Answer:

0·233 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the ball = 0·012 kg

Initially the ball is at a height of 2·5 m

As initially the ball is dropped, it's initial velocity will be equal to 0

Therefore initially it has zero kinetic energy and has only potential energy

∴ Initially total mechanical energy of the ball = potential energy of the ball

Initial potential energy of the ball = m × g × h

where

m is the mass of the ball

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the ball

∴ Potential energy = 0·012 × 9·8 × 2·5 = 0·294 J

Velocity of the ball after striking the floor = 3·2 m/s

After striking the floor, the total mechanical energy = kinetic energy just after striking the floor

Kinetic energy = 0·5 × m × v²

where m is the mass of the ball

v is the velocity of the ball

∴ Kinetic energy of the ball = 0·5 × 0·012 × 3·2² = 0·061 J

Mechanical energy that is lost = 0·294 - 0·061 = 0·233 J

∴ Mechanical energy that the ball lost during its fall = 0·233 J

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.

A horizontal compass is placed 21 cm due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 36 a current downward. in what direction
Anit [1.1K]

 <span>
The needle of a compass will always lies along the magnetic field lines of the earth. 
A magnetic declination at a point on the earth’s surface equal to zero implies that 
the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field line at that specific point lies along 
the line of the north-south magnetic poles. </span>

The presence of a current-carrying wire creates an additional <span>
magnetic field that combines with the earth’s magnetic field. Since magnetic 
<span>fields are vector quantities, therefore the magnetic field of the earth and the magnetic field of the vertical wire must be combined vectorially. </span></span>

<span>
Where:</span>

B1 = magnetic field of the earth along the x-axis = 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

B2 = magnetic field due to the straight vertical wire along the y-axis

We can calculate for B2 using Amperes Law:

B2 = μ₀ i / [ 2 π R ]

B2 = [ 4π × 10 ⁻ ⁷ T • m / A ] ( 36 A ) / [ 2 π (0.21 m ) ] <span>
B2 = 5.97 × 10 ⁻ ⁵ T = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T </span>

The angle can be calculated using tan function:<span>
tan θ = y / x = B₂ / B₁ = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T / 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T <span>
tan θ = 1.326</span></span>

θ = 53°

<span>
<span>The compass needle points along the direction of 53° west of north.</span></span>

1. Which wave refracts?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

I want to say your answer is A) an ocean wave approaching the shore at an angle. But not 100% sure. I'm so sorry if it's wrong I really tried to figure it out.

Explanation:

Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refaction , or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves. Thus, if water waves are passing from deep water into shallow water, they will slow down. ( This is what I read on google maybe it'll help you out).

The ability to clearly see objects at a distance but not close up is properly called ________. The ability to clearly see object
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Hyperopia

Explanation:

     In hyperopia ,people face difficulties  to see close up object , but can see object easily which are at a distance.

The main reason of hyperopia is our eyeball.When our eyeball become too  short , then light focus behind the retina. Sowe will face problem to see near object but we can see distance object easily. Hyperopia is the opposite of nearsightedness. Hyperopia can be corrected by using contact lenses.
