Patrick is repairing the roof on his house. He uses a hammer having a mass of 1 kilogram. While working at the apex of the roof,

the hammer slips and falls to the ground at a velocity of 12 meters/second. Find the potential energy of the hammer just before slipping.

Answer:

72 joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.

since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)

therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.

7 types of electromagnetic waves from lowest to highest frequency
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are created as the result of the electrical waves which are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

Electromagnetic spectrum is range of the frequencies and their respective wavelengths of the various type of the electromagnetic radiation.

In order of the increasing frequency and the photon energy and the decreasing wavelength the spectrum are:  

<u>radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays</u>.

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 3.5 km . A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to the
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The car would have traveled exactly one-half of the circumference of the track, since it would have gone from one extreme point to its opposite extreme point. This would be equal to (3.5 / 2), or 1.75 km. The northernmost point would be 1.75km away from the southernmost point.</span>

Which of the following describes velocity only in terms of metric units?
Lelechka [254]

Choice 'D' describes speed in the metric units 'meter' and 'second'.
With no mention of direction, it can't be called 'velocity'.

Explain why mess extinctions occur and why it make sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions
Nastasia [14]
Mass extinction occur from natural disasters, such as a n asteroid hitting earth or a volcano errupting and spread ash everywhere.

It makes sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions because after each mass extinction, there is almost no life left and the few left have to repopulate, which may lead way to new mutations and new varieties of plants and animals.

If a car collides with a moving bus, what type of relationship exists between the force of the car and the force of the bus?.
Troyanec [42]

The correct answer is forces are equal but opposite in direction between car and bus.

What do we mean by Collision?

When two objects collide, forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction are applied to each object. Such pressures frequently result in one thing gaining momentum and gaining speed while the other object slows down (lose momentum).

The force applied to an object to cause an impact—a change in momentum—on it is referred to as the impact force, or momentum. Technically speaking, the Car and the bus would have exerted and felt the same amount of impact force in the event of a collision. Because every action has a corresponding and opposing response, according to Newton's third law.
