In first moment, ball has max kinetic energy and it gravitational potential is lowest. On the maximum height, kinetic energy is lowest and the gravitational is lowest. Moment before ball hits ground its kinetic energy is highest and gravitational potential is lowest.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is due to the motion of the object.

The potential energy is due to the position of the object.

When a basketball is thrown upward then the kinetic energy decreases and the potential energy will be maximum when it will reach its maximum height.

When it starts falling then potential energy starts decreases due to the decrease in the height and the kinetic energy starts increases.

Two strings are adjusted to vibrate at exactly 202 Hz. Then the tension in one string isincreased slightly. Afterward, three bea
Semenov [28]

The concepts necessary to solve this problem are framed in the expression of string vibration frequency as well as the expression of the number of beats per second conditioned at two frequencies.

Mathematically, the frequency of the vibration of a string can be expressed as

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Where,

L = Vibrating length string

T = Tension in the string

\mu = Linear mass density

At the same time we have the expression for the number of beats described as

n = |f_1-f_2|

Where

f_1 = First frequency

f_2 = Second frequency

From the previously given data we can directly observe that the frequency is directly proportional to the root of the mechanical Tension:

f \propto \sqrt{T}

If we analyze carefully we can realize that when there is an increase in the frequency ratio on the tight string it increases. Therefore, the beats will be constituted under two waves; one from the first string and the second as a residue of the tight wave, as well

n = f_2-f_1

f_2 = n+f_1

Replacing 3/sfor n and 202Hz for f_1,

f_2 = 3/s + 202Hz

f_2 = 3/s(\frac{1Hz}{1/s})+202Hz

f_2 = 206Hz

The frequency of the tightened is 205Hz

Car A is traveling west at 40 mi/h and car B is traveling north at 40 mi/h. Both are headed for the intersection of the two road
Gwar [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

    \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h,     \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h

The negative sign indicates that x and y are decreasing.

We have to find \frac{dz}{dt}. Equation for the given variables according to the Pythagoras theorem is as follows.

              z^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}

Now, we will differentiate each side w.r.t 't' as follows.

        2z\frac{dz}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

or,          \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

So, when x = 4 mi, and y = 3 mi then z = 5 mi.

As,       \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

                       = \frac{1}{5}(4 \times (-40) + 3 \times (-40))

                       = \frac{-140 - 120}{5}

                       = 52

Thus, we can conclude that the cars are approaching at a rate of 52 mi/h.

Diverging lens

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of lens  = -2.0D

Unknown:

Focal length  = ?

Solution:

The power of lens is the reciprocal of the focal length;

   P  = \frac{1}{f}

where  f is the focal length

 f  = \frac{1}{P}   = -\frac{1}{2}

The lens is a diverging lens
