Answer:

The object is 1.2755 meters above the ground

Explanation:

Recall the formula for gravitational potential energy for an object of mass "m" at a height "h" above the ground:

PE=m\,*\,g\,*\,h

In this case, since we are given the mass of the object and the object's potential energy, we can estimate the only unknown (height "h") from the formula shown above. Also since all units are given in the SI system, the result for the object's height will result in meters:

PE=m\,*\,g\,*\,h\\12.5\,J=1.0\,kg\,*9.8\,\frac{m}{s^2} \,*\,h\\\frac{12.5}{9.8} \,meters= h\\h=1.2755\ meters

What allows the bimetallic coil to turn on or off a heating or cooling system? The two metals contract the same amount. The ther
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The two metals expand differently.

Explanation:

The bimetallic strip has two metal strips positioned like a bridge, these strips connect the electrical circuit to the heating system. When these strips are linear or "down" they allow the electricity to move through the circuit to the heating system to turn the heat on. When the strips are "up" the disconnect the electricity flow, thus turning the heating system off, thus the room becomes cool/cold.

One of the harmonics of a string fixed at both ends has a frequency of 52.2 Hz and the next higher harmonic has a frequency of 6
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Solution :

Frequency may be defined as the number of observation or number of waves that is taken in per unit time. The unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz.

It is given that :

Successive harmonic frequencies, f = 52.2 Hz

and f' = 60.9 Hz

Therefore, fundamental frequency, F = f' - f

                                                           F = 60.9 - 52.2

                                                          F = 8.7 Hz

Therefore the string which is fixed at both the ends forms all the harmonics.

Answer:

<h2>C. <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u></h2>

Explanation:

Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.

Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)

BEFORE COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s

AFTER COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s

<u>x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball</u>

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =

0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s

Using the law of conservation of momentum;

0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125

0.25x = 0.25-0.1125

0.25x = 0.1375

x = 0.1375/0.25

x = 0.55m/s

Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u>

<u></u>
