Answer:

Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.

Potential energy loss:

M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J

Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:

= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J

In the process of peppering the question with those forty (40 !) un-necessary quotation marks, you neglected to actually show us the illustration.  So we have no information to describe the adjacent positions, and we're not able to come up with any answer to the question.

mylen [45]
The category of galaxy which does not have a distinctive shape is D. an irregular galaxy.
A spiral galaxy has a spiral shape, an elliptical galaxy has an elliptical shape, and a barred-spiral galaxy has a barred-spiral shape. The only galaxy type which does not have a constant shape is an irregular galaxy.

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 34.0 M/s at the edge of a roof top. Find the horizontal and vertical componen
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

v_x=34 m/s

v_y=53.9\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration acts in that direction, thus:

vx=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

v_y=g.t

The horizontal component of the velocity is always the same:

v_x=34 m/s

The vertical component at t=5.5 s is:

v_y=9.8*5.5=53.9

v_y=53.9\ m/s

An organ pipe is made to play a low note at 27.5 Hz, the same as the lowest note on a piano. Assuming a sound speed of 343 m/s,
timama [110]

Answer:

The length of open-open pipe needed is 6.23 m

The length of open-close  pipe needed is 3.11 m

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency for standing wave mode of  an open- open pipe is given by

f=\frac{v}{2L}

where v is the velocity and L is the length

The length of open-open pipe needed is

L=\frac{v}{2f} \\L=\frac{343}{2\times 27.5} \\L=6.23 m

Fundamental frequency for standing wave mode of  an open- close pipe is given by

f=\frac{v}{2L}

The length of open-close pipe needed is

L=\frac{v}{2f} \\L=\frac{343}{2\times 27.5} \\L=6.23 m
