It's gravitational potential energy at the top will roughly equal it's kinetic energy when it was released (a little is lost to air resistance).  Note this will assume the release point is zero potential energy.  (we are free to define it that way, just letting you know).  Gravitational potential energy is mgh.
mgh=25J
h=25J/(0.5kg x 9.81m/s^2) = 5.097m
So it goes about 5.1 meters above the point where it was released

Two trumpet players are trying to tune their instruments. When they are in tune, they will both be playing the same note and no
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The second trumpeter will be playing at frequency = 515 Hz

Explanation: Given that the note sounds lower and they can hear 20 beats in 4.0 s. 

Beat frequency = 20/4 = 5 Hz

Beat frequency = F2 - F1

5 = 520 - F1

F1 = 520 - 5

F1 = 515 Hz

Since the note sound lower, the second trumpeter will be playing at 515 Hz frequency

Describe how ultrasound and infrasound are used in specific industrial applications and provide detailed examples.
Angelina_Jolie [31]
In scientific terms, ultrasound is a sound pressure, cyclic in nature, that has a greater frequency than the limit at the top of human hearing capabilities. What this means is that an ultrasonic sound can’t be heard by the human ear because their frequency is too high for our ears to pick up. In healthy young adults, this upper hearing capability is an average of 20 kilohertz. Ultrasound has many applications in several fields. Perhaps the best known application for ultrasound is sonography. This is where medical staff use the high pitched noise to produce a picture of a fetus while in the mother’s womb. Another use however, doesn’t directly concern humans at all. Bats use the high pitched noises to see in the dark and get an accurate reading on their preys internal structure. A popular belief is that an ultrasonic sound has the ability to turn the locking mechanism in a door lock, as demonstrated on some spy movies. On the opposite side of this are infrasonic sounds. These are noises with a frequency less than the lowest level of human hearing capabilities is 20 hertz. It is possible for humans to perceive infrasonic sounds, but only if the air pressure is sufficient. Although the war is the main tool for hearing these low sounds, it is possible for other parts of the body to “feel them”. Infrasound can be used to send signals in the army to special machines that can pick them up. These can be used to transmit vital data. Animals are able to pick up some low infrasonic noises which warn them of natural disasters before they happen, generally earthquakes and tsunamis.

A friend on skis stands still on level ground, with dry 0.00°C with a coefficient of static friction of 0.0300. How hard would y
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

20.6 N

Explanation:

Friction equals normal force times coefficient of friction.

F = Fn μ

On level ground, normal force equal weight.

Fn = W

Therefore:

F = W μ

F = (685 N) (0.0300)

F = 20.6 N

Chegg ) Alice owns 20 grams of a radioactive isotope that has a half-life of ln(4) years. (a) Find an equation for the mass m(t)
stepladder [879]

Answer:

m(t)=20e^{-0.5t}

Explanation:

Given:

Initial mass of isotope (m₀) = 20 g

Half life of the isotope (t_{1/2}) = (ln 4) years

The general form for the radioactive decay of a radioactive isotope is given as:

m(t)=m_0e^{-kt}

Where,

m(t)\to mass\ after\ 't'\ years\\t\to years\ passed\\k\to rate\ of\ decay\ per\ year

So, the equation is: m(t)=20e^{-kt}

At half-life, the mass is reduced to half of the initial value.

So, at t=t_{1/2},m(t)=\frac{m_0}{2}. Plug in these values and solve for 'k'. This gives,

\frac{m_0}{2}=m_0e^{-k\times\ln 4}\\\\0.5=e^{-k\times\ln 4}\\\\Taking\ natural\ log\ on\ both\ sides,we\ get:\\\\\ln(0.5)=-k\times \ln 4\\\\k=\frac{\ln 0.5}{-\ln 4}=0.5

Hence, the equation for the mass remaining is given as:

m(t)=20e^{-0.5t}
