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}

Answer:

Kinetic energy does not stay the same at all heights

Explanation:

Well as the height and wind increase so does the kinetic energy it's like when you fall as you are about to hit the floor you speed increases

What is the wavelength of a sound wave<br> with a speed of 331 m/s and a frequency<br> of 500 Hz?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

0.777m

Explanation:

The sound wave has a wavelength of 0.773m.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use the wave equation that is given below:

We know the frequency and the velocity, both of which have good units. All we have to do is rearrange the equation and solve for  

λ :

λ = v f

Let's plug in our given values and see what we get!

λ = 340 m s

440 s − 1

λ = 0.773 m

Hope this helps, Mark as brainliest if u want

Novay_Z [31]
If you're moving at 70 mi/hr, then you cover 33.88 feet in 0.33 sec. If you're moving at 1,000 ft/sec, then you cover 33 feet in 0.33 sec. 70 mph and 1,000 fps are not equivalent. 1,000 fps is about 682 mph, whereas 70 mph is about 103 fps.
