PEg = Mass x Height x Gravity. So it doesn't matter how much PEg she started with, since you're finding how much it changed when she walked down 2.5 meters of stairs. So by plugging into the equation, you'll find how much potential energy was lost by walking down. (I'll leave it up to you since idk if you use 10 or 9.8 as gravity)

To find gravitational potential energy you need to multiply weight * height. The weight in this situation would be 380-N. Our height is 2.5 m. 380 *2.5= 950, or 950 J of gravitational potential energy.

Which of the following changes will increase the period of an oscillating spring mass system?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a. an increase in the mass on the spring.

Explanation:

T = 2π/ω = 2π/√(k/m) = 2π√(m/k)

2π is a constant

as m is in the numerator, increasing mass will increase the period.

GalinKa [24]
I think the events are already chronologically arranged correctly. It always have to start with the simplest elements, the hydrogen and helium. In fact, these are the elements that compose the stars. The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms to helium is what gives the stars and the sun their energy. So, this is followed by letter b, which is the formation of stars. Then, when these stars explode a stated in c, they produce even heavier elements. As a result, this big bang theory tells us that the universe is expanding because of this 'explosion'. In the end, it led to the formation of the sun, the planets and the universe. <em>Thus, the arrangement is: a, b, c and d.</em>

Two harmonic waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by y = 3 sin (2x) cos 5t wher
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of the interfering waves is 3.14 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The equation of standing wave that is formed by interfering two harmonic waves (travelling opposite direction) is given by :

y=3\ sin(2x)\ cos(5t)........(1)

The general equation of standing wave is given by :

y=2A\ sin(kx)\ cos(\omega t)..............(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2), we get :

k = 2

We know that,

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=k

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=2

\lambda=3.14\ m

So, the wavelength of the interfering wave is 3.14 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
