The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.
Option A.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.
As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.
This instrument is called a spring scale.
Answer:
iv) It is 9x bigger than before
Explanation:
As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:
At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A
The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:
I = P/A
where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)
For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.
If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.
So, the statement iv) is the right one.
Answer:
The thrown rock will strike the ground 
earlier than the dropped rock.
Explanation:
<u>Known Data</u>
, it is negative as is directed downward
<u>Time of the dropped Rock</u>
We can use 
, to find the total time of fall, so 
, then clearing for 
.
![t_{D}=\sqrt[2]{\frac{300m}{4.9m/s^{2}}} =\sqrt[2]{61.22s^{2}} =7.82s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7BD%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B2%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B300m%7D%7B4.9m%2Fs%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7D%20%3D%5Csqrt%5B2%5D%7B61.22s%5E%7B2%7D%7D%20%3D7.82s)
<u>Time of the Thrown Rock</u>
We can use , to find the total time of fall, so 
, then, 
, as it is a second-grade polynomial, we find that its positive root is 
Finally, we can find how much earlier does the thrown rock strike the ground, so
