A ball is drop from the top of a building. You choose the top of the building to be the reference level while your friend choose

the bottom. Explain wether the energy calculates using these two reference level is the same or different for the following situations

KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Based on the references, the calculated potential energy is the same if the reference used is the same or different.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is the energy at rest in body.

The change in potential energy is given as:

    ΔE  = E₂ - E₁

E₂ is the final potential energy and E₁ is the initial potential energy.

Since when the body comes to rest after falling through a height, the final potential energy is 0.

The change in potential energy does not depend on the reference.

What current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20cm long when 1000V is applied?
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 0.0039\ A

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the rod d=2.54\ cm

length of rod is l=20\ cm

Resistivity of silicon is \rho=6.4\times 10^2\ \Omega-m

cross-section of the rod A

\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3.142\times 2.54^2\times 10^{-4}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=5.067\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Resistance of rod is  R

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{640\times 0.20}{5.067\times 10^{-4}}\\\\\Rightarrow R=25.26\times 10^4\ \Omega

Current is given by

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1000}{25.26\times 10^4}\\\\\Rightarrow I=0.0039\ A

Estimate the monthly cost of using a 700 W refrigerator that runs for 10 hours a day if the cost per kilowatt hours is cents $.2
Mrac [35]

Answer:

$4.2

Explanation:

Given data

Power= 700W

time= 10 hours

Cost per kilowatt hours is cents $0.20

Let us find the number of hours in a month

=24*30

=720 hours

Energ= power*time

Energy= 700/1000*30

Energy= 7*3

Enery= 21 kwh

1 kwh= 0.2

21kwh= x

cross multiply

x=21*0.2

x= $4.2

Suppose a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency. Which has the longer wavelength? 1. the electromagneti
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.
