Answer:

a. at either A or B

Explanation:

Kinetic energy may be defined as the energy of the system or an object which is due to its velocity of the object it possess.

In the context, an object having mass  is attached to spring which is vertical and the object moves up and down due to spring effect between points A and B. Now these points A and B are the extreme points after which the object bounces back.

At point A and B, the velocity of the object becomes zero and hence the kinetic energy of a body varies directly proportional to its velocity.

                  i.e. Kinetic energy $= \frac{1}{2} \text{mass} \times (\text{ velocity})^2$

A gun shoots a bullet with a velocity of 500 m/s. The gun is aimed horizontally and fired from a height of 1.5 m. How far does t
MrMuchimi

The bullet travels a horizontal distance of 276.5 m

The bullet is shot forward with a horizontal velocity u_x. It takes a time <em>t</em> to fall a vertical distance <em>y</em> and at the same time travels a horizontal distance <em>x. </em>

The bullet's horizontal velocity remains constant since no force acts on the bullet in the horizontal direction.

The initial velocity of the bullet has no component in the vertical direction. As it falls through the vertical distance, it is accelerated due to the force of gravity.

Calculate the time taken for the bullet to fall through a vertical distance <em>y </em>using the equation,

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Substitute 0 m/s for u_y, 9.81 m/s²for <em>g</em> and 1.5 m for <em>y</em>.

y=u_yt+\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\ 1.5 m=(0m/s)t+\frac{1}{2} (9.81m/s^2)t^2\\ t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.5m)}{9.81m/s^2} } =0.5530s

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is given by,

x=u_xt

Substitute 500 m/s for u_x and 0.5530s for t.

x=u_xt\\ =(500m/s)(0.5530s)\\ =276.5m

The bullet travels a distance of 276.5 m.

If, while standing on the bank of a stream, you wished to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of you, would you aim
Serggg [28]

Answer:

<em>a) below the observed position</em>

<em>b) directly at the observed position</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If I'm standing on the bank of a stream, and I wish to spear a fish swimming in the water out in front of me, I would aim below the observed fish to make a direct hit. This is because the phenomenon of refraction of light in water causes the light coming from the fish is refract away from the normal as it passes  into the air and into my eyes.

If I'm to zap the fish with a taser, I would aim directly at the observed fish because the laser (a form of concentrated light waves) will refract into the water, taking the same path the light from the fish took to get to my eyes.

A cell phone uses a 3. 0 V battery. The circuit board it uses needs a 0. 05 A current. What size resistor is needed to generate
Marta_Voda [28]

The value of resistance will be 60 ohms. Resistance is the opposition force offered to the flow of electric current. The ratio of the voltage to the electric current passing through the wire.

<h3>What is a resistor?</h3>

A resistor is a two-terminal passive electrical component that acts as a circuit element by implementing electrical resistance.

Resistors are used to limit current flow, alter signal levels, divide voltages, bias active devices, and complete transmission lines in electronic circuits.

The given data in the problem is;

V is the voltage =  3. 0 V

I is value of electric current=  0. 05 A

R is the resistance=?

According to ohm's law, the potential difference between the two ends of the conductor is equal to the product of electric current and the resistance generated.

So from the ohm law;

V= IR

\rm R = \frac{V}{I} \\\\ \rm R = \frac{3}{0.05} \\\\ \rm R =60 \ ohm

Hence the value of resistance will be 60 ohms.

The waves that heat a cup of water in the microwave are an example of electromagnetic waves. True or False
Oksana_A [137]

That's true.

They're radio waves, at the frequency of 2.45 GHz (in all microwave appliances manufactured in the US).
