Potential energy is when the roller coaster rises. Kinetic energy is when the roller coaster declines.

Between which two points did they travel fastest?

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

During the section CD , the speed is fastest.

Explanation:

The rate of change of distance is called speed.

Speed = distance / time

Its SI unit ism/s. It is a scalar quantity.

The slope of the distance time graph is given by the speed of the object.

Here, the speed of AB is 30/3= 10 m/s .

The speed of BC is = 0 m/s

The speed of CD is (50 - 30)/(6 - 5) = 20 m/s

So, the speed is maximum during the section CD.

A submarine is 2.99 ✕ 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 ✕ 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a The diagram of the situation is shown on the first uploaded image

b the angle of incidence beam striking the water is $\theta = 49.63^o$

c the angle of refraction beam striking the water is $r = 59.7^o$

d The angle the refracted beam make with respect to the horizontal is $= 30.3^o$

e The height of the target above sea level is

$h= 125.05m$

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that the angle of the beam striking the water is

$tan \theta = \frac{100}{85}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{100}{85} )$

$= 49.63^o$

According to Snell's law

$\mu_{water} *sin(i) = \mu_{air} *sin(r)$

Where $\mu_{water }$ is the refractive index of water = 1.333

$i$ is the angle of incidence

$\mu_{air}$ is the refractive index of air = 1

r is the angle of refraction

Substituting values accordingly

$1.33 * sin (40.37) = 1 * sin(r)$

Making r the subject of the formula

$r = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.333 *sin(40.37)}{1})$

$= 59.7^o$

looking at the diagram we can see that to obtain the angle the refraction beam makes with the horizontal by subtracting the angle refraction from 90°

i.e $90 -59.7 = 30.3$ °

From the diagram we see that the height target above sea level can be obtained by this relation

$tan \theta = \frac{h}{214}\\$

Where h is the is the height

$tan(30.3) = \frac{h}{214}$

$h = 214 * tan (30.3)$

$=125.05m$

A 12.70 g bullet has a muzzle velocity (at the moment it leaves the end of a firearm) of 430 m/s when rifle with a weight of 25.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2.1844 m/s

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of momentum can be applied here.

when two objects interact, the total momentum remains the same provided no external forces are acting.

Consider the whole system , gun and bullet. as an isolated system, so the net momentum is constant. In particular before firing the gun, the net momentum is zero. The conservation of momentum,

$0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet} + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle} \\$

assume the bullet goes to right side and the gravitational acceleration =10 $ms^{-2}$

so now the weight of the rifle= $\frac{25}{10}$

$0=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet} + m_{rifle}*v_{rifle} \\\\0=(12.70*10^{-3}) *430ms^{-1} +(\frac{25}{10} )*v_{rifle} \\v_{rifle} =-2.1844ms^{-1}$

this is a negative velocity to the right side. that means the rifle recoils to the left side

You need to make a very dilute solution of sodium phosphate dihydrate (MW 142 g/mol, FW 178 g/mol). How many grams of sodium pho

dlinn [17]

Answer:

first question is 178 g of sodium phosphate dihydrate. second question is 0.25 mL

Explanation:

To know the number of grams from the number of moles $(0.5L*2mol/L)= 1mol$ . 1 mol is equal to 178 g. Second question mL of the stock is obtained from $(0.1L*5.0^-3mol/L)/2mol/L$ .

When the tympanic membrane vibrates with the same frequency as the incoming sound waves it is known asamplitude.pitch.hertz.reso

Sphinxa [80]

<h2>Answer: Resonance </h2>

Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a body capable of vibrating is subjected to the action of a periodic force, whose frequency of vibration approaches the characteristic frequency of vibration (called resonance frequence) of said body. This is due a relatively small force applied in a repeated form, causing the amplitude of the oscillating system to become very large.

In other words, for the specific case of sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when the frequency of the wave that is external to the system or body coincides with the resonance frequency (characteristic frequency that reaches the maximum degree of oscillation) of this system or body.

In these circumstances the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of movement after each successive actions of the force. However, this effect can be destructive in some rigid materials.
