Suppose you toss a tennis ball upward.a) Does the kinetic energy of the ball increase or decrease as it moves higher?b) What hap

pens to the potential energy of the ball as it moves higher?c) If the same amount of energy were imparted to a ball the same size as a tennis ball but of twicethe mass, how high would it go in comparison to the tennis ball?

Answer:

a) No. The kinetic energy of the ball decreases.

b) The potential energy of the ball increases.

c) The ball would go half of the original distance.

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy would be converted to potential energy as the ball goes higher. Since the total mechanical energy is conserved, the kinetic energy would decrease.

b) The potential energy of the ball would increase. Since the total mechanical energy of the ball is conserved, the ball would lose speed, and therefore kinetic energy. In order to compensate the loss of kinetic energy, the ball would gain potential energy as it goes higher.

c) The relation of the energy and mass is as follows:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\U = mgh

According to the energy conservation

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = 0 + mgh\\\frac{1}{2}v^2 = gh

The maximum height that the ball reaches is proportional to the initial velocity. If the ball would be imparted with the same amount of energy, its final potential energy would be the same. However, in order to have the same potential energy (mgh), its height would be half of the original case.

mgh = (2m)g(\frac{h}{2})

Which statement best describes metallic bonding
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It's a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal bars. It can also be described as the sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions

Given the indices of refraction n_1 and n_2 of material 1 and material 2, respectively, rank these scenarios on the basis of the
aniked [119]

Answer:

a)  order of refraction is a, e, de, c , c) a f g

Explanation:

a) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

          .n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

          sin θ / sin δδa) when lightning is refracted it must comply with the law of refraction

          .n1 sin θ₁ = n2 sin θ ₂

          Sint θ1 / sin θ2 = n2 / n1

1 we see that the ray deviation is promotional to the ratio of the refractive indices

The order of refraction is a, e, de, c

.b) When a ray passes from a medium with less indicated refraction to a higher index the part of the reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

a) no phase change

b) reflected ray has a phase change of 180º

c) no phase change

d) no phase change

e) there is a phase change

f) these phase changeo

Name two laboratory equipment in the picture . b ) Identify two mistakes that these people in the laboratory above are doing​
pishuonlain [190]

The two laboratory equipment in the picture are beaker and chemicals.The people in the picture are not wearing any protective gears while (a) working in the laboratory (b) Throwing the chemicals on the floor.

Among the many items that would be considered general lab equipment are pipettes, scales, centrifuges, Bunsen burners, freezers, hot plates, incubators, coolers, stirrers, water baths, and fume hoods

The dangers of working in a laboratory setting include:

Chemical hazards: Handling toxic substances can cause irritation and carcinogenicity.

Biological hazards: Biological hazards include hazards from working with small animals, working with blood borne pathogens and working with biological agents, such as viruses and bacteria.

Physical hazards: Physical hazards include exposure to noise, poor posture and the explosibility and flammability of substances.

Safety hazards: Safety hazards include unbalanced centrifuges, danger when handling hot sterilized items and electrical hazards, such as shock, explosions, blasts and electrocutions.

Allergy hazards: A common allergy hazard in the laboratory setting is a latex allergy, as many of the materials used in a laboratory setting are latex.
