Calculate the kinetic energy of the ball at the bottom of the ramp, then calculate how high it needs to be in order to have that same amount of potential energy.

Ok so this is a kinetic and potential energy problem. KE= 1/2*m*v^2 and PE= mgh so we set them equal to each other and get KE=PE so 1/2mv^2=mgh so mass divers out and left with 1/2v^2 =gh so solving for h or height we get
h=(1/2v^2)/g so h= 1/2*(6.5m/s)^2/9.80m/s^2 = 2.16m in height the ball will reach.

Hope this helps! Any questions please just ask!
Please rate to help me out also! Thank you so much!!!

Explanation:

Equation for energy balance will be as follows.

$\Delta E_{system} = E_{in} - E_{out}$

$\Delta U = W_{in} - Q_{out}$

Hence, $W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Therefore, we will calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2} = \frac{20 psia}{14.7}(638 R)$

= 868.03 R

Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.

m = $\frac{P_{1}V}{RT_{1}}$

= $\frac{14.7 psia \times 15 ft^{3}}{0.3353 psi ft^{3}/lbm R \times 638 R}$

= 1.031 lbm

Hence,

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Putting the values into the above equation as follows.

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

$W_{in} = 20 Btu + 1.031 lbm (\frac{0.160 Btu}{lbm R})(735 - 540)R$

$W_{in}$ = 655.2 Btu

Thus, we can conclude that work done by paddle wheel is 655.2 Btu.

What is the relationship between amplitude and frequency of a wave?.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The relationship between the wave's amplitude and frequency is such that it is inversely proportional to the frequency. The amplitude decreases as the frequency increases. The amplitude increases as the frequency decreases. The higher the energy of a wave, the higher the amplitude. The lower the energy, the lower the amplitude. Energy has no effect on wavelength, speed, or frequency, only the amplitude.
