Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

A bat can detect small objects, such as an insect, whose size is approximately equal to one wavelength of the sound the bat make

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

6.136 mm

Explanation:

given,

frequency emitted by the bat = 5.59 x 10⁴ Hz

speed of sound = 343 m/s

smallest insect bat can hear will be equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat make.

$\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda = \dfrac{343}{5.59\times 10^4}$

$\lambda = 6.136\times 10^{-3}}$

λ = 6.136 mm

so, the smallest size of insect that bat can hear is equal to 6.136 mm

A quantitative description of kinematics involves using ___ th describe the motion

Semmy [17]

Answer:

numbers

Explanation:

Virtually all unimaginable processes can be described as the movement of certain objects. To analyze and predict the nature of the movements that result from the different kinds of interactions, some important concepts such as momentum, force and energy have been invented. If momentum, force, and energy are known and expressed in a quantitative way (that is, by numbers) it is possible to establish rules by which the resulting movements can be predicted.

givi [52]

Answer:

The required force is 55.38 N.

Explanation:

First we have to find the spring constant K;

k = $\frac{mg}{d}$ = $\frac{36}{0.065}$ = 553.846 N/m
