Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position. The energy that a ball has when perched at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy.

What vertical distance Δy does a free-falling particle travel from the moment it starts to the moment it reaches a speed of 7.9
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

3.2 m

Explanation:

The equation to use to solve this problem is:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2 a \Delta y

where

v_f is the final velocity

v_i is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

\Delta y is the distance covered

For the particle in free-fall in this problem, we have

v_i = 0 (it starts from rest)

v_f = 7.9 m/s

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

By re-arranging the equation, we can find the distance travelled:

\Delta y = \frac{v_f^2 -v_i^2}{2a}=\frac{(7.9 m/s)^2-0^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=3.2 m

An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a pipe that has a change in diameter. The fluid speed at a location where the pip
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The value is v_2 =  5.53 \  m /s

Explanation:

From the question we are told

  The pipe diameter at location 1 is  d  = 8.8 \  cm =  \frac{8.8 }{10} = 0.88 \ m

   The velocity at location 1 is  v_1 =  2.4 \  m /s

   The diameter at location 2 is  d_2 =  5.80 \  cm  =  0.58 \  m

Generally the area at location 1 is  

       A_1 =  \pi *  \frac{d^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 =  \pi *  \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 = 3.142 *  \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}

=>     A_1 = 1.2166 \  m^2

Generally the area at location 1 is  

       A_2 =  \pi *  \frac{d_1^2}{ 2}

=>     A_2 =  \pi *  \frac{0.58^2}{ 2}

=>     A_2 = 0.528  \  m^2

Generally from continuity equation we have that

     A_1 * v_1 =  A_2 * v_2

=>   1.2166 *   2.4   =  0.528   * v_2

=>   1.2166 *   2.4   =  0.528   * v_2

=>    v_2 =  5.53 \  m /s

Which statement is true for a sound wave entering an area of warmer air?
kherson [118]
The appropriate response is letter D. The wave ventures slower and with an expanded wavelength when a sound wave entering a range of hotter air. Hotter air implies less thick, so the wave ought to back off.

I hope the answer will help you, feel free to ask more in brainly.
