Answer:

The correct answer is "0.246".

Explanation:

Given that the amplitude is decreased by a factor of 9, then

A \rightarrow (A-\frac{A}{9} )

A \rightarrow \frac{8A}{9}

As we know,

Energy will be:

⇒  E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}KA^2

and,

⇒  E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}K(\frac{8A}{9} )^2

          =\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \Delta E=E_1-E_2

On putting the estimated values, we get

           =\frac{1}{2}KA^2-\frac{64KA^2}{162}

⇒  \frac{\Delta E}{E}=\frac{\frac{20}{162}KA^2}{\frac{1}{2}KA^2}

          =\frac{40}{162}

          =0.246

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distan
Triss [41]

Answer:

<em>The distance covered by comet is </em>200,000 km

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= \bold{\frac{distance}{time}}

Thus distance= speed*time

In this problem it is given that speed of comet= \frac{50,000km}{hr}

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance= speed*time

                            = 500000*4

                            = \bold{200,000km}

C. sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides

These three chemical compounds play a role in the chemistry of acid rain or acid precipitation. These compounds are then in the process as they evaporate are converted into acids, mainly, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. These toxic gases that composes acid precipitation is actually caused by industries, factories or plants that utilizes such chemicals and then uses a humongous amount which then is released in during the process of certain products or manufactured objects.
