The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

The potential energy of a body or object is due to its position. The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the highest point.

U = mgh

Where,

U - potential energy

m - mass

g - gravitation acceleration

h - height

Since the mass and gravitation acceleration is constant hence potential energy will be directly proportional to the height of the ball.

Therefore, the ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight.

The sound level of one person talking at a certain distance from you is 61 dB. If she is joined by 5 more friends, and all of th
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹

=10^{-5.9}

intensity of sound of 5 persons

I=5\times 10^{-5.9}

dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}

= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹

= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )

= 67.98

sound level will be 67.98 dB .

Firecracker A is 300 m from you. Firecracker B is 600 m from you in the same direction. You see both explode at the same time. D
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

e see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

Explanation:

This is an ejercise in special relativity, where the speed of light is constant.

Let's carefully analyze the approach, we see the two events at the same time.

The closest event time is

       c = (x₁-300) / t

       t = (x₁-300) / c

The time for the other event is

       t = (x₂- 600) / c

since they tell us that we see the events simultaneously, we can equalize

        (x₁ -300) / c = (x₂ -600) / c

         x₁ = x₂ - 300

We see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

A 3.50-meter length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 × 10-6 meter2 is at 20° Celsius. If the wire has a resistance of
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m

Explanation:

Resistivity is given by \rho=\frac {AR}{L} where A is cross-sectional area, R is resistance, L is the length and \rho is the reistivity. Substituting 0.0625 for R, 3.14 × 10-6 for A and 3.5 m for L then the resistivity is equivalent to

\rho=\frac {3.14\times 10^{-6}\times 0.0625}{3.5}=5.60714285714285714285714285714285714285\times 10^{-8}\approx 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m
