Answer:

968 J

Explanation:

The computation of the kinetic energy is shown below:

Given that

mass m = 2 kg

height h = 20 m

velocity v = 24 m / s

Now

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

= K.E at top + P.E at top

= ( 1 ÷ 2) mv ^ 2 + mgh

= 576 + 392

= 968 J

Describe the responses of the human ear to sound waves coming from the
maria [59]

If the sound comes from the right side, the waves reach the right ear before the left ear. if the sound comes from the left side, the waves reach the left ear before the right ear. The difference between the phases of waves reaching both ears is detected by the ears and then interpreted by the brain

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it
marusya05 [52]
First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
v=\lambda f
where
v is the wave speed
\lambda its wavelength
f its frequency
Using \lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m and f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz, we get
v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m

Which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest frequency? (2 points) Infrared waves Microwaves Ultra
Irina18 [472]

In order from shortest to longest frequency, the electromagnetic waves can be ranked :

1. X-rays

2. Ultraviolet

3. Infrared

4. Microwave

X-rays has the shortest frequency which ranges between 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz. X-rays have the smallest wavelengths at 0.01-10 nanometers. Its energy ranges between 100eV to 100keV.

An 4-kg ball experiences a force and accelerates at a rate of 1.5 m/s.
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

6.0 N

Explanation:

The strength of a force is expressed as the magnitude of the force in Newton.

The formula to apply here is :

Force= mass * acceleration

F=ma

Mass, m = 4 kg

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Force= 4 *1.5 = 6.0 N
