Answer:

Work done, W = -1440 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mas of an object, m = 60 kg

Initial velocity of the object, u = 8 m/s

Final velocity of an object, v = 4 m/s

We know that work done is equal to change in kinetic energy of an object as per work energy theorem.

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Putting all the values in above equation we get :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 60\ kg((4\ m/s)^2-(8\ m/s)^2)$

W = -1440 J

So, the work done by the object is -1440 Joules. Hence, the correct option is (A) " -1440 J ".

1. a) Name 2 properties of waves that change if the wave changes media.

Drupady [299]

1.) The properties of a wave are the following.
a) Amplitude - the height of the wave, measured in meters.
b) Wavelength - the distance between adjacent crests, measured in meters.
c) Period - the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
d) Frequency - the number of complete waves that pass a point in one second, measured in inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).
e) Speed - the horizontal speed of a point on a wave as it propagates, measured in meters / second.

Among these properties, PERIOD and SPEED changes if the wave changes media. The others remain the same.

2. Speed = Wavelength * Frequency
Wavelength and Frequency are independent from each other. But you can use the given formula and assume values to check the reaction of one from another.

3. Energy of a wave is based on its amplitude. High amplitude means high energy and vice versa. To increase the energy of a wave, the amplitude must be increased. Another way of increasing the energy of a wave is using elastic medium.

Which of the following is not a natural resource? a. time b. water c. land d. air Please select the best answer from the choices

AleksAgata [21]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Resources which are created by human beings are known as man-made resources.

For example, glass, rayon, nylon etc are all man-made resources.

Whereas resources which are naturally created are known as natural resources.

For example, wind, air, water etc are all natural resources.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options time is not a natural resource.
