Complete Question

The diagram for this question is showed on the first uploaded image (reference homework solutions )

Answer:

The  velocity at the bottom is  v  = 11.76  \ m/ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  total distance traveled is  d =  1.2  \ m

    The mass of the block is  m_b  =  0.3 \ kg

      The  height of the block from the ground is h =  0.60 m  

According the law of  energy  

   PE  =  KE

Where  PE  is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

      PE  =  m * g  *  h

substituting values

     PE  =   3 *  9.8  *  0.60

      PE  =  17.64 \  J

So

   KE  is the kinetic energy at the bottom which is mathematically represented as

          KE  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m v^2

So

      \frac{1}{2}  *  m* v ^2  =  PE

substituting values  

  =>    \frac{1}{2}  *  3 * v ^2  = 17.64

=>       v  = \sqrt{ \frac{ 17.64}{ 0.5 * 3 } }

=>    v  = 11.76  \ m/ s

Sound is a mechanical wave; therefore, it __________.
avanturin [10]
A mechanical wave such as sound needs a medium to travel through. This is why they say that in space, no one can hear you scream (because space is a vacuum and no medium exists). On the contrary, light can exist in wave or particle form. This is why we have the ability to see beyond the realms of the Earth.

When an object moves in a circular path, it accelerates toward the center of the circle as a result of ______.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

An object moving around a xirxular path maintains its route as a result of centripetal force. However, its acceleration is caused by centripetal acceleration. Despite centripetal acceleration not being among the choices, it is the right answer.

Centripetal acceleration helps an object that navigates around a circular path to accelerate while centripetal force enables the movement of an object around a circular path to move inwards. Momentum, given as one of the choices is product of mass and velocity while friction is the force opposing movement of an object around a surface.
