Answer:

Emechanical=mgh+ $\frac{1}{2}$ mν²

Explanation:

The equation for the total mechanical energy is:

Emechanical=Epotential+Ekinetic

In which,

Epotential=mgh; m: mass of the body, g: gravity; h: height

Ekinetic= $\frac{1}{2}$ mν²; m: mass of the body, ν: velocity of the body

So,

Emechanical=mgh+ $\frac{1}{2}$ mν²

An object has an average acceleration of +6.18 m/s2 for 0.266 s . At the end of this time the object's velocity is +9.90 m/s .

Archy [21]

At the start of the 0.266 s, the object's speed was 8.26 m/s.

The question can only be talking about speed, not velocity.

Which image illustrates why dark clothing helps to keep you warm on a cool, sunny day?

xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

I suppose it has to do with the way the diagram is drawn. The heat does not reflect which makes both A and B incorrect.

C would have nothing to do with either reflection or refraction.

That only leaves D which is the answer.

In a certain city, electricity costs $0.20 per kw·h. what is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 8.00 hours

UNO [17]

Part a)

per day electricity power consumed when 100 W bulb is used for 8 hours

$P = 8 * 100 = 800 Wh$

for one year consumption

$E = 365 * 800 = 292 kWH$

now the cost will be given

$cost = 0.20 * 292 = $ 58.4$

now when other energy efficient light is used

$P = 8 * 25 = 200 Wh$

for one year consumption

$E = 365 * 200 = 73 kWH$

now the cost will be given

$cost = 0.20 * 73 = $ 14.6$

The form of energy given off by the vibrating strings of the violin is? A. Electrical Energy B. Potential Energy C. Radiant Ener

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

D . Sound energy

Explanation:

When the strings of a violin vibrate it produces sound which is sound energy. Due to the vibration of the strings the air present near the strings also vibrate in resonance with the strings. This compreesion and decompression's produced in the air is nothing but the sound. So the form of energy given off by the vibrating strings of the violin is Sound energy.
