The correct answer is: Mechanical Energy

Explanation:
As the guitar strings are plunked, the potential energy stored in the strings has an ability to make them vibrate. When the strings are vibrating, that potential energy is actually converted to the kinetic energy. Hence, the whole phenomena contains both the kinetic energy and the potential energy. The sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy is called Mechanical energy. Therefore, the correct answer is Mechanical Energy.

1. The magnitude of the magnetic field doubles

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

$I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

where $\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability, I is the current in the wire, r is the distance from the wire.

As we see from the formula, the intensity of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current: if the current increases from 5 A to 10 A, it means it doubles, so the magnetic field doubles as well.

2. The magnitude of the magnetic field halves

Explanation: the intensity of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by:

$I=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

We see that the magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire (r). In this case, the distance of the particle is changed from 10 cm to 20 cm, so it is doubled: therefore, the magnitude of the field will become half of the initial value.

3. The force reverses direction

Explanation: the force exerted on a charged particle in a magnetic field is:

$F=qvB sin \theta$

where q is the charge, v is the speed of the particle, B is the magnetic field intensity and $\theta$ the angle between the direction of v and B. If the charge of the particle is switched from 2 µC to –2µC, the magnitude of the force does not change (because the absolute value of q does not change), however the charge q gets a negative sign (-), so the sign of the force changes and gets a negative sign too, so the force reverses direction.

The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the

Elanso [62]

The amount of dissolved oxygen in water may decrease because of the increase in organic matter in the water. Aquatic organisms breathe and use oxygen. Large amounts of oxygen are consumed by the decomposition of bacteria (when there are large amounts of dead matter to decompose, there will be a significant number of bacteria). Examples: dead organic matter (algae), wastewater, garden waste, oils and fats, all this results in a decrease in dissolved oxygen in the water.

Jose is loading his luggage into his car so that he can go to visit his grandmother. He lifts his suitcase up a 10 m staircase i

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase, F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

W = F x S

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

W = 60 N x 10 m

= 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

A drunken sailor stumbles 580 meters north, 530 meters northeast, then 480 meters northwest. What is the total displacement and

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(a) 1294.66 m

(b) 88.44°

Explanation:

d1 = 580 m North

d2 = 530 m North east

d3 = 480 m North west

(a) Write the displacements in vector forms

$\overrightarrow{d_{1}}=580\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{d_{2}}=530\left ( Cos45\widehat{i}+Sin45\widehat{j} \right )$

$\overrightarrow{d_{2}}=374.77\widehat{i}+374.77\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{d_{3}}=480\left ( - Cos45\widehat{i}+Sin45\widehat{j} \right )$

$\overrightarrow{d_{3}}=-339.41\widehat{i}+339.41widehat{j}$

The resultant displacement is given by

$\overrightarrow{d}\overrightarrow{d_{1}}+\overrightarrow{d_{2}}+\overrightarrow{d_{3}}$

$\overrightarrow{d}=\left ( 374.77-339.41 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 580+374.77+339.41 \right )\widehat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{d}=35.36\widehat{i}+1294.18\widehat{j}$

magnitude of the displacement

$d ={\sqrt{35.36^{2}+1294.18^{2}}}=1294.66 m$

d = 1294.66 m

(b) Let θ be the angle from + X axis direction in counter clockwise

$tan\theta =\frac{1294.18}{35.36}=36.6$

θ = 88.44°

Compare and contrast fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs.

dezoksy [38]

Incandescent light is a glowing white light produced by heat. An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs
