Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

hoa [83]

To develop this problem it is necessary to use the equations of description of the simple harmonic movement in which the acceleration and angular velocity are expressed as a function of the Amplitude.

Our values are given as

f = 4.11 *10^{12} Hz

A = 1.23 * 10^{-11}m

The angular velocity of a body can be described as a function of frequency as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi 4.11 *10^{12}

\omega=2.582*10^{13} rad/s

PART A) The expression for the maximum angular velocity is given by the amplitude so that

V = A\omega

V =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})

V =  = 317.586m/s

PART B) The maximum acceleration on your part would be given by the expression

a = A \omega^2

a =( 1.23 * 10^{-11})(2.582*10^{13})^2

a= 8.2*10^{15}m/s^2

A student read his right ear against his desk while Teacher talks loudly on the desk and can hear the tapping sound only through
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

Explanation:

Mechanical waves need a material medium to be able to be transmitted, in the case of sound waves, one of the most common media is air, but it is also transmitted in other media in this case, stationery is transmitted.

The student hears the wave that is transmitted by the desk

The speed of the wave is proportional to the density of the material, so the wave that the student hears arrives much faster through the desk than through the air

If 2000 kg cannon fires 2 kg projectile having muzzle velocity 200 m/s then the KINETIC ENERGY of the CANNON will be ("E4" means
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

M V = m v        conservation of momentum (Caps-cannon  Small-projectile)

V = m / M * V = 2 / 2000 * 200 m/s = .2 m/s    recoil velocity of cannon

KE = 1/2 M V^2 = 2000 / 2 kg * (.2 m/s)^2  = 40 kg m^2/s^2 = 40 J

What advantage do space telescopes have over telescopes used on earth?
Elina [12.6K]
Earth's atmosphere blocks many types of light including gamma, x-rays most ultraviolet and infrared. So optical telescopes that use visible light and ultraviolet telescopes that are used to study very hot stars are much less effective on Earth.
