A 20 kg ball is thrown into the air. It is going 5.0 m/s when thrown. How much potential energy will it have at the top

Physics

When the ball leaves your hand, it has kinetic energy.

              Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (20kg) (5 m/sec)²

                                     =  50 joules .

If the ball is not carrying solar panels or a jet engine, then it can
never have any MORE energy than that.  And if, as we always
assume, it doesn't suffer any air resistance, then it won't LOSE
any energy. It has 50 joules of energy, permanently or until it hits
something.

If you toss it straight up, then it keeps climbing until it runs out of
kinetic energy.  That is, its kinetic energy gets converted to potential
energy as it goes higher and slower.  At the top, where it stops
momentarily and has no kinetic energy at all, all the energy it has
is potential energy ... the entire 50 joules you gave it with your toss.

If a diffraction grating has 3700 lines per cm, what is the spacing d between lines
Sonja [21]
So first we find the gap between the slits by the formula d=1/N 

<span>N is number of lines per metre so 3700 line/cm = 370000 lines/m </span>
<span>So d=2.7*10^-6 </span>

<span>Now we use the formula dsin(angle)=n(wavelength) </span>

<span>d is the same </span>
<span>n is the order of the diffraction pattern </span>

<span>so wavelenth=dsin(angle)/n </span>
<span>=[(2.7*10^-6)*sin30]/3 </span>
<span>=4.5*10^-7 m</span>

If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po
Ber [7]

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.
