Answer:

Schrodinger's cat explains that the state of an object is not known until  

an observer observes the state - therefor if the cat is in an enclosed box and the probability of some toxic substance escaping is 1/2, the cat is 1/2 dead and 1/2 alive until its actual state is observed by an external observer. An old saying "is the moon really there if no one is looking at it"

a 15 kg tv sots on a shelf at a height of 0.3 m. how much gravitational potential energy is added to the television when it is l
nata0808 [166]
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).

Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.

After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.

To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:

147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.

A spring that is compressed 14.5 cm from its equilibrium position stores 2.99 J of potential energy. Determine the spring consta
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

284.4233 N/m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant

x = Compression of spring = 14.5 cm

U = Potential energy = 2.99 J

The potential energy of a spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

Rearranging to get the value of k

\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2U}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{2\times 2.99}{0.145^2}\\\Rightarrow k=284.4233\ N/m

The spring constant is 284.4233 N/m

<h3>Question 1</h3>

Answer

option C) velocity

Explanation

acceleration =  Δv ÷ Δt

<h3>Question 2</h3>

Answer

option C) m/s²

Explanation

Δv ÷ Δt

= m/s ÷ s

= m/s x 1/s

= m/s²

<h3>Question 3</h3>

Answer

option B) velocity has both direction and speed.

That is why velocity can be negative but speed can not and velocity is rate of change of displacement where as speed is rate of change of distance.
