Answer:

B.because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy

Explanation:

You can calculate the speed as it hits the ground because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy.

In this way, total energy can be conserved.

  • We can equate the kinetic energy and potential energy.
  • From this we can solve for the velocity.
  • This way, we know that the potential energy is changing to kinetic energy.

As you tune your radio to a higher frequency, from 88.5 FM to 103.3 FM, the wavelength of the wave that you are tuning in
olga_2 [115]

the relation that relates the speed of wave, frequency of wave and wavelength is given as

wavelength = \frac{speed}{frequency}

the speed of wave in a medium remains constant. hence the wavelength is inversely related to the frequency of wave.

that means, as the frequency is increased, the wavelength decreases and vice versa.

hence the correct choice is

B decreases

A boy throws a snowball straight up in the air with an initial speed of 4.50 ft/s from a position 4.00 ft above the ground. The
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 0.658 seconds

b) 0.96 inches

Explanation:

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.5-32.1\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.5}{-32.1}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.14 \s

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.5\times 0.14+\frac{1}{2}\times -32.1\times 0.14^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.315\ ft

The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft

Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4.315=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 32.1\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4.315\times 2}{32.1}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.518\ s

The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+32.1\times 0.518\\\Rightarrow v=16.62\ ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-16.62^2}{2\times -100\times 3.28}\\\Rightarrow s=0.42\ ft

The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches

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

The magnetic field in a cyclotron is 1.25 T, and the maximum orbital radius of the circulating protons is 0.40 m. (a) What is th
Darya [45]

Answer:

1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

Explanation:

The magnetic force from the magnetic field gives the circulating protons gives the particle the necessary centripetal acceleration to keep it orbiting round the circular path. And from Newton's second law of motion, the force(F) is equal to the product of the mass(m) of the proton and the centripetal acceleration(a). i.e

F = ma

Where;

a = \frac{v^2}{r}             [v = linear velocity, r = radius of circular path]

=> F = m\frac{v^2}{r}           ------------(i)

We also know that the magnitude of this magnetic force experienced by the moving charge (proton) in a magnetic field is given by;

F = q v B sin θ       ----------(ii)

Where;

q = charge of the particle

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnetic field

θ = the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.

Combining equations (i) and (ii) gives

m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin θ           [θ = 90° since the proton is orbiting at the maximum orbital radius]

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B sin 90°

=> m\frac{v^2}{r} = q v B

Divide both side by v;

=> m\frac{v}{r} = qB

Make v subject of the formula

v = \frac{qBr}{m}

From the question;

B = 1.25T

m = mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

r = 0.40m

q = charge of a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation(iii) as follows;

v = \frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(1.25)(0.4)}{(1.67*10^{-27})}

v = 4.79 x 10⁷m/s

Now, the kinetic energy, K, is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}mv²

m = mass of proton

v = velocity of the proton as calculated above

K = \frac{1}{2}(1.67*10^{-27} * (4.79 * 10^7)^2 )

K = 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J

The kinetic energy is 1.92 x 10⁻¹²J
