Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J

Which equations represent the relationship between wavelength and frequency for a sound wave? Check all that apply. V = f = vf f
Vikentia [17]

It's really hard to make out the gibberish at the end, where the list of choices should be.

Here are the three equations for the relationships among the wavelength, frequency, and wave-speed, for ANY wave:

-- Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

-- Wavelength = (Speed) / (frequency)

-- Frequency = (Speed) / (wavelength)

Notice that you only have to remember any ONE of these.  Then you can always get the other ones by multiplying or dividing both sides by the same quantity.

If you want to remember all of them, here are the short forms:

V  =  L · f

L = V / f

f = V / L

Discuss how the hardness or softness of the landing surface is related to the time required to stop the egg
monitta

Answer

To understand this concept it is necessary to understand Newton's Second Law

According to Newtons Second law applied force is equal to rate of change of momentum of a body.

Mathematically,

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

here, \frac{dp}{dt} is rate of change of momentum with respect to time

It means If two eggs fall from same height,one on softer surface and other on hard surface that time the momentum of both eggs will remain equal at both the surfaces. But, impact time will be different. On hard surface egg will stop almost instantly so impact time will be small and hence the force on egg will be large therefore the egg will breakup.

On the other hand on the soft surface like a cotton, egg will not stop instantly but it will slow down for a few seconds and then stop due to which the time of impact will increase. Therefore the force on egg will be less and it won't break up.

Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere?
Margaret [11]
You can eliminate the answer A because the moon is super cold
For answer B, atmosphere is contained of gasses, not just oxygen alone
Definitely not C 
The answer is D because the moon's gravity isn't strong enough to hold the gasses, as a result, only a small amount of gasses has an attraction to it ( the moon has a little atmosphere though) but not enough to be considered
