The change in mechanical energy caused by the dissipative resistance force is equal to, difference between the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object.

Potential energy of the object, P.E = mgh

m is mass of the object = 10 kg

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h= height from which it is dropped =50 m

Substituting the value we get,

P.E = 10×9.8×50 = 4900 J

Kinetic energy of the object, K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

v is the velocity of the object = 26 m/s²

K.E = (1/2)×10×(26)²

= 3380 J

Change in mechanical energy caused by dissipative force = P.E ₋ K.E

= 4900 ₋ 3380 = 1520 J

A black hole is a ________
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Answer to the question:

Explanation:

A black hole is a finite region of space within which there is a mass concentration high and dense enough to generate a gravitational field such that no material particle, not even light, can escape it.

After three half-lives, one-ninth of an original radioactive parent isotope remains, and eight-ninths has decayed into the daugh
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

B. False

The true statement will be:

After three half-lives, one-eighth of an original radioactive parent isotope remains, and seven-eighth has decayed into daughter isotopes.

Explanation:

Half life means the time after which the amount of the given substance becomes half of its initial amount, by radiation.

Thus after each successive half life the material is halved or half of it is decayed, which leads to a general formula:

Remaining Amount = 1/2^n of parent isotope

where, n is the number of half lives passed. So, for three half-lives:

Remaining Amount = 1/2^3 of parent isotope

<u>Remaining Amount = 1/8 of parent isotope</u>

Thus, the decayed amount will be:

Decayed Amount = (1-1/8) of parent isotope

<u>Decayed Amount = 7/8 of parent isotope</u>

Thus, the given statement is <u>B.False</u>

Which of the following is a contact force?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

b friction

Explanation:

Contact forces

Contact forces are forces that act between two objects that are physically touching each other. Examples of contact forces include:

Reaction force

An object at rest on a surface experiences reaction force. For example, a book on a table.

A box rests on a table. There are two arrows, equal in size but going in opposite directions, up and down, from the point where the box meets the table.

Tension

An object that is being stretched experiences a tension force. For example, a cable holding a ceiling lamp.

A box hangs from a rope. Two arrows which are equal in size act upwards and dowards from the top and bottom of the rope.

Friction

Two objects sliding past each other experience friction forces. For example, a box sliding down a slope.

A box rests on an incline. There are three arrows; one acting vertically downwards from the centre of the box’s base. One arrow acts perpendicular to the incline. One arrow acts up the incline.

Air resistance

An object moving through the air experiences air resistance. For example, a skydiver falling through the air.

A box falls from the sky. Two arrows, equal in size and opposite in direction act upwards from the box and downwards from the box

When a contact force acts between two objects, both objects experience the same size force, but in opposite directions. This is Newton's Third Law of Motion.
