A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?

Physics

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, f = 9.38×10¹⁴ Hz

speed of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, equals speed of light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelength of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, λ = ?

Apply wave equation for speed, frequency and wavelength;

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = (3 x 10⁸) / (9.38×10¹⁴)

λ = 3.1983 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 319.83 x  10⁻⁹ m

λ = 319.83 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does each if the following have: (
Vadim26 [7]
<span>Each of these systems has exactly one degree of freedom and hence only one natural frequency obtained by solving the differential equation describing the respective motions. For the case of the simple pendulum of length L the governing differential equation is d^2x/dt^2 = - gx/L with the natural frequency f = 1/(2π) √(g/L). For the mass-spring system the governing differential equation is m d^2x/dt^2 = - kx (k is the spring constant) with the natural frequency ω = √(k/m). Note that the normal modes are also called resonant modes; the Wikipedia article below solves the problem for a system of two masses and two springs to obtain two normal modes of oscillation.</span>

Which of the following factors most affect the rate at which waves erode land features along the shore?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The biggest factor affecting coastal erosion is the strength of the waves breaking along the coastline. A wave's strength is controlled by its fetch and the wind speed. Longer fetches & stronger winds create bigger, more powerful waves that have more erosive power.

Explanation:

hope it helps !
