Let the ball is initially at point P1. Finally it reaches at point P2.( bottom most). Since only conservative force is acting on the ball throughout the motion, mechanical energy will be conserved. Therefore conserving energy from P1 to P2, Initially ball is at rest(P1). So initial kinetic energy is 0. Let ball is at height h1 initially, so initial potential energy = mgh ( m= mass of the ball). At bottom most point (P2), potential energy of ball changes into kinetic energy. So final kinetic energy =1/2 mv^2. Final potential energy = 0. Equating energies at P1 and P2, Mgh= 1/2 mv^2. Therefore, v= (2gh)^1/2. Since all the initial and final points are at same height, velocity will be same for all the paths(irrespective of the path taken by ball). So velocity will be same.

I need help in this small question:

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1) The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity is called nuclear energy.

2) It is not renewable because it is an element that has no way whatsoever to regenerate or replicate itself, nor gets created by any natural terrestrial means, neither makes itself available by arriving from outer space (like sunlight). There is a limited amount of it available on the Earth, and every bit you use is a bit you’ll never have available again (as Uranium atoms get destroyed by the fission process).

Hope this helps You

Un puente de acero de 100 m de largo a 8° C aumenta su temperatura a 24°C ¿Cuánto medirá su longitud? Valor del coeficiente de d

BartSMP [9]

La longitud final del puente de acero es 100.018 metros.

Asumamos que la dilatación térmica experimentada por el puente de acero es pequeña, de modo que podemos emplear la siguiente aproximación lineal para determinar la longitud final del puente de acero ( $L$ ), en metros:

$L = L_{o}\cdot [1+\alpha\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})]$ (1)

Donde:

$L_{o}$ - Longitud inicial del puente, en metros.
$\alpha$ - Coeficiente de dilatación, sin unidad.
$T_{o}$ - Temperatura inicial, en grados Celsius.
$T_{f}$ - Temperatura final, en grados Celsius.

Si tenemos que $L_{o} = 100\,m$ , $\alpha = 11.5\times 10^{-6}$ , $T_{o} = 8\,^{\circ}C$ y $T_{f} = 24\,^{\circ}C$ , entonces la longitud final del puente de acero es:

$L = (100\,m)\cdot [1+(11.5\times 10^{-6})\cdot (24\,^{\circ}C - 8\,^{\circ}C)]$

$L = 100.018\,m$

La longitud final del puente de acero es 100.018 metros.

Suppose you had the same laser and diffraction grating from the previous question but now you had a flat detection screen. You w

kolezko [41]

Answer:

measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen,

Explanation:

The expression for the diffraction phenomenon is

a sin θ = m λ

for the case of destructive interference. In general the detection screen is quite far from the grid, let's use trigonometry to find the angles

tan θ = y / L

in these experiments the angles are small

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

sunt θ = y / L

we substitute

a $\frac{y}{L}$ = m λ

y = m L λ / a

therefore, by carefully measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen, so you can know where the displacement occurs, it should be clarified that these displacements are very small so the measurement system must be capable To measure quantities on the order of hundredths of a millimeter, a micrometer screw could be used.

If a 10.0 kg object is on a surface that is inclined 30o and the coefficient of static friction is 0.65, what is the force of st

Alexxandr [17]

fraction equation is
F =µR
F=friction,µ=coefficient , R=reaction = mg

use same equation for b part, but the reaction is no longer mg because the plain is now inclined. Draw a forces diagram and you will see that the reaction force can be calculated from the weight of the object and inclination of the plain using trigonometry.

Calculate the volume of this regular solid.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

V = 42.41cm^3

Explanation:

In order to calculate the volume of the solid, you use the following formula:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

where

r: radius of the circular base of the cone = 3 cm

h: height from the circular base to the peak of the cone = 4.5 cm

You replace the values of r and h in the formula for the volume V:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi(3cm)^2(4.5)=42.411cm^3\approx42.41cm^3$

hence, the volume of the solid is 42.41 cm^3
