A particle has 37.5 J of kinetic energy and 12.5 J of gravitational potential energy at one point during its fall from a tree to

the ground. An instant before striking the ground, how much mechanical energy-rounded to the nearest Joule-does the particle have? Ignore air resistance.​

3 0

Answer: 50J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy follows the same principles of kinetic energy and potential energy, it is conserved. So Ei = Ef.

Mechanical energy is the sum of ALL energy's. There is no friction, so its just kinetic plus potential.

37.5 + 12.5 = 50J

Since the particle has not touched the ground, it has not transferred any energy to the ground yet, therefore the mechanical energy must still be 50J; mostly in kinetic energy with a very small amount of potential because of the low height relative to the ground.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Each half wavelength has a point of largest amplitude (aka a node). Depending on the wavelength each node oscillates at a certain rate of swings per unit of time. The latter is referred to as frequency and measure in Hertz [Hz].

If you increase the elasticity of a material, what happens to the speed of a mechanical wave going through it?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

At the molecular level, materials are held together by bonds, which act like springs for small displacements from the equilibrium spacing between neighboring atoms. Push the atoms close, the bond pushes back to keep them apart. Pull them apart, the bond pulls the atoms closer. For those small displacements, it acts like a spring

The speed of the wave will be related to the stiffness of of those springs - you compress the material - how quickly do all of those little springs rebound and push their neighboring atoms away, sending that wave of compression through the material.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

\frac{3}{8} inches

Explanation:

the variations in riser height or tread depth should not be grater than \frac{3}{8} inches that is equal to 9.5 mm but the maximum riser height should be the  \frac{81}{4} inch  but variation in riser height should not exceed to \frac{3}{8} inches. The minimum riser height should be 7 inches which is equal to the 178 mm

NemiM [27]

Answer:

1) Magnesium metal/magnesium ion

2) Aluminum/aluminum ion

3)  Copper metal/copper(l) ion

Explanation:

The activity series is a series that shows the ease of reactivity of substances in an electrochemical cell.

The substances that are higher up in the series are more reactive in electrochemical cells.

Magnesium is the first element in the series that has the most negative redox potential  then followed aluminium.

Hence, according to Nernst,

1) Magnesium metal/magnesium ion

2) Aluminum/aluminum ion

3)  Copper metal/copper(l) ion
