Calculate the potential energy of a 20-kg sled at 40 meters

Answer: 7840N

Explanation:

Given that

Potential energy = ?

Mass of sled = 20-kg

Distance = 40 meters

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest

i.e potential energy = mass m x acceleration due to gravity g x distance h

P.E = mgh

P.E = 20kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 40m

P.E = 7840N

Thus, the potential energy of the sled is 7840N

The above answer is correct however gravitational potential energy is measured in joules. So the final answer would be 7840 J (joules) not newton’s.

A golf ball reaches a height of 150 m before it stops rising and starts to fall to the ground. What is the golf balls speed (rou
artcher [175]

Answer:

v = 54 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum height of the flight of golf ball, h = 150 m

The velocity at height h, u = 0

The velocity of the golf ball right before it hits the ground, v = ?

Using the III equations of motion

                               <em>  v² = u² + 2gh</em>

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                 v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 150 m

                                     = 2940

                                  v = 54 m/s

Hence, the speed of the golf ball right before it hits the ground, v = 54 m/s

Find the current if 55 C of charge pass a particular point in a circuit in 5 seconds.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

<em>The current is 11 Amperes</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Current</u>

The electric current is defined as a stream of charged particles that move through a conductive path.

The current intensity can be calculated as:

\displaystyle I=\frac{Q}{t}

Where:

Q = Electric charge

t   = Time taken by the charge to move through the conductor

The current intensity is often measured in Amperes.

The charge passing through a point in a circuit is Q= 55 c during t=5 seconds, thus the current intensity is:

\displaystyle I=\frac{55}{5}

I = 11 Amp

The current is 11 Amperes

In the macroscopic world, you know that you can hear but cannot see around corners. Under what conditions does light bend around
omeli [17]

Answer:

a much larger slit, the phenomenon of Sound diffraction that slits for light.

this is a series of equally spaced lines giving a diffraction envelope

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

    d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the distance of the slit, m the order of diffraction that is an integer and λ the wavelength.

 

For train the diffraction phenomenon, the d / Lam ratio is decisive if this relation of the gap separation in much greater than the wavelength does not reduce the diffraction phenomenon but the phenomena of geometric optics.

The wavelength range for visible light is 4 10⁻⁷ m to 7 10⁻⁷ m. The wavelength range for sound is 17 m to 1.7 10⁻² m. Therefore, with a much larger slit, the phenomenon of Sound diffraction that slits for light.

When we add a second slit we have the diffraction of each one separated by the distance between them, when the integrals are made we arrive at the result of the interference phenomenon, a this is a series of equally spaced lines giving a diffraction envelope

When I separate the distance between the two slits a lot, the time comes when we see two individual diffraction patterns
