Answer:

As the marble starts rolling down the roller coaster, the amount of potential energy stored in the marble decreases while its kinetic energy increases. Potential energy is also converted into heat energy due to friction.

Explanation:

As the marble rolls down the hill its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (its height decreases, but its velocity increases). When the marble goes back up the loop its height increases again and its velocity decreases, changing kinetic energy into potential energy.

Is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Yanka [14]

Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.

What would be the weight of the moon if it were resting on the surface of the earth

kari74 [83]

We need to be careful here.
The calculation of the gravitational force between two objects
refers to the distance between their centers.
The minimum possible distance between the Earth's and moon's
centers is the sum of their radii (radiuses).

Earth's radius . . . . . 6,360 km = 6.36 x 10⁶ meters
Moon's radius . . . . . 1,738 km = 1.738 x 10⁶ meters
Sum of their radii = 8.098 x 10⁶ meters

Also:
Earth's mass . . . . . 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
Moon's mass . . . . . 7.348 x 10²² kg

and now we're ready to go !

 Gravitational force =

 G M₁ M₂ / R²

= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²)(5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(7.348 x 10²² kg)/(8.098 x 10⁶ m)²

= (6.67 · 5.972 · 7.348 / 8.098²) · (10²³) Newtons

= (I get ...) 4.463 x 10²³ Newtons

That's almost exactly 10²³ pounds

 = 50,153,000,000,000,000,000 tons.

Those are big numbers.
All I can say is: I wouldn't exactly call that "resting" on the surface".

A boat produced water waves of frequency 4 Hz and wavelength 2m, if it reached the shore after 2 seconds how far is the boat fro

kap26 [50]

Answer:

S = 16 m

Explanation:

Given that

The frequency of the water waves, f = 4 Hz

The wavelength of the water waves, λ = 2 m

The time the waves reached the shore, t = 2 s

The relation between the velocity, wavelength, and the frequency of the wave is given by the relation,

v = f λ m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

v = 4 x 2

= 8 m/s

The velocity of the water waves is v = 8 m/s

The distance between the shore and boat is given by

s = v x t

= 8 x 2

= 16 m

Hence, the distance between the boat and the shore is, s = 16 m
