Answer:

C) Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

As ball is thrown upwards then we can say that speed of the ball will decrease as it will move upwards.

This is due to gravity which act opposite to the motion of the ball

So as the ball is thrown upwards the initial kinetic energy of the ball will start decreasing as it will move upwards

Here we also know that gravitational potential energy of the ball is given as

U = mgh

so as the ball start rising upwards the potential energy of the ball will increase

so here correct answer will be

C) Gravitational potential energy

A 15 kg box is sliding down an incline of 35 degrees. The incline has a coefficient of friction of 0.25. If the box starts at re
valina [46]

The box has 3 forces acting on it:

• its own weight (magnitude <em>w</em>, pointing downward)

• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. <em>n</em>, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)

• friction (mag. <em>f</em>, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)

Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> + <em>w</em> sin(35°) = <em>m a</em>

• net perpendicular force:

∑<em> F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(35°) = 0

Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> cos(35°)

<em>n</em> = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 120 N

Solve for the mag. of friction:

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

<em>f</em> = 0.25 (120 N)

<em>f</em> ≈ 30 N

Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:

-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 3.6 m/s²

Now solve for the block's speed <em>v</em> given that it starts at rest, with <em>v</em>₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆<em>x</em> = 3 m:

<em>v</em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

<em>v</em>² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)

<em>v</em> = √(21.7263 m²/s²)

<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s

A)
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Distance covered is equal to all the distance traveled.

So for example, if you go from A to B, and then from B to C, the total distance covered is AB + BC.

Displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.

So if we go from A to B, the displacement is simply the line AB.

While if we go from A to B, and then from B to C, the displacement will be a segment that directly connects A and C, such that:

displacement = √( (AB)^2 + (BC)^2)

Now, if we want to find the points such that the magnitude of the distance covered is equal to the magnitude of the displacement, we need to look at the pairs that are directly connected by a straight line.

Those are:

A to B  ( or B to A)

B to C  (or C to B)

C to D  (or D to C)

What is the thermal energy of an object?
mr Goodwill [35]
The thermal energy of an object is the energy contained in the motion and vibration of its molecules. Thermal energy is measured through temperature. The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.

Two disks of polaroid are aligned so that they polarize light in the same plane. Calculate the angle through which one sheet nee
Olegator [25]

Answer: The unpolarized light's intensity is reduced by the factor of two when it passes through the polaroid and becomes linearly polarized in the plane of the Polaroid. When the polarized light passes through the polaroid with the plane of polarization at an angle \theta with respect to the polarization plane of the incoming light, the light's intensity is reduced by the factor of \cos^2\theta (this is the Law of Malus).

Explanation: Let us say we have a beam of unpolarized light of intensity I_0 that passes through two parallel Polaroid discs with the angle of \theta between their planes of polarization. We are asked to find \theta such that the intensity of the outgoing beam is I_2. To solve this we follow the steps below:

Step 1. It is known that when the unpolarized light passes through a polaroid its intensity is reduced by the factor of two, meaning that the intensity of the beam passing through the first polaroid is

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}.

This beam also becomes polarized in the plane of the first polaroid.

Step 2. Now the polarized beam hits the surface of the second polaroid whose polarization plane is at an angle \theta with respect to the plane of the polarization of the beam. After passing through the polaroid, the beam remains polarized but in the plane of the second polaroid and its intensity is reduced, according to the Law of Malus, by the factor of \cos^2\theta. This yields I_2=I_1\cos^2\theta. Substituting from the previous step we get

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}\cos^2\theta

yielding

\frac{2I_2}{I_0}=\cos^2\theta

and finally,

\theta=\arccos\sqrt{\frac{2I_2}{I_0}}
