Answer:

Potential energy =mass* acceleration due to gravity * height

mass*acceleration due to gravity =weight

hence potential energy of the puppy= weight * height

=18*2

=36 joule

1. An 800-gram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. If its momentum is 16 kg•m/sec, how fast is it traveling?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The ball is rolling at a speed of 0.02 meter per second.

Step by step explanation:

We are given that there is a 800 gram bowling ball rolling in a straight line. If its momentum is given to be 16 kg.m/sec, we are to find its velocity.

For this, we will use the formula of momentum.

Momentum = mass × velocity

16 = 800 × velocity

Velocity = 16/800 = 0.02 meter per second

You are watching a wave with a frequency of 512 Hz go past. How many peaks of the wave go past you each minute?

inna [77]

Answer:

61440 peaks

Explanation:

A hertz represents one cycle for every second:

$f= Hz=\frac{1}{s}$

So if a wave have frequency of 2Hz for example, this means the wave does two cycles per second.

Normally the waves are represented by cosine or sine waves. These kind of waves have two peaks in each cycle, one positive and one negative. With this in mind, let's calculate how many peaks of the wave pass each minute.

A minute has 60 seconds, hence:

$60*512=30720\hspace{3}cycles\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute$

And we know already that every cycle has two peaks, so:

$30720*2=61440\hspace{3}peaks\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute$

A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 where both numbers are gauge pressures measured in millimeters of mercury (m

KIM [24]

The pressure value is given by the equation,

$P= \rho gh$

Where,

$\rho$ represents the density of the liquid

g= gravity

h= Heigth

A) For the measurement of the guage pressure we have the data data,

$\rho_{mercury} = 13.6*10^3kg/m^3$

$h=0.0930m$

$g=9.8m/s^2$

Replacing we get,

$P_g=\rho_{mercury}gh$

$[tex]P_g = (13.6*10^3)(9.8)(0.0930)$ P_g = 12395Pa[/tex]

In order to find the Absolute pressure, we perform a sum between the atmospheric pressure and that of the Gauge,

B) The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101325Pa, assuming ideal conditions, we will take this pressure for our calculation, so

$P_T = P_a+P_g\\P_T = 101325Pa+12395Pa\\P_T = 113720Pa\\P_T = 113.7kPa$

The 2779-m Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan, is one of the world's longest underwater vehicular tunnel

Marina CMI [18]

For a cylinder that has both ends open resonant frequency is given by the following formula:
$f= \frac{nv}{2L}$
Where n is the resonance node, v is the speed of sound in air and L is the length of a cylinder.
The fundamental frequency is simply the lowest resonant frequency.
We find it by plugging in n=1:
$f_0= \frac{v}{2L}=\frac{343}{2\cdot 2779}=0.062 Hz$
To find what harmonic has to be excited so that it resonates at f>20Hz we simply plug in f=20 Hz and find our n:
$20= \frac{n343}{2\cdot 2779} =n\cdot f_0$
We can see that any resonant frequency is simply a multiple of a base frequency.
Let us find which harmonic resonates with the frequency 20 Hz:
$20=n\cdot f_0\\ n=\frac{20}{0.062}=322.58$
Since n has to be an integer, final answer would be 323.
