Answer:

c. 1600J

Explanation:

The loss in potential energy of the boy is given by:

U=mg \Delta h

where

m = 40 kg is the mass of the boy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 4 m + 0.02 m = 4.02 m is the total change in the height of the boy (4 metres + 2 cm due to the compression of the spring)

Substituting, we find

\Delta U = (40 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(4.02 m) = 1577 J \sim 1600 J

A car traveling on a straight road at 10 meters per second accelerates uniformly to a speed of 21 meters per second in 12 second
labwork [276]
21+10=31 because you can see that 21 and 10 are in metres while 12 is in seconds so 21+10=31 is the answer.

What is the tangential speed of a point on a wheel of a car if the point is located 0.114 m from the axis of rotation; and the w
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Tangential speed = R * w  where w is the angular speed

For a wheel   v = .114 m * 6.53 / sec = .744 m/s

Note that this is the tangential speed - If the wheel were moving at speed V then as viewed from the ground you have

top V + v

bottom   V - v

That is the wheel also has speed due to the speed of the axle (axis of rotation)

puteri [66]

When one member of a binary star system is a black hole, and astronomers detect flickering x-rays coming from the system, these x-rays usually coming from a disk of material around the black hole (material that has been pulled from the companion star and is falling toward the black hole).

A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other. Like black holes themselves, binary black holes are often divided into stellar binary black holes, formed either as remnants of high-mass binary star systems or by dynamic processes and mutual capture; and binary supermassive black holes, believed to be a result of galactic mergers.

For many years, proving the existence of binary black holes was made difficult because of the nature of black holes themselves and the limited means of detection available.

However, in the event that a pair of black holes were to merge, an immense amount of energy should be given off as gravitational waves, with distinctive waveforms that can be calculated using general relativity.

Therefore, during the late 20th and early 21st century, binary black holes became of great interest scientifically as a potential source of such waves and a means by which gravitational waves could be proven to exist. Binary black hole mergers would be one of the strongest known sources of gravitational waves in the universe, and thus offer a good chance of directly detecting such waves.

As the orbiting black holes give off these waves, the orbit decays, and the orbital period decreases. This stage is called binary black hole inspiral. The black holes will merge once they are close enough. Once merged, the single hole settles down to a stable form, via a stage called ringdown, where any distortion in the shape is dissipated as more gravitational waves. In the final fraction of a second the black holes can reach extremely high velocity, and the gravitational wave amplitude reaches its peak.
