Answer:

The Energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state is called Potential energy.

Mathematically potential energy can be written as,

Potential energy = mgh

Where 'm' represents mass of the body, 'g' represents gravity of the earth and 'h' represents height of body. Potential energy depends on the height, higher the hight from the surface of the earth, maximum will be the potential energy.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Curves around objects

Explanation:

Diffraction is a property of light described by bending of light around an object. This ability of light to bend around edges has facilitated optical effects of light where there is interference of light waves. Other properties of light are: reflection, refraction, polarization, scattering of light, and interference of light.

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t
givi [52]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

Here,

f_0 = Frequency of Source

v_s = Speed of sound

f = Frequency heard before slowing down

f' = Frequency heard after slowing down

v  = Speed of the train before slowing down

So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,

The first equation is,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

300 = f_0 (\frac{343}{343-v})

(300*343) - 300v = 343f_0

Now the second expression will be,

f' = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v/2})

290 = (343)(\frac{v_0}{343-v/2})

290*343-145v = 343f_0

Dividing the two expression we have,

\frac{(300*343) - 300v}{290*343-145v} = 1

Solving for v, we have,

v = 22.12m/s

Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s
