Answer:

the potential energy is 114 J.

Explanation:

Given;

total mechanical energy, E = 400 J

kinetic energy, K.E = 286 J

The potential energy is calculated as follows;

E = K.E +  P.E

where;

P.E is the potential energy

P.E = E - K.E

P.E = 400 J - 286 J

P.E = 114 J

Therefore, the potential energy is 114 J.

How can Newton's laws be applied to protect a smartphone screen during a collision?
Sonja [21]

smartphones break due to forces acting on the material.

force causes material to deform.

material is often brittle and cracks due to a limit on hardness / electricity in screens.

newton's 2nd law states

force = DV / DT

to help phones we must slow down change in momentum to reduce the force

thus we must use some form of damping in the form of a case .

the case is typically able to deform and rubber is elastic converting the kinetic energy to heat as it deforms instead of transferring it through the screen.

therefore the change in velocity occurs over a longer time. therefore the impulse decreases

Categorize each ray tracing statement as relating to ray 1, ray 2, or ray 3.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

statement 1 with answer C

statement 2 with answer F

statement 3 with answer B

Statement 1 with E

Statement 2 with A

Statement 3 with D

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to relate each with the answers

In general, in the optics diagram,

* Ray 1 is a horizontal ray that after stopping by the optical system goes to the focal point

* Ray 2 is a ray that passes through the intercept point between the optical axis and the system and does not deviate

* Ray 3 is a ray that passes through the focal length and after passing the optical system, it comes out horizontally.

With these statements, let's review the answers

statement 1 with answer C

statement 2 with answer F

statement 3 with answer B

Statement 1 with E

Statement 2 with A

Statement 3 with D
