Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are basically two main types of energy, kinetic and potential. Potential energy is energy that is stored. There are various types of stored, or potential energy. Chemical energy from a battery is a potential form of energy, elastic energy in a stretched rubber band is a form of potential energy, but the most commonly referred to form of potential energy in physics is that of gravitational potential energy. This is energy that is stored due to an object's position. It is dependent on the mass of the object, the height of the object above the ground or Earth, and the acceleration due to gravity.

A scientist measures the growth of a bamboo plant over time. The table above shows the results. What is the best interference fo
lisabon 2012 [21]

(B) 2.25cm

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

At 40 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.1cm

At 50 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.4cm

Height of the bamboo plant after 45 hours = ?

The difference in length from 40 to 50 hours = 2.4 - 2.1cm

                                                                      = 0.3 cm

Mean of 40 and 50 is 45.

Thus,

At 45 hours, the height will increase by 0.3/2

                                                         = 0.15 cm

Height at 45 hour = 2.1 + 0.15cm

                           = 2.25cm

Therefore, the height of the plant after 45 hours is 2.25cm

Give a calculate answer to show that the two values (English system and metric system) for the Planck Constant are equivalent.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Given values of Planck Constant are equivalent in English system and metric system.

Explanation:

Value of Planck's constant is given in English system as 4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵eV s.

Converting this in to metric system .

We have 1 eV = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Converting

     4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵eV s = 4.14 x 10⁻¹⁵x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ Joule s

So Given values of Planck Constant are equivalent in English system and metric system.

How does a bimetallic strip work in a sinple alarm system​
tatiyna
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.

A man hits a golf ball (0.2 kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s2. What amount of force acted on the ball?
Delvig [45]
Newton taught us that    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force  =  (0.2) x (20) = <em>4 newtons</em> .

Something to think about:  The ball can only accelerate while the club-face
is in contact with it.  Once the ball leaves the club, it can't accelerate any more,
because the force against it is gone.
