James and Juan were at the highest point in the football stadium, dropping water balloons on people below. Many of the balloons

did not break, so the boys added more water to the balloons. What impact did adding water have on the balloons' potential energy?

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

To push a 26.0 kg crate up a frictionless incline, angled at 25.0° to the horizontal, a worker exerts a force of 209 N parallel

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

(a) W = +397.1 J

(b) W = -204.6 J

(c) W = 0

(d) W= + 192.5 J

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the product of force (F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force. :

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The forces that perform work on an object must be parallel to its displacement.

The forces perpendicular to the displacement of an object do not perform work on it.

The work is positive (W+) if the force has the same direction of movement of the object.

The work is negative (W-) if the force has the opposite direction of the movement of the object.

Problem development

(a) Work performed by the worker's applied force on the box .

W= 209 N * 1.9 m = +397.1 J

(b) Work performed by the gravitational force on the crate

We calculate the weight component parallel to the displacement of the box:

We define the x-axis in the direction of the inclined plane ,25.0° to the horizontal.

We define the y-axis and in the direction of the plane perpendicular to the inclined plane.

W= m*g=26*9.8= 254.8N : total box weight

Wx= W*sen25.0°= 254.8*sen25.0°= 107.68 N

W = -Wx *d =107.68 N *1.9 m= -204.6 J

(c) Work performed by normal force (N) exerted by the incline on the crate

The force N is perpendicular to the displacement, then:

W=0

(d) Total work done on the crate

W = 397.1 J -204.6 J

W = 192.5 J

Explain why it takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron fr

slava [35]

It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>

The form of energy given off by the vibrating strings of the violin is? A. Electrical Energy B. Potential Energy C. Radiant Ener

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

D . Sound energy

Explanation:

When the strings of a violin vibrate it produces sound which is sound energy. Due to the vibration of the strings the air present near the strings also vibrate in resonance with the strings. This compreesion and decompression's produced in the air is nothing but the sound. So the form of energy given off by the vibrating strings of the violin is Sound energy.

3. Maverick and Goose are flying a training mission in their F-14. They are

Elanso [62]

Answer:

A. The bomb will take <em>17.5 seconds </em>to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land <em>12040 meters </em>on the ground ahead from where they released it

Explanation:

Maverick and Goose are flying at an initial height of $y_0=1500m$ , and their speed is v=688 m/s

When they release the bomb, it will initially have the same height and speed as the plane. Then it will describe a free fall horizontal movement

The equation for the height y with respect to ground in a horizontal movement (no friction) is

$y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}$ [1]

With g equal to the acceleration of gravity of our planet and t the time measured with respect to the moment the bomb was released

The height will be zero when the bomb lands on ground, so if we set y=0 we can find the flight time

The range (horizontal displacement) of the bomb x is

$x = v.t$ [2]

Since the bomb won't have any friction, its horizontal component of the speed won't change. We need to find t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2]:

Setting y=0 and isolating t we get

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}$

Since we have $y_0=1500m$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1500)}{9.8}}$

$t=17.5 sec$

Replacing in [2]

$x = 688\ m/sec \ (17.5sec)$

$x = 12040\ m$

A. The bomb will take 17.5 seconds to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land 12040 meters on the ground ahead from where they released it
