As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .

   Potential energy =      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

                                       (3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .

If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.

   Kinetic energy =                                          (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                                 23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by  1.5 kg :     23.52 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:    speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) =  <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)

A 1.70 kg block slides on a horizontal, frictionless surface until it encounters a spring with a force constant of 955 N/m. The
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The initial speed of the block is 1.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of block, m = 1.7 kg

force constant of the spring, k = 955 N/m

compression of the spring, x = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

From principle of conservation of energy

kinetic energy of the block = elastic potential energy of the spring

¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂kx²

mv²  = kx²

v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m} }

where;

v is the initial speed of the block

x is the compression of the spring

v = \sqrt{\frac{955*(0.046)^2}{1.7} } \\\\v = 1.09 \ m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the block is 1.09 m/s

PLEASE HELP ME :)

A) 350 J

- The initial internal energy of the cup is

U_i = 230 J

- The final internal energy of the cup is

U_f = 580 J

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

U_f - U_i = Q+W

where

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done on the system

The work done on the system in this case is 0, so we can rewrite the equation as

U_f - U_i = Q

And so we find the heat transferred

Q=580 J - 230 J=350 J

B) IN the cup

Explanation:

in this situation, we see that the internal energy of the cup increases. The internal energy of an object/substance is proportional to its temperature, so it is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the object/substance. Therefore, in this case, the temperature (and the energy of the molecules of the substance) has increased: this means that heat has been transferred INTO the system from the environment (the heat came from the sun).

How is amplitude changed in an instrument or tuning fork
azamat

Amplitude is affected by the energy wave in the instrument. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period. There are various definitions of amplitude, which are all functions of the magnitude of the differences between the variable's extreme values.

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave. Amplitude of an instrument is directly affected by the wave of the energy in the instruments. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude in the instrument.
