<h2>Answer: False</h2>

Explanation:

This sentence is the description of the mechanical energy.

In this sense, the mechanical energy of a body or a system is that which is obtained from the speed of its movement (kinetic energy) or its specific position (potential energy), in order to produce a mechanical work.

That is to say: The mechanical energy involves both the kinetic energy and the potential energy (which can be elastic or gravitational, for example).

In addition, it should be noted that mechanical energy is<u> conserved in conservative fields and is a scalar magnitude.</u>

Therefore:

<h2>The sum of potential and kinetic energies in the particles of a substance is called <u>Mechanical Energy</u></h2>

peach pie in a 9.00 in diameter plate is placed upon a rotating tray. Then, the tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie pla

zavuch27 [327]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the peach pie, d = 9 inches

Radius of the pie, r = 4.5 inches

The tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie plate moves through a distance of 183 inches, d = 183 inches

Let $\theta$ is the angular distance that the pie plate has moved through.

It is given by :

$\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}$

$\theta=\dfrac{183}{4.5}$

$\theta=40.66\ radian$

Since, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees

$\theta=2329.64\ degrees$

Since, 1 radian = 0.159155 revolution

$\theta=6.47124\ revolution$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit

Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V= 30 m/s ( + x direction )

d) λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

$y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)$

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

$y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x λ

λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

$U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]$

$U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s$

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s

The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

= 1/sin(430)

= 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

= (3×10^8)/(1.06)

= 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.
