Answer:

Explanation:

Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.

U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.

Plug in known variables....

U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m

U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply here Doppler's effect in optics . The formula is as follows

$\frac{\triangle\lambda }{\lambda } = \frac{v}{c}$

Δλ is change in wavelength , λ is original wavelength , v is velocity and c is velocity of light

Δλ = 685 - 590 = 95 nm

λ = 685

95 / 685 = v / 3 x 10⁸

v = .416 x 10⁸ m / s

= 4.16 x 10⁷ m /s

A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\$

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\$ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

$Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\$

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\$

Substitute the given parameters

$Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a = 1.736m/s^2\\$

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²
