Answer:

its speed when its height was half that of its starting point is 25.46 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

final speed of the roller coaster, v = 36 m/s

Applying general equation of motion;

V² = U² + 2gh

where;

V is the final speed of the roller coaster

U is the initial speed of the roller coaster = 0

h is the height attained at a given velocity

36² = 0 + (2 x 9.8)h

1296 = 19.6 h

h = 1296/19.6

h = 66.1224 m

when its height was half that of its starting point, h₂ = ¹/₂ h

h₂ = ¹/₂(66.1224 m) = 33.061 m

At h = 33.061 m, V = ?

V² = U² + 2gh

V² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 33.061

V² = 648

V = √648

V = 25.46 m/s

Therefore, its speed when its height was half that of its starting point is 25.46 m/s

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D) Standing wave

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Standing wave also called stationary wave  is a wave which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
  • A standing wave pattern is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source.
  • Examples of standing waves include the vibration of a violin string and electron orbitals in an atom.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

I₁ > I₃ > I₂

Explanation:

Taking the pic shown, we have

m₁ = 10m₀

m₂ = 2m₀

m₃ = m₀

r₁ = r₀

r₂ = 2r₀

r₃ = 3r₀

We apply the formula

I = mr²

then

I₁ = m₁r₁² = (10m₀)(r₀)² = 10m₀r₀²

I₂ = m₂r₂² = (2m₀)(2r₀)² = 8m₀r₀²

I₃ = m₃r₃² = (m₀)(3r₀)² = 9m₀r₀²

finally we have

I₁ > I₃ > I₂

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.
