Answer:

Correct sentence: gravitational potential energy of the mass on the hook.

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of a body or a physical system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy. It is a scalar magnitude related to the movement of bodies and to forces of mechanical origin, such as gravitational force and elastic force, whose main exponent is Hooke's Law. Both are conservative forces. The mechanical energy associated with the movement of a body is kinetic energy, which depends on its mass and speed. On the other hand, the mechanical energy of potential origin or potential energy, has its origin in the conservative forces, comes from the work done by them and depends on their mass and position. The principle of conservation of energy relates both energies and expresses that the sum of both energies, the potential energy and the kinetic energy of a body or a physical system, remains constant. This sum is known as the mechanical energy of the body or physical system.

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the block comes from the transformation in this of the gravitational potential energy of the suspended mass as it loses height with respect to the earth, keeping the mechanical energy of the system constant.

The heat is transferred to one material to another, however insulators minimize that transfer, keeping it in the area, warming it.

Green light (λ = 518 nm) strikes a single slit at normal incidence. What width slit will produce a central maximum that is 3.00

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

$d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda$

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

$sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m$ ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

$y=L\times tan\theta$

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , $sin\theta=tan\theta$

So,

Formula becomes:

$y=L\times sin\theta$

Using 1, we get:

$y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m$

Thus, the distance between the central maximum is 3.00 cm

First bright fringe , m = 1 occur at 3.00 / 2 = 1.50 cm

Since,

1 cm = 0.01 m

y = 0.0150 m

Given L = 2.00 m

λ = 518 nm

Since, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

λ = 518 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying the formula as:

$0.0150\ m=2.00\ m\times \frac {518\times 10^{-9}\ m}{d}\times 1$

⇒ d, distance between the slits = 6.9066 × 10⁻⁵ m

Please Help!!! For A&B

klio [65]

Answer:

A. 40N

B. 5m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is equal to the area under the curve of a force vs. time graph. In this case, the area is in the shape of a triangle with base 8 (12-4=8) and perpendicular height 10:

Area of a triangle = (1/2)bh

A=(1/2)*8*10

=40

ANSWER: 40N

Impulse = mass * velocity

40 = 8v

v = 5

Suppose that a nascar race car is moving to the right with a constant velocity of +86 m/s. What is the average acceleration of t

Stels [109]

(a) As the car is moving with constant velocity, it means the rate change of velocity does not change, therefore the average acceleration of the car is zero.

Thus, there is no acceleration, when velocity is constant.

(b) Average acceleration,

$a =\frac{ v-u}{\Delta t}$
