A sled of mass m is coasting on the icy surface of a frozen river. While it is passing under a bridge, a package of equal mass m

is dropped straight down and lands on the sled (without causing any damage). The sled plus the added load then continue along the original line of motion. How does the kinetic energy of the (sled + load) compare with the original kinetic energy of the sled? A) It is 1/4 the original kinetic energy of the sled. B) It is 1/2 the original kinetic energy of the sled. C) It is 3/4 the original kinetic energy of the sled. D) It is the same as the original kinetic energy of the sled. E) It is twice the original kinetic energy of the sled.

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

mass of Sled is m

another package of mass m is thrown on it

Suppose u be the initial velocity of sled

conserving momentum

mu=2mv

v=\frac{u}{2}

where v is the final velocity

Initial kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}(2m)\cdot (\frac{u}{2})^2

Final Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}mu^2

Final kinetic Energy is half of initial

A wave on a string is reflected from a fixed end. The reflected wave 1. Is in phase with the original wave at the end. 2. Has a
MrRa [10]

Answer:

3. Is 180◦ out of phase with the original wave at the end.

Explanation:

Here when wave is reflected by the rigid boundary then due to the rigidly bounded particles at the end or boundary they have tendency not to move and remains fixed at their position.

Due to this fixed position we can say when wave reach at that end the particles will not move and they apply equal and opposite force at the particles of string

Due to this the reflected wave is transferred back into the string in opposite phase with respect to the initial wave

so here correct answer will be

3. Is 180◦ out of phase with the original wave at the end.

A higher albedo means there will be
lozanna [386]
Albedo is how much sunlight reflects off the surface of the Earth. More albedo could mean a number of things. Higher temps, more photochemical smog, it all depends on where the albedo is occurring.

Answer:

  (D)  4

Explanation:

The percentage error in each of the contributors to the calculation is 1%. The maximum error in the calculation is approximately the sum of the errors of each contributor, multiplied by the number of times it is a factor in the calculation.

  density = mass/volume

  density = mass/(π(radius^2)(length))

So, mass and length are each a factor once, and radius is a factor twice. Then the total percentage error is approximately 1% +1% +2×1% = 4%.

_____

If you look at the maximum and minimum density, you find they are ...

  {0.0611718, 0.0662668} g/(mm²·cm)

The ratio of the maximum value to the mean of these values is about 1.03998. So, the maximum is 3.998% higher than the "nominal" density.

The error is about 4%.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you work through the details of the math, you will see that the above-described sum of error percentages is <em>just an approximation</em>. If you need a more exact error estimate, it is best to work with the ranges of the numbers involved, and/or their distributions.

Using numbers with uniformly distributed errors will give different results than with normally distributed errors. When such distributions are involved, you need to carefully define what you mean by a maximum error. (By definition, normal distributions extend to infinity in both directions.) While the central limit theorem tends to apply, the actual shape of the error distribution may not be precisely normal.

Identify the ways in which carbon is added to the atmosphere?
marissa [1.9K]
Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants get rid ofcarbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

Which of the following has the most biomass? a. quaternary consumers b. secondary consumers c. primary consumers d. producers
elena-s [515]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Producers </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>Producers </em></u>occupy the lowest level in any food chain or food web. They are the organisms that all other organisms in the food chain rely on.
  • <em><u>Producers </u></em>have the ability to make their own food through the process of photosynthesis where they use energy from sunlight, together with water and carbon dioxide to generate food.
  • The ability of producers to make their own food and the fact that they occupy the lowest level in a food chain means <em><u>they have the highest biomass.</u></em>
