You throw a ball into a box and close the lid. You hear the ball bouncing around inside as the ball’s energy changes from gravit

ational potential energy to kinetic energy, to elastic potential energy, and so on. If you wait a minute or two, what will have happened to the ball’s energy?

Answer:

Thermal energy.

Explanation:

We know that energy is conserved and it only transform one form to another form ,Like potential energy transform in to kinetic energy when a ball fall down from a height and obtain some velocity.

In this case energy changes from gravitational energy to kinetic energy then elastic energy and after some time this energy will convert in to thermal energy.

So the answer is thermal energy.

KatRina [158]

Hi there!

The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.

Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.

Hope this helps !

To solve this problem we need to apply the corresponding sound intensity measured from the logarithmic scale. Since in the range of intensities that the human ear can detect without pain there are large differences in the number of figures used on a linear scale, it is usual to use a logarithmic scale. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel yes described as

$\beta_{dB} = 10log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}$

Where,

I = Acoustic intensity in linear scale

$I_0$ = Hearing threshold

The value in decibels is 17dB, then

$17dB = 10log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}$

Using properties of logarithms we have,

$\frac{17}{10} = log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}$

$log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0} = 1.7$

$\frac{I}{I_0} = 10^{1.7}$

$\frac{I}{I_0} = 50.12 W/m^2$

Therefore the factor that the intensity of the sound was $50.12W/m^2$

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

$m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}$ (1)

Where:

$m=5.7$ is the slope of the line

$Y_{1}=2390.7pounds$ is the airplane weight with 51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

$X_{1}=51gallons$ is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)

This means we already have one point of the graph, which coordinate is:

$(X_{1},Y_{1})=(51,2390.7)$

Rewritting (1):

$Y=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}$ (2)

As Y is a function of X:

$Y=f_{(X)}=m(X-X_{1})+Y_{1}$ (3)

Substituting the known values:

$f_{(X)}=5.7(X-51)+2390.7$ (4)

$f_{(X)}=5.7X-290.7+2390.7$ (5)

$f_{(X)}=5.7X+2100$ (6)

Now, evaluating this function when X=81 (talking about the 81 gallons of fuel in the tank):

$f_{(81)}=5.7(81)+2100$ (7)

$f_{(81)}=2561.7$ (8) This means the weight of the plane when it has 81 gallons of fuel in its tank is 2561.7 pounds.

Earth's magnetic field is approximately 1/2 gauss, that is 50 micro-tesla because the SI field unit of a tesla is 10,000 gauss.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

F = 0

Explanation:

The magnetic force is described by two expressions

for a moving charge

F = q v x B

for a wire with a current

F = I L xB

bold indicates vectors

let's write this equation in module form

F = I L B sin θ

where the angle is between the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field

In this case they indicate that the cable goes from the South wall to the North wall, so this is the direction of the current

The magnetic field of the Earth goes from the south to the north and in this part it is horizontal

Therefore the current and the magnetic field are parallel, the angle between them is zero

sin 0 = 0

consequently the magnetic force is zero

F = 0
