Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained from movement while potential energy is the energy in something when it is at a height or has been manipulated in some way; it has work done to it.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is, like I said, energy gained through movement or action. When an object stops moving, it converts into a different type of energy. Energy cannot be destroyed or created. An object with potential energy has a reference. A reference determines how high it is. The higher and heavier an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Hope this helps!

Suppose you observed the equation for a traveling wave to be y(x, t) = A cos(kx − ????t), where its amplitude of oscillations wa

OLga [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for a traveling wave as expressed as y(x, t) = A cos(kx − $\omega$ t) where An is the amplitude f oscillation, $\omega$ is the angular velocity and x is the horizontal displacement and y is the vertical displacement.

From the formula; $k =\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} \ and \ \omega = 2 \pi f$ where;

$\lambda \ is\ the \ wavelength \ and\ f \ is\ the\ frequency$

Before we can get the transverse speed, we need to get the frequency and the wavelength.

frequency = 1/period

Given period = 2/15 s

Frequency = $\frac{1}{(2/15)}$

frequency = 1 * 15/2

frequency f = 15/2 Hertz

Given wavelength $\lambda$ = 2m

Transverse speed $v = f \lambda$

$v = 15/2 * 2\\\\v = 30/2\\\\v = 15m/s$

Hence, the transverse speed at that point is 15m/s

a ball moves at a constant speed of 1/2 meter per second. How much time does it take the ball to move 1 meter?

lesya [120]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

if a ball travels 1/2 meter per second, and there's 2 halfs in a whole, 1/2 meter per second x 2 halfs in a whole meter is 2 seconds to travel a meter

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence $\lambda$ = 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$ , here t is thickness, $\lambda$ is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values $t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm$

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm
