Answer:

7.150 KJ

Explanation:

The total energy of a system is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy in the system. According to this question, the kinetic energy (KE) = 1368 J and a potential energy (PE) = 5782J.

Total energy of the system will be PE + KE as follows;

1368J + 5782J

= 7150J

However, the question demanded that the answer be in kJ (kilojoules), which is higher than the joules.

Since 1kJ = 1000J

7150J = 7150/1000

= 7.150kJ

When the sound from two sound waves goes up and down (loud, soft, loud, soft) it makes a distinctive sound pattern called beats.

djverab [1.8K]

The beats are actually two new sounds.

Their frequencies are (the sum of the original two frequencies) and (the difference of the original two frequencies).

The existence of the beats is the result of the difference in the frequencies of the original two sounds. <em> (b)</em>

A charged box ( m = 495 g, q = + 2.50 μ C ) is placed on a frictionless incline plane. Another charged box ( Q = + 75.0 μ C ) is

Rudik [331]

Answer:

$a=16.2m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

From the attached file diagram, the total force acting on the charged box is the downward weight and the repulsive force acting in opposite to the weight force . Hence we can write the total force as

$F=masin\alpha -\frac{kQq}{r^{2}} \\\alpha =35^{0}, m=0.495kg, r=0.61m, Q=2.5*10^{-6}, q=75.0*10^{-6}\\$

When fixed,F=o

Hence

$masin\alpha =\frac{kQq}{r^{2}}\\0.495kg*asin35=\frac{9*10^{9}*2.5*10^{-6}*75.0*10^{-6}}{0.61^{2}} \\0.28a=4.5351\\a=\frac{4.5351}{0.28}\\\\ a=16.2m/s^{2}$

The value of the acceleration is 16.2m/s^2

A 107 gram apple falls from a branch that is 2 meters above the ground. (a) How much time elapses before the apple hits the grou

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The time of motion is 0.64 s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the apple, m = 107 g

height of fall, h = 2 m

The velocity of the apple when it hits the ground is calculated from the law of conservation of energy;

$P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\gh = \frac{1}{2} v^2\\\\v^2 = 2gh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2} \\\\v = 6.261 \ m / s$

The time of motion is calculated;

v = u + gt

6.261 = 0 + 9.8t

6.261 = 9.8t

t = 6.261 / 9.8

t = 0.64 s

Therefore, the time of motion is 0.64 s

The phrase terminal velocity can best be defined as

Anna007 [38]

None of these are a good definition; a good definition would be "the maximum velocity that an object can fall at." however the best answer out go those is c. the constant velocity of some falling objects.
