shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The Energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state is called Potential energy.

Mathematically potential energy can be written as,

Potential energy = mgh

Where 'm' represents mass of the body, 'g' represents gravity of the earth and 'h' represents height of body. Potential energy depends on the height, higher the hight from the surface of the earth, maximum will be the potential energy.

Two trains are traveling on the same track and in the same direction. The first train, which is behind the second train, blows a

Andrews [41]

Answer:

37.545 m/s

Explanation:

f' = Actual frequency of horn = 269 Hz

f = Observed frequency of horn = 290 Hz

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

$v_0$ = Speed of second train = 13.7 m/s

$v_s$ = Speed of first train

From Doppler effect we have

$f=f'\dfrac{v-v_0}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow v_s=v-\dfrac{f'}{f}(v-v_0)\\\Rightarrow v_s=343-\dfrac{269}{290}(343-13.7)\\\Rightarrow v_s=37.545\ m/s$

The speed of the first train is 37.545 m/s

Virty [35]

Complete Question

A ball having mass 2 kg is connected by a string of length 2 m to a pivot point and held in place in a vertical position. A constant wind force of magnitude 13.2 N blows from left to right. Pivot Pivot F F (a) (b) H m m L L If the mass is released from the vertical position, what maximum height above its initial position will it attain? Assume that the string does not break in the process. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.What will be the equilibrium height of the mass?

Answer:

$H_m=1.65m$

$H_E=1.16307m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of ball $M=2kg$

Length of string $L= 2m$

Wind force $F=13.2N$

Generally the equation for $\angle \theta$ is mathematically given as

$tan\theta=\frac{F}{mg}$

$\theta=tan^-^1\frac{F}{mg}$

$\theta=tan^-^1\frac{13.2}{2*2}$

$\theta=73.14\textdegree$

Max angle = $2*\theta= 2*73.14=>146.28\textdegree$

Generally the equation for max Height $H_m$ is mathematically given as

$H_m=L(1-cos146.28)$

$H_m=0.9(1+0.8318)$

$H_m=1.65m$

Generally the equation for Equilibrium Height $H_E$ is mathematically given as

$H_E=L(1-cos73.14)$

$H_E=0.9(1+0.2923)$

$H_E=1.16307m$

Which statement best defines inertia? An object's motion is unaffected by any external forces acting upon it. An object responds

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

An object responds to a force by tending to move in the direction of that force

Explanation:

The inertia of a body can be defined with the help of Newton's second law

F = m a

Where F is the applied force, a is the acceleration of the body and m is the mass

the force and the acceleration are vectors that point in the same direction and m is a scalar constant that relates the two vectors, this scalar constant is called masses and it measures the resistance of the bodies to the change of motion.

From the previous statement we see that the statement that best describes inertia is:

An object responds to force by tending to move in the direction of the force.
