Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall

14.A 90 kg quarterback gets tackled by being hit by a 120 kg lineman backwards

quester [9]

The acceleration of the quarterback and the lineman is 5.55m/s² and 4.16m/s² respectively in the same direction.

As, we know, the 120 Kg lineman is moving with a force of 500N.

His net acceleration will be in the same direction as his motion.

It is already known that, If M is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration of the body, then the force F on the body can be calculated by using the formula,

F = Ma.

The weight of the quarterback is 90 Kg. He is being hit by a force of 500N.

So, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula,

500N = 90kg x a

a = 5.55 m/s².

Now, the weight if the lineman is 120kg, the force applied by him is 500N.

So, from the formula, his acceleration A will be,

500N = 120Kg x A

A = 4.16 m/s².

both of them will have acceleration in the same direction,

Is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Yanka [14]

Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.

Which of the following is an instantaneous speed?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A: All of the above

Explanation:

The instantaneous speed of an object is simply the current seed of the object at any given time. The SI unit is m/S and it is a vector quantity.

Therefore, according to the given options, they all have SI units that are consistent with distance and time which makes them all an example of instantaneous speed.

1.A student attaches a string to a puck on a frictionless air table, and pulls with a constant force on the puck. a. Draw the fo

Mrrafil [7]

for the puck :

F = force applied in the direction of pull

N = normal force on the puck in upward direction by the surface of table

W = weight of the puck in down direction due to force of gravity

along the vertical direction , normal force balance the weight of the puck , hence the net force is same as the force of pull F .

so F = ma where m = mass of puck , a = acceleration

Fnet = F

since the net force acts in the direction of force of pull F , hence the puck accelerates in the same direction .
