Potential energy becomes kinetic energy when:

Physics
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

EXAMPLE: A rock sitting on the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, as the rock will be moving. A stretched elastic string in a longbow.

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength=\lambda=410 nm

\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

\theta=14.5^{\circ}

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta

Substitute the values

(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5

d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}

d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm

What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave
MAVERICK [17]
Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.

Sati [7]

The question is missing alternatives. Here is the complete question.

An infrared spectrometer on Dawn found something unexpected on Ceres's surface. Its presence suggested that Ceres might have formed farther from the Sun, or been impacted by objects from a more-distant part of the solar system. What was this finding?

1. The fact that Ceres is covered with small dark particles  that appear identical to the composition of Uranus's rings.

2. The presence of a thick cloud layer made of sulfuric acid, similar to what is observed at Venus.

3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

4. The infrared spectrum of Ceres's surface is essentially identical to that of most objects in the Kuiper Belt.

Answer: 3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.

Explanation: The discovery of ammonia clay-like minerals in Ceres is surprising because it would be encoutered in planets that are far from the Sun, since ammonia requires colder temperatures, which is found beyond Jupiter's orbit, to condense. This finding can ascertain not only the origins of the dwarf planet as how the solar system was formed, were organized and evolved, because understanding where smaller planets are formed is important to determine their destiny.

Calculate the minimum amount of work needed to move a 500-kg rocket payload from Earth's surface to the ISS in orbit 400,000m ab
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

2.000.000.000

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

Work = Force . Displacement

W = 500.10 . 400.000            (the 10 come from gravity)

W = 5000 . 400.000

W = 2.000.000.000 Joules

I think it is that, can be wrong.

Name two examples of deposition.
Rashid [163]
The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation. One example of deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapor changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid.
