Answer:
The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.
Explanation:
The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.
The form of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength of 10-7 nanometers is known as Ultraviolet. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.
<h3>What is Electromagnetic radiation?</h3>
Electromagnetic radiation may be defined as a type of radiation that considerably possesses both electric and magnetic fields. Apart from this, these radiations always travel in waves. Electromagnetic radiations include visible light, radio waves, gamma rays, X-rays, etc.
Among all kinds of electromagnetic radiations, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and high frequency. While microwaves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. As the wavelength and frequency are inversely related to one another.
Therefore, ultraviolet radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength of 10-7 nanometers. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

Answer:
0 degrees
Explanation:
Let are two forces. The resultant of two forces acting on the same point is given by :
Where is the angle between two forces
When i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,
When i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,
When i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,
It is clear that the resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is 0 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
14.9 m /s
Explanation:
n = n° x v /[ v -v (s) ]
n is apparent frequency , n° is source frequency,v is speed of sound and v(s)
speed of source.
2300 = 2200 x 343 / [343 -v(s)]
v (s ) = 14.9 m /s.
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The suspended wire is in the shape of a parabola defined by the equation
y = ax²
where a = a positive constant.
The derivative of y with respect to x is y' = 2ax.
The vertex is at (0,0) and the line of symmetry is x = 0.
The suspended length is 41 ft, therefore half the suspended length is 20.5 ft.
The length between x = 0 and x = 20 is given by
Because we do not know the value of a, we shall find it numerically.
Define the function
The plot for f(a) versus a yields an approximate solution (from Matlab) of a = 0.01 (shown in the figure).
Therefore
y = 0.01x²
When x = 20 ft, h = 0.01(400) = 4 ft
Because the vertex of the parabola is 19 ft above ground, the support points for the wire are 19 + h = 23 ft above ground.
Answer: 23.00 ft
