The energy an object possesses due to its motion

1 answer:

4 0

Energy that a moving object has due to its motion is Kinetic Energy. Kinetic Energy: The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has.

Amount:

Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion or its stored energy of position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic (energy of motion) or potential (energy of position). An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to do work.

Mice21 [21]

The wavelength of the radio wave is 0.303 m.

<h3>Wavelength</h3>

The wavelength of the wave is the distance traveled by the wave.

c = fλ

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁷ m/s
f is frequency
λ is wavelength

λ = c/f

λ = (3 x 10⁷ ) / (99 x 10⁶)

λ = 0.303 m

Thus, the wavelength of the radio wave is 0.303 m.

A portable basketball set has a base and a post arrangement. The post arrangement consists of a post, backboard, hoop and net. T

Ray Of Light [21]

The rotational equilibrium condition allows finding the response to the minimum force of the wind and what happens when changing the water for sand, in the system

a) The minimum force of the wind that turns the system is Fw = 17.64 N

b) The system resists much greater forces because the base has more mass

Newton's Second Law can be applied to rotational motion in this case when the angular acceleration is zero we have the special case of rotational equilibrium

Σ τ = 0

Where τ is the torque

The reference system is a coordinate system with respect to which the torques are measured, in this case we will fix the system at the turning point, the junction of the base and the pole, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive.

For the torque the distance used is the perpendicular distance from the direction of the force to the axis of rotation, let's find this distance for each force

Wind force

cos 15 = $\frac{y_w}{2.35}$

$y_w$ = 2.35 cos 15

Post Weight

sin 15 = $\frac{x_p}{2.00}$

xp = 2.0 sin 15

Base weight

cos (90-15) = $\frac{x_b}{0.25}$

xB = 0.25 cos 75

Let's substitute in the rotational equilibrium equation

$F_w \ y_w + W_p \ x_p - W_b \ x_b = 0$

a) To calculate the minimum wind force we substitute the given values

They indicate the weight of the post is $W_p$ = 26.0 N and the weight of the base with water is $W_b$ = 810 N

$F_w = \frac{W_b \ x_b - W_p \ x_p }{y_w}$

$F_w = \frac{W_b \ 0.25 cos75 \ - W_p \ 2 sin 15}{2.35 cos 15}$

Let's calculate

$F_w = \frac{810 \ 0.25 \ cos75 \ - 26.0 \ 2 \ sin 15}{2.35 cos15}\\F_w = \frac{52.41 - 10.30}{2.3699}$

$F_w$ = 17.64 N

b) The water is exchanged for sand.

In this case, as the density of the sand is greater than that of the water, the base will have more weight, so it will resist stronger winds before turning over.

Using the rotational equilibrium condition we can find the response to the minimum force of the wind and what happens when changing the water for sand,

a) the minimum force of the wind that turns the system is Fw = 17.64 N

b) the system resists much greater forces because the base has more mass

A radar station sends out a 250000 Hz sound wave at a speed of 340 m/s. The sound wave bounces off a weather ballon and returns

Eddi Din [679]

Answers:

a)The balloon is 68 m away of the radar station

b) The direction of the balloon is towards the radar station

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the Doppler shift equation:

$f'=\frac{V+V_{o}}{V-V_{s}} f$ (1)

Where:

$f=250,000 Hz$ is the actual frequency of the sound wave

$f'=240,000 Hz$ is the "observed" frequency

$V=340 m/s$ is the velocity of sound

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the velocity of the observer, which is stationary

$V_{s}$ is the velocity of the source, which is the balloon

Isolating $V_{s}$ :

$V_{s}=\frac{V(f'-f)}{f'}$ (2)

$V_{s}=\frac{340 m/s(240,000 Hz-250,000 Hz)}{240,000 Hz}$ (3)

$V_{s}=-14.16 m/s$ (4) This is the velocity of the balloon, note the negative sign indicates the direction of motion of the balloon: It is moving towards the radar station.

Now that we have the velocity of the balloon (hence its speed, the positive value) and the time ( $t=4.8 s$ ) given as data, we can find the distance:

$d=V_{s}t$ (5)

$d=(14.16 m/s)(4.8 s)$ (6)

Finally:

$d=68 m$ (8) This is the distance of the balloon from the radar station

Which factor increases as a result of increasing altitude? Air pressure, air density, heights of sea level, space between gas mo

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

heights of sea level and the space between gas molecules.

Explanation:

Asking that Which factor increases as a result of increasing altitude?

As the height above the sea increases, air density decreases because the molecule of the air will spread out causing air density to decrease. Also, there will be less air pressing down which will lead to a decrease in air pressure.

Therefore, the heights of sea level, and space between gas molecules are the factor that will increase as a result of increasing altitude. Not Air pressure and air density. But the heights of sea level and the space between gas molecules.
