a brick is suspended above the ground at a height of 6.6 m. it has a mass of 5.3 kg. what is the potential energy of the brick

As the temperature of water drops, it continues to give off thermal energy until it freezes. This is an example of.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The answer should be C

Explanation:

An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits?

DerKrebs [107]

Parallel circuit

Advandages: 1. Every unit that is connected in a parallel circuit gets equal amount of voltage.

2. It becomes easy to connect or disconnect a new element without affecting the working of other elements.

3. If any fault happened to the circuit, then also the current is able to pass through the circuit through different paths.

Disadvantages: 1. It requires the use of lot of wires.

2. We cannot increase or multiply the voltage in a parallel circuit.
3. Parallel connection fails at the time when it is required to pass exactly same amount of current through the units.

series circuit

Advantages: 1. Series circuits do not overheat easily. This makes them very useful in the case of something that might be around a potentially flammable source, like dry plants or cloth.

2. Series circuits are easy to learn and to make. Their simple design is easy to understand, and this means that it’s simple to conduct repairs .

3. we can add more power devices, they have a higher output in terms of voltage .

4. The current that flows in a series circuit has to flow through every component in the circuit. Therefore, all of the components in a series connection carry the same current.

Disadvantages: 1.If one point breaks in the series circuit,the total circuit will break.

2. As the number of components in a circuit increases ,greater will be the circuit resistance.

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers whose transmission axes are at an angle # with respect to each other. What shoul

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

$63.4^{\circ}$

Explanation:

When unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, the intensity of the light is reduced by a factor 1/2, so

$I_1 = \frac{1}{2}I_0$ (1)

where I_0 is the intensity of the initial unpolarized light, while I_1 is the intensity of the polarized light coming out from the first filter. Light that comes out from the first polarizer is also polarized, in the same direction as the axis of the first polarizer.

When the (now polarized) light hits the second polarizer, whose axis of polarization is rotated by an angle $\theta$ with respect to the first one, the intensity of the light coming out is

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta$ (2)

If we combine (1) and (2) together,

$I_2 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta$ (3)

We want the final intensity to be 1/10 the initial intensity, so

$I_2 = \frac{1}{10}I_0$

So we can rewrite (3) as

$\frac{1}{10}I_0 = \frac{1}{2}I_0 cos^2 \theta$

From which we find

$cos^2 \theta = \frac{1}{5}$

$cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}})=63.4^{\circ}$

The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

A) The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

I´ve found the complete problem on the web:

<em>A toy launcher that is used to launch small plastic spheres horizontally contains a spring with a spring constant of 50. newtons per meter. The spring is compressed a distance of 0.10 meter when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>A) Determine the elastic potential energy stored in the spring when the launcher is ready to launch a plastic sphere.</em>

<em>B) The spring is released and a 0.10-kilogram plastic sphere is fired from the launcher. Calculate the maximum speed with which the plastic sphere will be launched. [Neglect friction.] [Show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]</em>

<em />

A) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated as follows:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compressing distance

EPE = 1/2 · 50 N/m · (0.10 m)²

EPE = 0.25 J

The elastic potential energy stored in the spring when it is compressed 0.10 m is 0.25 J.

B) Since there is no friction, all the stored potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released. The equation of kinetic energy (KE) is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the sphere.

v = velocity

The kinetic energy of the sphere will be equal to the initial elastic potential energy:

KE = EPE = 1/2 · m · v²

0.25 J = 1/2 · 0.10 kg · v²

2 · 0.25 J / 0.10 kg = v²

v = 2.2 m/s

The maximum speed of the plastic sphere will be 2.2 m/s
