A 12 g plastic ball is dropped from a height of 2.5 m and is moving at 3.2 m/s just before it hits the floor. How much mechanica
Nataly [62]

Answer:

0.24

Explanation:

Mass of ball= 12g=0.012Kg

height of ball= 2.5m

velocity of ball before falling= 3.2m/s

potential energy of the ball=mgh= 0.012*10*2.5=0.3J

kinetic energy of the ball=0.5*mv^{2}=0.5*0.012*3.2*3.2=0.6J

Loss in mechanical energy during the fall= potential energy- Kinetic energy= 0.3-0.06=0.24J

note: During the fall, the potential energy of the ball is converted to kinetic energy. the loss in energy is due to air resistance.

What is the centripetal force that holds planets in orbit?
Fudgin [204]
<h2>Answer: Gravity force</h2>

If we approximate the orbit of the planets around the Sun to circular orbits with a uniform circular motion, where the velocity \vec{V} is a vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius r of the trajectory; the acceleration \vec{a} is directed towards the center of the circumference (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).  

Now, according to Newton's 2nd law, the force \vec{F} is directly proportional and in the same direction as the acceleration:  

\vec{F}=m.\vec{a}  

Therefore the net force resulting from the movement of a planet orbiting the Sun points towards the center of the circle, this is called Centripetal Force which is a central force that in this case is equal to the gravity force.

A tuning fork with a frequency of 335 Hz and a tuning fork of unknown frequency produce beats with a frequency of 5.3 when struc
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

Unknown fork frequency is either

335 + 5.3 = 340.3 Hz

or

335 - 5.3 = 329.7 Hz

After we modify the known fork, the unknown fork frequency equation becomes either

(335 - x) + 8 = 340.3

(335 - x)  = 332.3

x = 2.7 Hz

or

(335 - x) + 8 = 329.7

(335 - x) = 321.7

x = 13.3 Hz

IF the unknown fork frequency was 340.3 Hz,

THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 2.7 = 332.3 Hz

IF the unknown fork frequency was 329.7 Hz,

THEN the 335 Hz fork was detuned to 335 - 13.3 = 321.7 Hz

Light passes through a pair of narrow slits with a 0.67-mm separation. It is found that the fourth bright fringe makes an angle
babunello [35]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 555 nm.

Explanation:

according to Bragg's law..

n×λ = d×sin(θ)

n is the fringe number

λ is the wavelength of the light

d is the slit separation

θ is the angle the light makes with the normal at the fringe.

Many processes help to shape Earth’s surface. Starting with a rock, in what order would you expect the following Earth processes
GuDViN [60]
<span>Like most Earth materials, rocks are created and destroyed in cycles. The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. </span><span>All rocks are made up of minerals. A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring, crystalline solid of definite chemical composition and a characteristic crystal structure. A rock is any naturally formed, nonliving, firm, and coherent aggregate mass of solid matter that constitutes part of a planet. i don't know if this is right but i hope it helps</span>
