Suppose someone caused a book to fall from the shelf to the ground. Compared to the total sum of kinetic and potential energy th

e book has while on the shelf, about how much would it have when it is halfway from the shelf to the ground? no energy, half as much,twice as much, or the same amount? Pretty easy question.​

Answer:

book resting on a shelf has no potential energy relative to the shelf since it has a height of zero meters relative to the shelf. However, if the book is elevated to some height above the shelf, then it has potential energy proportional to the height at which it resides above the shelf.

An object can have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time. For example, an object which is falling, but has not yet reached the ground has kinetic energy because it is moving downwards, and potential energy because it is able to move downwards even further than it already has. The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy.

As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

Another important concept is work.

A 76 N crate is hung from a spring
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: 0.169 (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

Force = 76 N

Spring constant = 450 N/m

Extension/displacement = x

Hooke's law states that: F = kx

Therefore, 76 = 450 X x

76/450 = x

0.169 (3 s.f.) = x

What frequency (in Hz) is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 116 km/h and emitting a steady 950 Hz so
Arte-miy333 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler Effect, defined as the change in apparent frequency of a wave produced by the relative movement of the source with respect to its observer. Mathematically it can be written as

f_{obs} = f(\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

Here,

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w = Speed of the sound

v_s= Speed of source

Now the velocity we have that

v_s = 116km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 32.22m/s

Then replacing our values,

f_{obs} = (950Hz) (\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-32.22m/s})

f_{obs} = 1047.86Hz

Therefore the frequency of the observer is 1047.86Hz
