Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel

14. A ball initially at rest rolls without slipping
elena-s [515]

Answer:

v = √(10gh/7)

Explanation:

Initial gravitational energy = final rotational energy + kinetic energy

PE = RE + KE

mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²

For a solid sphere, I = ⅖ mr².

For rolling without slipping, ω = v/r.

mgh = ½ (⅖ mr²) (v/r)² + ½ mv²

mgh = ⅕ mv² + ½ mv²

mgh = 7/10 mv²

10/7 gh = v²

v = √(10gh/7)

Mickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 0.0227 kg,0.0227 kg, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball." He is loade
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

1.65 m

Explanation:

Energy from spring, E_{s} is given by

E_{s}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression distance

E_{s}=0.5*51.1*0.129^{2}= 0.425178

E_{s}=0.425 J

Kinetic energy, KE at the highest point is given by

KE=0.5mv^{2} where m is mass and v is velocity

KE=0.5*0.0227*2.27= 0.058485 J

Potential energy, PE of spring is given by

PE=mgh where g is gravitational constant and h is maximum height reached by the mouse

PE=0.0227*9.81= 0.222687h

According to the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy of the compressed spring is equal to the potential and kinetic energy of the mouse at the maximum high point.

E_{s}=PE+KE

0.425=0.222687h+0.058485

h=(0.425-0.058485)/ 0.222687=1.646671 m

h=1.65 m
