(I WILL GIVE OUT BRAINLIEST) Two objects were lifted by a machine. One object had a mass of 2 kilograms, and was lifted at a speed of 2 m/sec. The other had a mass of 4 kilograms and was lifted at a rate of 3 m/sec. Which object had more potential energy when it was lifted to a distance of 10 meters?

Answers

Answer:

Consinder the first body

[tex]potential \: energy = mgh \\ = 2 \times 10 \times 10 \\ = 200 \: joules[/tex]

Consider the second body

[tex]potential \: energy = mgh \\ = 4 \times 10 \times 10 \\ = 400 \: joules[/tex]

The body of mass 4 kg had the greater potential energy than the body of 2 kg

A tennis ball launcher works by using a spring to

propel the ball forward.

One model of tennis ball launcher has

advertised that it is capable of imparting

15,000 J of kinetic energy to a 0.5 kg ball

initially at rest. A student carefully measures the

compression of the spring to be 0.10 m.

What is the value of the spring constant for the

tennis ball launcher according to the data

provided?

Answers

Answer:

3MN/m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Kinetic Energy KE=15,000J  

mass m= 0.5kg

compression x= 0.1m

Step two:

The expression for the energy stored in spring is

[tex]KE= 1/2ke^2\\\\15000=1/2 *k*0.1^2\\\\15000=1/2*k*0.01\\\\15000=0.005k\\\\[/tex]

divide both sides by

0.005

[tex]k= 15000/0.005\\\\k=3000000\\\\k= 3MN/m[/tex]

From conservation of energy, the value of the spring constant for the tennis ball launcher according to the data is 3 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Nm

The work done by a  tennis ball launcher by using a spring to propel the ball forward is equal to the kinetic energy which is 15,000 Joule. That is,

W = K.E

The given parameters are:

K.E = 15,000 J

Mass m = 0.5 kg

compression x = 0.1 m

The elastic potential energy on the spring will be equal to the work done by the tennis ball launcher. That is,

E = W

since W = K.E

E = K.E

1/2k[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 1/2m[tex]v^{2}[/tex] = 15,000

1/2k[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 15000

Substitute for 0.1 for x

1/2 K ([tex]0.1^{2}[/tex]) = 15000

[tex]0.1^{2}[/tex] K = 30000

K = 30000/0.01

K = 3 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Nm

Therefore,  the value of the spring constant for the tennis ball launcher according to the data is 3 x [tex]10^{6}[/tex] Nm

I need the answer to this question what has the student plotted on the vertical axis?

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

In trying to achieve what the student wanted to see, which is to see the relationship between the weight the cord can hold and how long the cord will stretch. Since the origin of the graph is from zero, the value plotted on the vertical axis would be just the length caused by each weights. Thus, the original length would have to be subtracted from the measured length to determine the actual length caused by the weight added to the cord.

Identify how the energy flows up through the ecosystem. Describe how decomposers help to cycle matter in an ecosystem and their limitations?

Answers

Answer:

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, they carry out decomposition, a process possible by only certain kingdoms, such as fungi. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. While the terms decomposer and detritivore are often interchangeably used, detritivores ingest and digest dead matter internally, while decomposers directly absorb nutrients through external chemical and biological processes. Thus, invertebrates such as earthworms, woodlice, and sea cucumbers are technically detritivores, not decomposers, since they must ingest nutrients - they are unable to absorb them externally.

Explanation:

A student lifts a basketball to a height of 6 feet and lets the ball drop to the ground. Which statement accurately compares the ball's energy at a height of 6 feet (at rest) and at a height of 2 feet (falling)?
A.
The ball's kinetic energy is the same at both heights, but its potential energy is different.
B.
The ball has less potential energy and more kinetic energy at 6 feet than at 2 feet.
C.
The ball's potential energy is the same at both heights, but its kinetic energy is different.
D.
The ball has more potential energy and less kinetic energy at 6 feet than at 2 feet.

Answers

Answer:C

Explanation:

If you are holding the ball that would be the ball would have potential energy since it it not moving. Once you drop the ball it will have kinetic energy since it’s moving. If you drop the ball from 6ft it will have more kinetic since it will have more time to accelerate. If you drop the ball from 2ft then it will have less kinetic energy since it is closer to the ground and won’t have beeping time to accelerate and get rid of the potential energy.

Answers

Answer:

It's a cause that's the last layer

Answer:

I believe the answer is A

Explanation:

It is not the ring of fire because the ring of fire is the result of tectonic plates moving. It is not the biosphere because biosphere is the regions of the surface.  The convecting mantle is the solid layer of the Earth because the mantle is mostly solid. The atmosphere is a solid plastic layer of the Earth. I hope this helps.

What is the relationship between the frequency of light and refraction?

Answers

Answer:

The refractive index of a medium is dependent (to some extent) upon the frequency of light passing through, with the highest frequencies having the highest values of n. It also changes the wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.. Although the wave slows down, its frequency remains the same, due to the fact that its wavelength is shorter. When waves travel from one medium to another the frequency never changes. As waves travel into the denser medium, they slow down and wavelength decreases

Explanation:

Answer:the higher the frequency the greater the index of refraction

Explanation:The index of refraction of any material besides vacuum varies slightly with the frequency of light too soo basically the more or higher the frequency the greater the refraction (index of refraction)

For example

Say you have green or red light which they have lower frequency that blue or purple

So the index of refraction will be lower

Explanation:

Refraction is the bending of waves caused by a change made in the speed which allows it to move from one medium to another.

Answer:

C. Speed of light

Explanation:

Refraction of light is caused due to change in the speed of light in different mediums. Refraction is the bending of the path of a light wave as it passes from one material into another material. The refraction occurs at the boundary and is caused by a change in speed of light wave upon crossing the boundary

A dart is thrown from 1.50 m high at 10.0 m/s toward a target 1.73 m from the ground. At what angle was the dart thrown?

Answers

Answer:

The angle of projection is 12.26⁰.

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the dart, h₀ = 1.50 m

height above the ground reached by the dart, h₁ = 1.73 m

maximum height reached by the dart, Hm = h₁ - h₀ = 1.73 m - 1.50 m= 0.23 m

velocity of the dart, u = 10 m/s

The maximum height reached by the projectile is calculated as;

[tex]H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}[/tex]

where;

θ is angle of projection

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

[tex]H_m = \frac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}\\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{H_m \ \times \ 2g}{u^2} \\\\sin^2 \theta = \frac{0.23 \ \times \ 2(9.8)}{10^2} \\\\sin ^2\theta =0.04508\\\\sin \theta = \sqrt{0.04508} \\\\sin \theta = 0.2123\\\\\theta = sin^{-1}(0.2123)\\\\\theta = 12.26^0[/tex]

Therefore, the angle of projection is 12.26⁰.

The mass of a box is 300 kg and it's base area is 15m². Calculate the pressure exerted by the box on the ground.

Answers

Answer:

• Mass, m = 300 kg

• Area, a = 15 m²

• Acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s²

To Find :

• The pressure exerted by the box on the ground

Solution :

We know that,

★ Pressure = Force/Area

For calculation of Pressure we will have to find the force acquired first

From Newton's 2nd law of motion :

★ Force = Mass × Acceleration

→ F = 300 × 9.8

→ F = 2940 Newtons

Put the value of Force in the formula of Pressure :

→ Pressure =  

→ Pressure = 196 Pascals

 The pressure exerted by the box on the ground is 196 Pascals.
