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
Physics

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 is the difference between temperature and heat???
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Difference between heat and temperature in tabular form

Heat vs Temperature

1.Heat is a form of energy that can transfer from a hot body to a cold body. and Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of a body.

2.Heat is the total kinetic energy and potential energy obtained by molecules in an object. and Temperature is the average K.E of molecules in a substance.

3.Heat flows from hot body to cold body. It rises when heated and falls down when an object is cooled down and It has a working ability. It does not have the working ability

.

4.Its SI unit is “Joule” and Its SI unit is “Kelvin”.

5.It is measured by the calorimeter and It is measured by the thermometer

.

6.It is represented by “Q”. and It is represented by “T”.

Explanation:

A calorimeter is an object used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity. ... A simple calorimeter just consists of a thermometer attached to a metal container full of water suspended above a combustion chamber.

The viewing screen in a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light. Fringe C is the central maximum. The fringe separation
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

<em>Part A</em><em>:</em>

a) If the wavelength of the light is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

<em>Part B</em><em>:</em>

b) If the spacing between the slits is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will increase.

<em>Part C</em><em>:</em>

a) If the distance to the screen is decreased the fringe spacing will decrease.

<em>Part D</em><em>:</em>

The dot in the center of fringe E is 920\ x\ 10^{-9} m farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

Explanation:

In the double-slit experiment there is a clear contrast between the dark and bright fringes, that indicate destructive and constructive interference respectively, in the central peak and then is less so at either side.

The position of bright fringes in the screen where the pattern is formed can be calculated with

                      \vartriangle y =\frac{m \lambda L}{d}

                      m=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,.....

  1. m is the order number.
  2. \lambda is the wavelength of the monochromatic light.
  3. L is the distance between the screen and the two slits.
  4. d is the distance between the slits.
  • Part A:  a) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the wavelength of the light \lambda is decreased the overall effect will be that the fringes are going to be closer. That means that the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.
  • Part B:  b) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the spacing between the slits d is decreased the fringes are going to be wider apart. That means the fringe spacing Δy will increase.
  • Part C:  a) In the above equation we can see that if the distance to the screen L is decreased the fringes are going to be closer. That means the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.
  • Part D: We are told that the central maximum is the fringe C that corresponds with m=0. That means that fringe E corresponds with the order number m=2 if we consider it to be the second maximum at the rigth of the central one. To calculate how much farther from the left slit than from the right slit is a dot located at  the center of the fringe E in the screen we use the condition for constructive interference. That says that the  path length difference Δr between rays coming from the left and right slit must be \vartriangle r=m \lambda

        We simply replace the values in that equation :

                      \vartriangle r= m \lambda =2.\ 460\ nm

                      \vartriangle r= 920\ x\ 10^{-9} m

         The dot in the center of fringe E is 920\ x\ 10^{-9}m farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

Winds are deflected to the (right/left) ___ as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.
SashulF [63]

Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.

In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.
