Answer:

Mechanical Energy (initial) = Mechanical energy (final)

Ep(initial) + Ek(initial) = Ep(final) + Ek(final)

mgh(initial) + 1/2mv²(initial) = mgh(final) + 1/2mv²(final)

m being the mass of the penguin (kg)

g being gravitational acceleration (9.80 m/s²)

v(initial) being zero

h(final) being zero,i.e. final height is zero

v(final) being final velocity

solve for h(initial) being initial height at the top of the glacier

answer will be in metres

NB: don't forget to square the velocity

Explanation:

Since they mentioned frictionless, we know that this is a closed system therefore we are free to use this equation of conservation of mechanical energy

Consider a single-slit diffraction pattern for λ=589nm , projected on a screen that is 1.00 m from a slit of width 0.25 mm. How
const2013 [10]

Answer: i) 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm, ii) 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm

Explanation: The formulae that relates the position of a fringe from the center to the wavelength, distance between slits and distance between slits and screen is given below as

y = R×(mλ/d)

Where y = distance between nth fringes and the center fringe.

m = order of fringe

λ = wavelength of light = 589nm = 589×10^-9m

R = distance between slits and screen = 1.0m

d = distance between slits = 0.25mm = 0.00025m

For distance between the first dark fringe and the center fringe.

This implies that m = 1

y = 1 × 589×10^-9 × 1/0.00025

y = 589×10^-9/0.00025

y = 2,356,000 × 10^-9

y = 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm

For the second dark fringe, this implies that m = 2

y = 1 × 2 × 589×10^-9/0.00025

y = 1178 × 10^-9 /0.00025

y = 4,712,000 × 10^-9

y = 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm

1. thomas jefferson proposed using the length (l) of a simple pendulum whose period (t) was exactly 2 seconds as the definition
Alecsey [184]

The length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

Given that, initial length of the simple pendulum L₁ = 1 m

Initial time period T₁ = 2 sec

We need to find the length of the pendulum whose time period is 2 sec

T₂ = 2 sec

L₂ = ?

We know that the time period of the simple pendulum is given by the formula,

T = 2π√(L/g)

From the above relation, we can write T ∝ √L

T₁ / T₂ = √(L₁/L₂)

Making L₂ from the above relation, we have,

L₂ = (T₂² * L₁)/ T₁² = 2² * 1/ 2² = 1 m

Thus, the length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

To know more about time period:

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be B.
<span>
Standard deviation basically measures how spread out the values are. Without solving, you can easily tell which one among your choices have a smaller deviation. The closer the values are to each other the smaller the standard deviation. The values of choice B are the closest together, so you can assume that they have the smallest standard deviation. </span>

I need help please, thank you!!!
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

135 mph

because 7+9=16

8 is left

if 7=40

9=50

then 8=45

add 40+50+45mph

=135
