A 750-kg automobile is moving at 26.2 m/s at a height of 5.00 m above the bottom of a hill when it runs out of gasoline. The car

coasts down the hill and then continues coasting up the other side until it comes to rest. Ignoring frictional forces and air resistance, what is the value of h, the highest position the car reaches above the bottom of the hill?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply to the concepts related to energy conservation. For this purpose we will consider potential energy and kinetic energy as the energies linked to the body. The final kinetic energy is null since everything is converted into potential energy, therefore

Potential Energy can be defined as,

PE = mgh

Kinetic Energy can be defined as,

K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Now for Conservation of Energy,

KE_i+PE_i = PE_f

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2+mgh_1 = mgh_2

\frac{1}{2} (750kg) (26.2m/s)^2 + (750)(9.8)(5) = (750)(9.8)h_2

h_2 = 40.0224m

Therefore the highets position the car reaches above the bottom of the hill is 40.02m

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.
iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.

Part 1: Use complete sentences to explain why solar winds occur. Part 2: Give two examples in which solar winds impact Earth.
Troyanec [42]

Part 1

When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released, and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

Part 2

1.  Not all the radiation of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly solar flares.

2.  Solar flares contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.

A certain resistor dissipates 0.5 W when connected to a 3 V potential difference. When connected to a 1 V potential difference,
Stels [109]

Answer:

<h2>0.056 W</h2>

Explanation:

Power = IV

From ohms law we know that

V= IR\\\\I= \frac{V}{R} \\\\Power= \frac{V}{R}*V\\\\Power= \frac{V^2}{R}

Given data

P1 = 0.5 Watt

P2 = ?

V1= 3 Volts

V2= 1 Volt

Thus we can solve for the power dissipated as follows

P1= \frac{V1^2}{R1}\\\\P2= \frac{V2^2}{R2}

\frac{P1}{P2} = \frac{V1^2}{V2^2}\\\\ P2=\frac{ V2^2}{ V1^2} *P1\\\\ P2=\frac{ 1^2}{ 3^2} *0.5= 0.055= 0.056 W

<em>The  resistor will dissipate 0.056 Watt</em>

What is the mathematical relationship between wavelength and velocity? Inverse, horizontal, linear or quadratic? I NEED MAJOR HE
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Wavelength is the measure of the length of a complete wave cycle. The velocity of a wave is the distance traveled by a point on the wave. In general, for any wave the relation between Velocity and Wavelength is proportionate. It is expressed through the wave velocity formula.

Explanation: For any given wave, the product of wavelength and frequency gives the velocity. It is mathematically given by wave velocity formula written as-

V=f×λ

Where,

V is the velocity of the wave measure using m/s.

f is the frequency of the wave measured using Hz.

λ is the wavelength of the wave measured using m. Velocity and Wavelength Relation

Amplitude, Frequency, wavelength, and velocity are the characteristic of a wave. For a constant frequency, the wavelength is directly proportional to velocity.

Given by:

V∝λ

Example:

For a constant frequency, If the wavelength is doubled. The velocity of the wave will also double.

For a constant frequency, If the wavelength is made four times. The velocity of the wave will also be increased by four times.

Hope you understood the relation between wavelength and velocity of a wave. I truely hope this helps you out tho! Goodluck!
