Answer:

2.943 J

Explanation:

Data:

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

mass of sand  = 0.5 kg

distance  = 0.6

Thermal energy  = the energy possessed by the falling sand

The force of sand = ma

                              = 0.5 * 9.81\\= 4.905 N

However, the energy is given as the force multiplied by the distance, so

E =fd

   4.905 * 0.6\\= 2.943 J

Therefore, the thermal energy is 2.943 joules

Answer:

<em>The thermal energy added would be 2.94 J</em>

Explanation:

Part 1

The increase in thermal energy is equal to the new potential energy of the body. As the sand falls and stop at 0.6 m it gains thermal energy in form of the potential energy;

Given the mass = 5 kg

g acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^{2}

increase in U would be  

+U = mgh

       = 0.5 x 0.6 x 9.8

      = 2.94 J

Therefore 2.94 J is added to the thermal energy of the body.

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours

If a person climbed Mt. Everest has a mass of 105 kg and a weight of 625 N what would be the acceleration due to gravity?
DanielleElmas [232]

The acceleration due to gravity would be 5.95 m/s²

A force is known to be a push or pull and it is the change in momentum per time. It can be expressed by using the relation.

  • Force = mass × acceleration.

From the parameters given:

  • Mass = 105 kg
  • Force = 625 N

By replacing the given values into the above equation, we can determine the acceleration.

∴

625 N = 105 kg × acceleration.

\mathbf{acceleration = \dfrac{625 \ N}{105 \ kg}}

acceleration = 5.95 N/kg

  • Since 1 N/kg = 1 m/²

acceleration = 5.95 m/s²
