Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J

Instantaneous speed is measured
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C. At a particular instant

Explanation:

Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance and t the time.

However, there are two possible measurements of speed:

- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is

v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s

- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.

an electric device is plugged into a 110v wall socket. if the device consumes 500 w of power, what is the resistance of the devi
andreev551 [17]

Answer: R=24.2Ω

Explanation: <u>Power</u> is rate of work being done in an electric circuit. It relates to voltage, current and resistance through the following formulas:

P=V.i

P=R.i²

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

The resistance of the system is:

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

R=\frac{V^{2}}{P}

R=\frac{110^{2}}{500}

R = 24.2Ω

<u>For the device, resistance is 24.2Ω.</u>

I would say that it would be A.) Been insulted. This is because you are angered by someone else. It does not necessarily mean that something has de-escelated, you've lost control of your car, or you've nothing to lose. Hopefully that helps. :)
