Mechanical Energy = PE + KE

PE: mgh = 200 x 9.8 x 18 = 35280

PE: 35280 Joules

KE: 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 x 200 x 16^2 = 25600

KE: 25600 Joules

ME: 35280 + 25600

ME: 60,880J

A resonance tube can be used to measured the speed of sound in air. A tuning fork is held above the opening of the tube and stru
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

330.24 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency, f = 320 Hz

L1 = 25.8 cm

L2 = 78.4 cm

L3 = 131.1 cm

Let the wavelength be λ

Then, L1 which is the length of the column of air is  λ/4.

λ/4 = 25.8 cm

λ = 25.8 × 4 = 103.2 cm = 1.032 m

Then, speed of sound in air is:

v = λ f

⇒ v = 1.032 × 320 Hz

⇒ v = 330.24 m/s

Imagine an infinite earth with a hole dripped through it. You fall in and accelerate at g~10m/s/s. How long until you reach the
Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

1.)Which is the correctly balanced equation?
iVinArrow [24]
A. The correctly balanced equation is that in which the number of atoms of a certain element at the left-hand side is similar to that in the right hand side or the reactant side and product side, respectively. From the given equation, the answer would be,

       C. Cl2 + 2NaI --> 2NaCl + I2


B. In the given chemical reaction above, heat is emitted such that it appears in the product side of the equation. Hence, this is an example of a combustion reaction. 

C. Similar with the reasoning in letter A, the answer to this item is,
          B. 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
