Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1376 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 8 × 10 × 17.2

We have the final answer as

<h3>1376 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Two sound waves (speed 343 m/s) have different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 5.72 m, and the second a wavelength of
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 30 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the two sound waves, v = 343 m/s

wavelength of the first wave, λ₁ = 5.72 m

wavelength of the second wave, λ₂ = 11.44 m

The frequency of the first wave is calculated as follows;

F₁ = v/λ₁

F₁ = 343 / 5.72

F₁ = 59.97 HZ

The frequency of the second wave is calculated as follows;

F₂ = v/λ₂

F₂ = 343 / 11.44

F₂ = 29.98 Hz

The beat frequency is calculated as;

Fb = F₁ - F₂

Fb =  59.97 HZ - 29.98 Hz

Fb = 30 Hz

Is visible light a form of<br> radiation? Explain.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Yes,in fact visible 'light' is a form of radiation, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like 'wave-packets', called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).

Why centre of mass equal to centre of gravity
Maksim231197 [3]
Because mass and distance determine gravity, so the more mass you have, the more gravity.
