answer:
c. 1600J
Explanation:
The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:
where
m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)
Substituting, we find
<span>17,179,8691,840</span> should be the correct answer
hope this helps
Velocities of their center of mass after collisions are found by the following formula as shown in the image:
<h3>What are elastic collisions?</h3>
- An elastic collision is one in which there is no energy lost during the impact. A moderately inelastic collision occurs when some energy is wasted yet the items do not cling together. The maximum amount of energy is wasted when the objects collide in a perfectly inelastic impact. The kinetic energy doesn't change.
- It may be two dimensions or one dimension. Because there will always be some energy exchange, no matter how tiny, totally elastic collision is not conceivable in the real world.
- While the overall system's linear momentum does not change, the individual momenta of the participating components do, and because these changes are equal and opposite in size and cancel each other out, the initial energy is conserved.

The 1st example is NOT a longitudinal wave
Explanation:
Waves are periodic disturbance of the space that travel carrying energy but not matter.
Depending on their vibration, waves are classified into two types:
- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the vibration of the wave occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves.
- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the vibration of the wave occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave (back and forth), creating regions of higher particle density (compressions) and lower particle density (rarefactions). Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
In this problem we have four options given:
- The first picture represents a transverse wave, because the vibration of the robe is up and down, while the wave propagates on the left-right direction
- The second picture represents a sound wave, which is a longitudinal wave
- The 3rd picture represents a longitudinal wave, since the vibration of the slinky is back and forth along the direction of propagation
- The 4th picture also represents a sound wave, which is longitudinal
Therefore, the only wave which is not longitudinal is the one in the 1st picture.
