Answer:

Both, potential energy and kinetic energy depends on mass. The higher the mass, the higher the energy. However, the difference is that potential energy depends on vertical height whereas kinetic energy depends on the velocity.

Explanation:

From the formula we can see that;

Potential Energy = mass* gravitational acceleration *vertical height.

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity)^2

The denizens of a distant planet live under an atmosphere made predominantly of CO2 which is a dispersive medium while attending

LuckyWell [14K]

Since the frequency of sound in a medium is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

<h3>What is a dispersive medium?</h3>

A dispersive medium is a medium which spreads out or disperses a substance passing through it.

Since CO2 is a dispersive medium, it means sound waves passing through it would be dispersed based on wavelength.

The note of a sound depends on its frequency, the higher the frequency, the higher the note.

Frequency of sound is constant, therefore, the concert-goers would hear the low notes and high notes at the same time.

A Foucault pendulum consists of a brass sphere with a diameter of 31.0 cm suspended from a steel cable 11.0 m long (both measure

kozerog [31]

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

$\alpha_b$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = $18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$\alpha_s$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = $11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$L_{0b}$ = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

$L_{0s}$ = Initial length of steel = 11 m

$\Delta L$ = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

$\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C$

The final temperature is 43.7 °C

The graph in the accompanying figure (Figure 1) shows the magnitude of the force exerted by a given spring as a function of the

serious [3.7K]

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched spring is 1 J.

<h3>What is Hooke's law?</h3>

Hooke's law states that; provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force on the spring.

Given that;

Force on the spring = 350 Newton

Distance stretched = 7 centimeters or 0.07 m

Hence;

F = ke

k = F/e = 350 Newton/0.07 m = 5000 N/m

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke^2

= 0.5 × 5000 × (2 × 10^-2)^2 =1 J

The electric field is measured for points at distances r from the center of a uniformly charged insulating sphere that has volum

RoseWind [281]

For the electric field is measured for points at distances r,Electric field is mathematically given as

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

<h3>What is the Electric field?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the electric field uniform charged is mathematically given as

$E=\frac{lr}{3e0}$

Therefore

E=lr/3E0=3Ee0/r

Therefore

E=3*6*10^4*8.85*10^{-12}

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

In conclusion, E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3

E=19.9*10^{-5}c/m^3
