5 0

Answer:

4000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the man = 800N

Height of ladder = 5m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy gained = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is due to the position of a body.

Gravitational potential energy = weight x height

Now insert the parameters;

Gravitational potential energy = 800 x 5 = 4000J

A swinging pendulum has a total energy of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_i" id="TexFormula1" title="E_i" alt="E_i" align="a

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta}$ (for small oscillations)

Explanation:

The total energy of the pendulum is equal to:

$E_{1} = m\cdot g \cdot (1-\cos \theta)\cdot L$

For small oscillations, the equation can be re-arranged into the following form:

$E_{1} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-\theta) \cdot L$

Where:

$\theta = \frac{A}{L^{2}}$ , measured in radians.

If the amplitude of pendulum oscillations is increase by a factor of 4, the angle of oscillation is $4\theta$ and the total energy of the pendulum is:

$E_{2} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-4\theta)\cdot L$

The factor of change is:

$\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx \frac{1 - 4\theta}{1-\theta}$

$\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta}$

Answer: I am pretty sure that you should pick radio waves.

Explanation: The scientist should use radio waves. I think this because you can use the radio waves to analyze the signals from outer space. This will work much better than anything there, to analyze it the best possible.

The best I could do.
