Answer:

C. 21 Joules

Explanation:

We apply the formula to calculate the potential energy (Ep):

Ep=m*g*h

Where:

Ep : potential energy in Joules (J)

m :mass in kilograms (kg)

g  acceleration due to gravity  (m/s²)

h: height in meters (m)

Calculation of the height (h)

Ep = m*g*h

7 = (1.5 )*(9.8) *(h )

7 = (14.7) (h )

h = 7 /  (14.7)

h= 0.476 m

Gravitational potential energy of the second object

Ep = m*g*h

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = 21 J

A transverse wave on a rope is given by y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(π[(0.400cm−1)x+(250s−1)t]). part a part complete find the amplitude
Pani-rosa [81]
The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its maximum oscillation of the wave itself. 
In our problem, the equation of the wave is
y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(\pi [(0.400cm-1)x+(250s-1)t])
We can see that the maximum value of y(x,t) is reached when the cosine is equal to 1. When this condition occurs,
y(x,t)=0.750 cm
and therefore this value corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.
