Answer:

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another

Kinetic Energy + Energy due to air resistance = Potential energy..........(1)

If there is no energy loss due to air resistance, potential energy = kinetic energy

mass, m = 1.5 kg

height, h = 4.0 m

speed, v = 6 m/s

Kinetic energy = 0.5 mv²

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * 1.5 * 6²

Kinetic energy = 27 Joules

Potential Energy = mgh

Potential energy = 1.5 * 9.8 * 4

Potential energy = 58.8 Joules

From equation (1)

27 + Energy due to air resistance = 58.8

Energy due to air resistance = 58.8 - 27

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Answer:

Explanation:

Note:

Air resistance in the way means not all of the potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy.

Given:

Mass = 1.5 kg

D = 4 m

Vf = 6 m/s

Energy + KE = PE

= (M × g × d) - (1/2 × M × V^2)

= (1.5 × 9.8 × 4) - (1/2 × 1.5 × 6^2)

= 58.8 - 27

= 31.8 J

Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other  .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection  in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.

ycow [4]

The tension in the string with friction would be the biggest because of the involvement of the force of gravity. This would result in that the friction force that is acting on the system. There is no friction in the frictionless system, and only the force of gravity is relevant.
