Answer: The correct option A.

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. But it can be transformed from one form to another.

Law of conservation of Mechanical energy states that mechanical energy of the closed system remain constant until dissipative forces are absent. This means that potential energy gets converted in kinetic energy or vice versa.

Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of the both potential and kinetic energies.

M.E = P.E + K.E

So, from the given options the correct answer is option A.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The direction of motion of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Why?

We can solve the problem by applying the Pitagorean Theorem, where the first speed (to the north) and the second speed (to the east) corresponds to two legs of the right triangle formed with them. (north and east directions are perpendicular each other)

We can calculate the angle that give the direction using the following formula:

$Tan(\alpha)=\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed}\\\\Tan(\alpha)^{-1}=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}\\\\\alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

Now, substituting the given information we have:

$alpha=Tan(\frac{NorthSpeed}{EastSpeed})^{-1}$

$\alpha =Tan(\frac{3.6\frac{m}{s} }{12\frac{m}{s} })^{-1}\\\\\alpha =Tan(0.3)^{-1}=16.69\°(North-East)=16.7\°(North-East)$

Hence, we have that the direction of motion of the person relative to the water is 16.7° north of east.

Have a nice day!

In some areas, farmers have installed windmills to generate electricity to run the farm. Some are generating a surplus of electr

Natalija [7]

The statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment is this: WINDMILLS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Constructing a windmill involves harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity. This type of electricity generation has no side effects whatsoever. It is environmental friendly and does not pollute the environment.

A bowling ball is launched from the top of a building at an angle of 35° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 15 m/s. T

Mamont248 [21]

Let $y_0$ be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when $y=0$ after $t=2.9\,\mathrm s$ . Solve for $y_0$ :

$0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m$

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).

Which of theses substances would be a poor conductor of electricity

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

B. Water and sugar.

Explanation:

In the given options water and sugar would be the poor conductor of electricity. Other given options such as water and salt, water and Hcl and water and NaOH are better conductor of electricity because Hcl ,NaOH, salt (Nacl) can break into their ionic form whereas water and sugar will not.
