The block has maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the curved incline. Since its radius is 3.0 m, this is also the block's starting height. Find the block's potential energy <em>PE</em> :
<em>PE</em> = <em>m g h</em>
<em>PE</em> = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)
<em>PE</em> = 58.8 J
Energy is conserved throughout the block's descent, so that <em>PE</em> at the top of the curve is equal to kinetic energy <em>KE</em> at the bottom. Solve for the velocity <em>v</em> :
<em>PE</em> = <em>KE</em>
58.8 J = 1/2 <em>m v</em> ²
117.6 J = (2.0 kg) <em>v</em> ²
<em>v</em> = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))
<em>v</em> ≈ 7.668 m/s ≈ 7.7 m/s
whats that supposed to mean
Answer:
Wave speed is related to both wavelength and wave frequency. Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding points on adjacent waves. Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. This equation shows how the three factors are related:
Speed = Wavelength x Wave Frequency

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?
Answer:
The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:
where 
is the mass of the arrow, 
is the mass of the block, 
of the change in height of the block after the collision, and 
is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.
Solving for the velocity , we get:
and we put in the numerical values
,
and simplify to get:
The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s
<span>Folded mountains form because two tectonic plates move towards each other at a convergent plate boundary pushing the land up forming a mountain.
Hope this helps!!
