A sled starts at rest with 51,450 J of potential energy. After traveling part of the way down the slope, the sled has 32,781 J o

f potential energy. If there is no friction, what is the kinetic energy of the sled?

Because of conservation of energy, ep is equal to ek.
at that point ep=ek
the kinetic energy would be 32,781J

What is a volt as applied in physics

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Volt in physics is a term that is used to describe the unit of both electrical potential difference and electromotive force. In other words, it is a unit of measuring the voltage between two points. It is represented as "V".

The formula for Voltage is V=IR

Where V= Voltage, I = Current and R = Resistance.

a person hears an echo from the top of a tower , 2.2 second after the sound is produced.how far away is the tower from the perso

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

730.4 m

Explanation:

The sound waves travels with a uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can calculate the distance it travels using the formula:

$d=vt$

where

d is the distance

v is the speed of the sound wave

t is the time taken

In this problem we have:

v = 332 m/s is the speed of sound in air

t = 2.2 s is the time elapsed

Therefore, the distance between the tower and the person is

$d=(332)(2.2)=730.4 m$

Define 1 unit electricity

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A unit is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWh) of electricity.

Infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on Earth

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$\lambda=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 4.39 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 4.39 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

We know that,

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.39\times 10^{12}}\\\\=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the infrared radiation is $6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m$ .
