Suppose a 4.0-kg projectile is launched vertically with a speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the maximum height the projectile reaches?
eduard

Answer:

h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)

Explanation:

This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the numbers = \frac{1}{2}(4.0)(8^{2})

Solve = 2(64) = 128 J

Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.

Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)

Kinetic energy = Potential Energy

128 J = 39.2h

h = 3.26 m

h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)

Capacitor 2 has half the capacitance and twice the potential difference as capacitor 1. What is the ratio (U_{\rm C})_1/\,(U_{\r
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Calling C_1 the capacitance of capacitor 1 and V_1 its potential difference, the energy stored in capacitor 1 is

U=\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2

For capacitor 2, we have:

- The capacitance is half that of capacitor 1: C_2 = \frac{C_1}{2}

- The voltage is twice the voltage of capacitor 1: V_2 = 2 V_1

so the energy stored in capacitor 2 is

U_2 = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{C_1}{2}(2V_1)^2 = C_1 V_1^2

So the ratio between the two energies is

\frac{U_1}{U_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2}{C_1 V_1^2}=\frac{1}{2}

Analogue signals transmit information for such things as _____________.
ivann1987 [24]

Transmission of information in ANY form can be done digitally
or analoguely.

Beginning about 30 years ago, everything slowly started changing
to digital.  Today, all commercial satellite communication, all optical
fiber communication, all internet communication, all computer
communication, all commercial cable communication, all commercial
television, and much of the telephone system, are all digital. 

On your computer ... .pdf,  .jpg, .mp3  etc.  are all digital methods of
moving and storing information.

AM and FM radio are an interesting subject.  They're all still analog.
They could easily be changed to all digital, and it would be a big
improvement, both for the broadcasters and for the listeners. 
BUT ... every AM and FM radio that anybody has now would be
obsolete.   Every single radio would either need to be replaced,
OR you'd need to add a digital decoder to every radio, like we
had to do with our TV sets a few years ago when television
suddenly became all digital.  With AM and FM radios, the decoders
would be bigger, and would cost more, than most of the radios.

And that's why commercial radio broadcasting is still analog.

A 15 kg object and a 18 kg object are connected by a massless compressed spring and
MatroZZZ [7]

Hi there!

This is an example of a recoil collision.

Using the conservation of momentum:

p_i = p_f

The initial momentum is 0 kgm/s (objects start from rest), so:

p_f = 0

We are given that the 15 kg block has a velocity of 12 m/s to the left, so:

m_1v_1' + m_2v_2' = 0 \\\\15(-12) + 18v_2' = 0 \\\\

Solve for v2':

18v_2' = 180 \\\\v_2' = \boxed{10 m/s}

Which statement is true of a piece of ice at 0°C that is put into a freezer at<br> -18°C?
butalik [34]

The statement which is true about a piece of ice at 0°C which is put into a freezer at -18°C is it having the temperature of the freezer.

<h3>What is Temperature?</h3>

This is referred to the degree of hotness or coldness of a body and the unit is Celsius or Kelvin.

The ice at 0°C will experience a change in temperature of the freezer when put in it in this scenario.
