The complete sentence is as follows:

When a loose brick is resting on a wall, it has potential energy. When the brick is pushed off the wall and is falling down, the amount of potential energy is decreasing while the amount of kinetic energy is increasing.

Explanation:

- Potential energy is the energy related to the position of an object: in particular, gravitational potential energy is given by

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height of the object above the ground.

- Kinetic energy is the energy related to the motion of an object, and it is given by

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

where m is the mass and v the speed of the object.


In the example, we see that:

- at the beginning, the brick is at rest on the wall, so it only has potential energy due to its height above the ground (while the kinetic energy is zero, since it is at rest, so speed v is zero)

- as it falls down, the potential energy decreases, because the height h decreases, while the kinetic energy increases, because the speed of the object increases as it falls down.

Urgent! Based on the diagram below, what color will each pigmented paper appear to be to an observer?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Example A will appear green, while Example B will appear greenish-blue.

Explanation:

The color of an object depend on which part of the visible light it reflects towards the observer. Visible light is made up of seven colors: Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red (VIBGYOR). If all the colors will be reflected object will appear white. If all the colors are absorbed the object appears black. In example A, only green color is being reflected so it will appear <em>Green</em>.

In example B, green and blue are being reflected so the object will appear a mix of green and blue. This color is cyan (greenish blue).

The pulley shown in the attached diagram has a diameter of 30 centimeters and a mass of 19 kilograms. The pulley is a solid disk
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) I = ½mR² = ½(19)(0.15²) = 0.21375 kg•m²

b) τ = Fnet(r) = (25 - 12)(0.15) = 1.95 N•m

c) CCW

d) a = τ/I = 1.95 / 0.21375 = 9.12280701... = 9.1 rad/s²

e) CCW

A horizontal force of 750 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 250-kg crate. What is
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The acceleration of the crate is 1.8 m/s² so the answer is a.

Explanation:

The very first thing you must do when solving this problem is to draw a free body diagram. (The body diagram is attached to this answer)

So once we got the free body diagram, we can analyze it and build our sum of forces in the x and y directions. Notice that according to the diagram, there are 4 forces to this problem, Normal (N), Weight (W), kinetic friction (fk) and the 750N force.

As one may see in the free body diagram, two of the forces are vertical forces: N and W, so we can use them to build a sum of forces:

Starting with the sum of forces in the y-direction, we get:

ΣF_{y}=0

We set the sum equal to zero because there is no movement in the y-direction, so the system is in vertical equilibrium.

so the sum will be:

N-W=0

when solving for N we get that:

N=W

where W is found by multiplying the mass of the crate by the acceleration of gravity:

N=250kg*9.8m/s²

N=2450N

Once we found the normal force, we can use it to find the kinetic friction which is given by the following formula:

f_{k}=Nμ

where μ is the kinetic friction coefficient.

So we get that the kinetic friction is:

f_{k}=2450N*0.12

so

f_{k}=294

With this information we can go ahead and find the sum of horizontal forces:

ΣF_{x}=ma

In this case the sum is equal to mass times acceleration because the crate is moving horizontally due to the action of a force, so it will have an acceleration.

so the sum of forces look like this:

750N-f_{k}=ma

so

750N-294N=(250kg)a

when solving for a we get:

a=\frac{759N-294N}{250kg}\\ \\a=1.8m/s^{2}

so the crate's acceleration is 1.82m/s².

The basic barometer can be used as an altitude-measuring device in airplanes. The ground control reports a barometric reading of
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Δh_air=714m

Explanation:

Given data

P_{1}=753mmHg\\P_{2}=690mmHg\\ p_{air}=1.2kg/m^{3}\\  g=9.8m/s^{2}

Solution

ΔP=P₁-P₂

=(ΔhHg)×pHg×g

=(Δh_air)× p_air ×g

Then

Δh_air=(pHg+ΔhHg)÷p_air

=\frac{13600*(753-690)*10^{-3} }{1.2}\\ =714m

Δh_air=714m
