Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is energy within an object with respect to its height. The equation of gpe is:

GPE = mgh

where:
m = mass of object
g = gravitational constant, 9.81 m/s^2
h = height

For a given gpe of 20 J, the height can be calculated as follows:
*Remember to be consistent with units. Since Joule is derived from SI units, make sure to use SI units for the other variables

GPE = 20 J = 1 (9.81) (h)
h = 2.04 meters

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.
algol [13]

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .

A uniform disk is constrained to rotate about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to the plane of the disk. If
ella [17]

Answer:

442.5 rad

Explanation:

w₀ = initial angular velocity of the disk = 7.0 rad/s

α = Constant angular acceleration = 3.0 rad/s²

t = time period of rotation of the disk = 15 s

θ = angular displacement of the point on the rim

Angular displacement of the point on the rim is given as

θ = w₀ t + (0.5) α t²

inserting the values

θ = (7.0) (15) + (0.5) (3.0) (15)²

θ = 442.5 rad

The index of refraction for a certain type of glass is 1.641 for blue light and 1.603 for red light. When a beam of white light
exis [7]

Answer:

The angle between the emergent blue and red light is 0.566^{o}

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

n_{1}sin(\theta _{i})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{r})

Since medium from which light enter's is air thus n_{1}=1

Thus for blue incident light we have

1\times sin(40.05)=1.641\times sin(\theta _{rb})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rb}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.64})\\\\\theta _{rb}=23.10

Similarly using the same procedure for red light we have

1\times sin(40.05)=1.603\times sin(\theta _{rr})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rr}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.603})\\\\\theta _{rr}=23.66^{o}

Thus the absolute value of angle between the refracted blue and red light is

|23.66-23.10|=0.566^{o}
