Answer: 294J

Explanation:

U_g=mg(y_f-y_i)

U_g=(15)(9.8)(2-0)=294J

Answer:

294.3 J

Explanation:

U = mgh

U = energy

m = mass

g = gravity

h = height

so

U = 15kg * 9.81 m/s^2 * 2m

294.3 J (joules) [kg *m^2/s^2]

 Why does a child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward? 15. What force is needed to acc
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Force, F = 77 N

Explanation:

A child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward. It is due to Newton's third law of motion. The forward pull on wagon is called action force and the backward force is called reaction force. These two forces are equal in magnitude but they acts in opposite direction.

We need to calculate the force is needed to accelerate a sled. It can be calculated using the formula as :

F = m × a

Where

m = mass = 55 kg

a = acceleration = 1.4 m/s²

F=55\ kg\times 1.4\ m/s^2

F = 77 N

So, the force needed to accelerate a sled is 77 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

a wave in the ocean has an amplitude of 3m. Winds pick up suddenly, increasing the wave's amplitude to 6m. How does this change
Paha777 [63]

Answer

Hi,

An increase in amplitude from 3m to 6 m increases the energy it transports. The frequency of the wave is not affected

Explanation

Amplitude is the height of a wave where as frequency is the number of waves that pass by each second. A wave with bigger amplitude has more energy than a wave with smaller amplitude. A point where more waves pass contains more energy that is transferred every second. The change in the amplitude of a wave does not change its frequency. However, frequency is inversely related to the wavelength of a wave.

Best Wishes!

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda

here we know that

\mu = 1.756

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

\lambda = 675 nm

now we have

2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}

t = 96.1 nm
