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.

A (an) __helps lessen the effects of thermal pollution
Hunter-Best [27]

Explanation:

The following measures can be taken to prevent or control high temperature caused by thermal pollution:

1. Heated water from the industries can treated before discharging directly to the water bodies.

2. Heated water from the industries can be treated by the installation of cooling ponds and cooling towers.

3. Industrial treated water can be recycled for domestic use or industrial heating.

4. Through artificial lakes: In this lake Industries can discharge their used or heated water at one end and water for cooling purposes may be withdrawn from the other end. The heat is eventually dissipated through evaporation.

A brand of earplugs reduces the sound intensity level by 27 dB.By what factor do these earplugs reduce the acoustic intensity?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

27dB = 2.7 B

So I / I₀ = 10⁻²°⁷ ,  I₀ is intensity of main sound and I is intensity after reduction.

= 1.99 X 10⁻³

So intensity will reduce by 1.99 X 10⁻³  .
