Answer:

The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy

              Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall

                                E_{i}  = E_{f}

Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy

K.E_{i} + P.E_{i} = K.E_{f} + P.E_{f}       (a)

When banana is at height h, it has

                 K.E_{i} = 0    and    P.E_{i} = mgh          

and when it reaches the river, it has

       K.E_{f}  = 1/2mv^{2}    and   P.E_{f}  = 0

Putting the values in equation (a)

                              0 + mgh = 1/2mv^{2} + 0

                                      mgh = 1/2mv^{2}

<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>

<em>                                           </em>gh = 1/2v^{2}

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is

                                          v = \sqrt{2gh}

The potential difference in a simple circuit is 2 v and the resistance is 2 ω . what current flows in the circuit? answer in uni
balandron [24]
Hey

Potential Difference given is : 2V

Resistance is : 2 ohms

By Ohm's Law, one can easily utilize the relation :

v = ir

Where, { v , i , r } are the potential difference, current and Resistance Respectively.


Hence,
i =  \frac{v}{r}  =  \frac{2}{2}  = 1a

Hence, the Current is 1 Ampere

Summarize the Venn diagram.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

If this is a multiple choice question, then the answer is D.

Explanation:

Compounds are composed of atoms, which are composed of subatomic particles and consist of matter. Since they are composed of atoms rather than vice-versa, compounds cannot be found inside atoms and are not the most basic form of matter (ruling out A and C). A pure substance contains atoms, which are each composed of subatomic particles. Therefore, a pure substance must have atoms if it contains subatomic particles (ruling out B). The only answer left is D.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
W=Fd

In Ch. 1.6, the authors point out that interstellar space is not actually as empty as it seems. There is actually a lot of diffu
wel

Answer:

very small solid particles called interstellar dust.

Explanation:

In the space between the stars there is gas and dust, which represent at least 20% of the mass of our galaxy. In the Milky Way it is considered that there is a gas density of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 atoms / cm3 in the surroundings of the Sun; with respect to the dust an average of 1 g / cm3 is estimated.

Gas is about atoms and molecules, mainly hydrogen; In order of abundance, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and iron follow. On the other hand, the dust is tiny particles, generally smaller than 10 microns; the dust does not shine and therefore it is only distinguished when it is projected on bright regions (nebulae or clusters).

Interstellar matter is mainly concentrated towards the plane of the galaxy, in the strip corresponding to the Milky Way; there you can see bright nebulas of diffuse character called nebulas. These nebulae are classified according to three types: (a) bright or emission nebulae, (b) reflection nebulae and (c) planetary nebulae.

Hydrogen appears both ionized and neutral; The bright nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen and other ionized elements. Non-ionized (neutral) hydrogen is found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way and can be detected through radio waves.
