Question 18

Physics
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

5.5 kg

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

U=mgh

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object above the ground

For the rock in the problem, we know:

h = 12 m is the height above the ground

U = 650 J

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, we can solve the equation for m, the mass of the rock:

m=\frac{U}{gh}=\frac{650}{(9.8)(12)}=5.5 kg

9. Using these words explain how matter and energy interact when waves are generated. Disturbance ______________________________
ohaa [14]

Answer:

A wave is a disturbance of the space (or of a medium), that carries energy without transmitting matter.

A wave is produced when there is a periodic vibration in the particles of a medium (mechanical wave), or when there is a periodic oscillation of the electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic waves). Electromagnetic waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum.

Mechanical waves are further classified into two types, depending on how the particles in the medium vibrate:

- If they vibrate up and down (perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called transverse waves

- If they vibrate back and forth (parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), they are called longitudinal waves

In general, waves are generated from a precise point in the space, which is called source of the wave. The source of the wave does work, since it is responsible for starting the motion of the particle, and make them starting vibrating, so it transmits energy to the particles.

The velocity versus time graph of particle A is tangent to the velocity versus time graph for particle B at point O. What is the
Fudgin [204]

Answer: C. -1.16 meters/second2

Explanation:

A= v/t (velocity/time)

in this case: v=7 and t=6

So, A= 7/6

A=1.16

The graph is decreasing so accelleration would be negative

A= <u>-1.16 meters/second2</u>

<u>Option C!</u> ; )

How often do the earth's magnetic poles switch?
RSB [31]
Reversals are the rule, not the exception. Earth has settled in the last 20 million years into a pattern of a pole<span> reversal about every 200,000 to 300,000 years, although it has been more than twice that </span>long<span> since the last reversal.</span>

A train travels 77 kilometers in 1 hour, and the 66 kilometers in 1 hour. What is the average speed?
Kipish [7]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (77km + 66km) = 143 kilometers

Time to cover the distance = 2 hours

Average speed = (143 km) / (2 hours) =  71.5 km per hour
