Answer: it depends potential energy is the build up of kinetic energy like going to the top of a roller coaster. kintic is the use of the potential energy like going down the roller coaster so depends how much energy one another give :)

Hope this helps you out :)

Answer:

Explanation:

The question has no set meaning. Suppose you take a rock to the top of a building. You put the rock over the edge of the building. You don't drop it yet. The potential energy is greatest for the rock under this condition. The kinetic energy is 0 because the rock is not moving.

Now you let the rock go. As it falls, it looses distance to the ground which means that the Potential energy is nearing 0. The Kinetic energy is picking up because the rock is moving faster.

At the bottom of the rock's journey just before it hits the ground, the KE is at a maximum and the PE is nearly 0.

Answer:

When fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

When fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

When fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at (\frac{35}{2},0)

When fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

Explanation:

All of the parts of the problem are solved in the same way, so let's start with the first point (1,3).

Let's assume that the rocket's trajectory will be a straight line, so what we need to do here is to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane and then find the x-intercept of such a line.

In order to find the line tangent to the graph of the trajectory of the airplane, we need to start by finding the derivative of such a function:

y=2+\frac{1}{x}

y=2+x^{-1}

y'=-x^{-2}

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=1, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}

m=y'=-1

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-3=-1(x-1})

y-3=-1x+1

y=-x+1+3

y=-x+4

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-x+4=0

and solve for x

x=4

so, when fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2, 2.5)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(2)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{1}{4}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2})

y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+3

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{1}{4}x+3=0

and solve for x

x=12

so, when fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2.5, 2.4)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2.5, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(2.5)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{4}{25}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}(x-2.5})

y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}

y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}+2.4

y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}=0

and solve for x

x=\frac{35}{20}

so, when fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at (\frac{35}{2},0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (4, 2.25)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=4, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(4)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{1}{16}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}(x-4})

y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}

y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}+2.25

y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}=0

and solve for x

x=40

so, when fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

If the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.
horrorfan [7]
This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4

Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit. F=95(C)+32 On February 9, 1934,
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Buffalo, NY

Explanation:

Temperature in Buffalo, NY = -29°C

In order to compare the temperatures we need to convert them to the same scale.

F=\dfrac{9}{5}C+32\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{9}{5}\times -29+32\\\Rightarrow F=-20.2

So, the temperature in Buffalo, NY was -20.2°F and the temperature in Anchorage, AL was 19°F.

Hence, it was colder in Buffalo, NY than in Anchorage, AL.
