True.

In vacuum there is no loss of energy, which occurs in water and in air.

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?

Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.

What is the value of x in the equation below 1+2e^x+1=9

GuDViN [60]

<h2>Answer: 1.252</h2>

Explanation:

We are given this equation and we need to find the value of $x$ :

$1+2e^x+1=9$ (1)

Firstly, we have to clear $x$ :

$2e^x=9-1-1$

$2e^x=7$

$e^x=\frac{7}{2}$ (2)

Applying<u> Natural Logarithm</u> on both sides of the equation (2):

$ln(e^x)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (3)

$xln(e)=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (4)

According to the Natural Logarithm rules $xln(e)=x$ , so (4) can be written as:

$x=ln(\frac{7}{2})$ (5)

Finally:

$x=1.252$

a hammer drops from a height of 8 meters. calculate the speed with which it hits the ground. show work

ioda

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer

u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)

v is the final velocity

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(8)}=12.5 m/s$

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. the waves move at 56 km/h and have a wavelength of 160 m, bot

Lera25 [3.4K]

The wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).

The speed of the wave is
$v=56 km/h = 15.6 m/s$
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
$t= \frac{S}{v} = \frac{80 m}{15.6 m/s}=5.1 s$
