Answer:

The 10 kg mass would have to be at a height 3 times that of the 30 kg mass to have the same gravitational potential energy as the 30 kg mass.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, U = mgh where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = height of object above the ground.

Now, let U' = gravitational potential energy of 10 kg mass = m'gh' where m' = 10 kg and h' = height of 10 kg mass above the ground.

So, U' = 10gh'

Also, let U" = gravitational potential energy of 30 kg mass = m"gh" where m" = 30 kg and h" = height of 30 kg mass above the ground.

So, U" = 30gh"

Since both object are supposed to have the same potential energy at a given height of the 10 kg mass,

U' = U"

10gh' = 30gh"

h' = 30gh"/10g

h' = 3h"

<u>So, the 10 kg mass would have to be at a height 3 times that of the 30 kg mass to have the same gravitational potential energy as the 30 kg mass.</u>

A wave transfers:<br> Water<br> particles<br> energy<br> matter
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Particles in a water wave exchange kinetic energy for potential energy. When particles in water become part of a wave, they start to move up or down. This means that kinetic energy (energy of movement) has been transferred to them

A new band sensation is playing a concert and recording it for a live album to be released this summer. The band asks the sound
Amanda [17]

The sound mixer will need to increase the amplitude of the sound wave produced by the singer which will increase the loudness of the sound.

<h3>Amplitude of sound wave</h3>

The amplitude of a sound wave is the maximum vertical displacement of the sound wave.

The sound mixer will need to increase the amplitude of the sound wave produced by the singer.

The increase in the amplitude of the sound wave produced by the lower tune singer will result in increased loudness of the sound.

Thus, the sound mixer will need to increase the amplitude of the sound wave produced by the singer which will increase the loudness of the sound.

What is a conversion factor?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A ratio of equivalent units

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a ratio of equivalent units and depends on which units are to be converted.

For example we want to convert 275 [mm] to inches, so we have to find the right conversion factor to allow us to work that conversion.

275 [mm] = inches = ?

275 [mm] * \frac{1in}{25.4mm} = 10.82 [in]

In this case the ratio is 1/25.4 = 0.039 [in/mm]
