PE = mgh

so (75kg)(9.8m/s2)(100m) = 73,500 Joules

KE = 1/2 m * v^2

so (1/2)(75kg)(60m/s)^2 = 135,000 Joules

ME = 208,500 Joules

Which countries that had sea ice along their coasts in September 1986 were bordered by open water in September 2017?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland

Explanation:

Sea ice is a frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. It is formed between the Antarctic and Arctic hemisphere. It disappears in summer but not completely. The countries that experienced sea ice in 1986 were eight (8) in number but the countries bordered by open water were in September 2017 were Norway, Iceland, Finland and Russia.

The bending of light as it passes into a transparent material of different optical intensity is known as A. conversion. B. aberr
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>D. refraction</em>

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction is change in direction of light rays. Refraction occurs whenever light rays travels from a transparent medium to another transparent medium of different density. The abrupt change in direction at the surface of the surface of the two media is referred to as <em>refraction</em><em>.</em>

<em>Refraction occurs when light travels from air to glass or from air to liquid.</em>

<em>Laws Of Refraction:</em>

(i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal, all at the point of incident lies in the same plane.

(ii) The ratio of the sine of the angle of incident to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

<em>Thus the right option is D. refraction</em>

2 m3 of an ideal gas are compressed from 100 kPa to 200 kPa. As a result of the process, the internal energy of the gas increase
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

work done is -150 kJ

Explanation:

given data

volume v1 = 2 m³

pressure p1 = 100 kPa

pressure p2 = 200 kPa

internal energy = 10 kJ

heat is transferred  = 150 kJ

solution

we know from 1st law of thermodynamic is

Q = du +W    ............1

put here value and we get

-140 = 10 + W

W = -150 kJ

as here work done is -ve so we can say work is being done on system

When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a
Sergeu [11.5K]

1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

F=kx

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

F=ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

ma=kx (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const. (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a  maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a  maximum
