False.

The mass of a softball is approximately 200 g (0.2 kg), while the knees are located approximately at 30 cm (0.3 m) from the ground. It means that the gravitational potential energy of the ball when it is dropped is
U=mgh=(0.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(0.3 m)=0.6 J

This corresponds to the total mechanical energy of the ball at the moment it is dropped, because there is no kinetic energy (the ball starts from rest). Then the ball is dropped, and just before it hits the ground, all this energy is converted into kinetic energy: but energy cannot be created, so its final kinetic energy cannot be greater than 0.6 J.

Doubling the frequency of a wave source doubles the speed of the wave assuing that wavelength remains the same? True or false? W
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:true,because velocity is directly proportional to speed or velocity

Explanation:

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

The velocity or speed varies directly with the frequency, so as the frequency is increased, the velocity or speed is also increased

Birdman is flying horizontally at a
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

X=92.49 m

Explanation:

Given that

u= 21 m/s

h= 97 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance h

h= 1/2 g t²

By putting the values

97 = 1/2 x 10 x  t²          ( g = 10 m/s²)

t= 4.4 s

The horizontal distance

X= u .t

X= 21 x 4.4

X=92.49 m

A very humble bumble bee is flying horizontally due North at a constant speed of 3.11 m/s. At the current location of the bumble
Reil [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of the Magnetic Force. This expression will be expressed in both the vector and the scalar ways. Through this second we can directly use the presented values and replace them to obtain the value of the magnitude. Mathematically this can be described as,

\vec{F_B} = q(\vec{V}\times \vec{B})

F_B = q|v||B| sin\theta

Here,

q = Charge

v = Velocity

B = Magnetic field

\theta = \text{Angle between } \vec{B} \text{ and } \vec{V}

Our values are given as,

\theta = 35.7\°

q = 22.5*10^{-9}C

B = 1.05*10^{-5}T

v = 3.11m/s

Replacing,

F_B = (22.5*10^{-9}C)(3.11 \times 1.05*10^{-5}) sin(35.1\°)

F_B = 4.224*10^{-13}N

Therefore the size of the magnetic force acting on the bumble bee is 4.22*10^{-13}N
