As a falling apple approaches the ground it’s potential energy ?

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is how much energy that object COULD release. When in reference to falling objects, the formula for the potential energy of an object is mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration, and h is the height. This is why, as the height of an object decreases, so does its potential energy. Hope this helps!

If we monitor a point on a wire where there is a current for a certain time interval, which gives the charge that moves through
Temka [501]

Answer:

a. the product of the current and the time interval

Explanation:

the basic formula is: Q = It

current means the time rate of flow of charge: I =\frac{Q}{t}

where Q - charge

            I - current

            t - time

A large number of hydrogen atoms are excited from the ground state to the state with n = 4. At how many different wavelengths ma
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Following are the possible transition

1 ) 4 to 3

2) 4 to 2

3) 4 to 1

4 ) 3 to 2

5 ) 3 to 1

6 ) 2 to 1 .

There are altogether 6 wavelengths of photons possible .

This result can be achieved with the help of permutation and combination.

No of ways in which 2 things can be selected out of 4 things , combination being all different.

Question 4 (18 marks) (a) During a Physics Lab experiment, 1 st year SFY students analyzed the behavior of capacitors by connect
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

1.) 274.5v

2.) 206.8v

Explanation:

1.) Given that In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source.

The potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor will be

V = Voe

Where Vo = initial voltage

e = natural logarithm = 2.718

For the first capacitor 2.50 µF,

V = Vo × 2.718

746 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 746/2.718

Vo = 274.5v

To calculate the charge, use the below formula.

Q = CV

Q = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 274.5

Q = 6.86 × 10^-4 C

For the second capacitor 6.80 µF 

V = Voe

562 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 562/2.718

Vo = 206.77v

The charge on it will be

Q = CV

Q = 6.8 × 10^-6 × 206.77

Q = 1.41 × 10^-3 C

B.) Using the formula V = Voe again

165 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 165 /2.718

Vo = 60.71v

Q = C × 60.71

Q = C

How many miles must you travel to make the Earth fall the same amount?
Ede4ka [16]

Let's take the analogy of the baseball pitcher a step farther. When a baseball is thrown in a straight line, we already said that the ball would fall to Earth because of gravity and atmospheric drag. Let's pretend again that there is no atmosphere, so there is no drag to slow the baseball down. Now, let's assume that the person throwing the ball throws it so fast that as the ball falls towards the Earth, it also travels so far, before falling even a little, that the Earth's surface curves away from the ball's path.

In other words, the baseball falls as it did before, but the ball is moving so fast that the curvature of the Earth becomes a factor and the Earth "falls away" from the ball. So, theoretically, if a pitcher on a 100 foot (30.48 m) high hill threw a ball straight and fast enough,the ball would circle the Earth at exactly 100 feet and hit the pitcher in the back of the head once it circled the globe! The bad news for the person throwing the ball is that the ball will be traveling at the same speed as when they threw it, which is about 8 km/s or several times faster than a rifle bullet. This would be very bad news if it came back and hit the pitcher, but we'll get to that in a minute.
