The work done by gravity is  43 J while the work done by your habd is 27 J.

<h3>What is the work done?</h3>

We know that all over the earth is a large gravitational field. If an object is placed at a given height, the kind of energy that the object would be said to possess at that height is the gravitational potential energy. This is the kind of energy that a body would have because it is found at a given height on the earth surface.

Now, we know that gravity does some work on the book as it found to be at a position of about 2.2 on top of the shelf. The work that is done by the force of gravity on the book is obtained as;

W = mgh

W = work done

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

W = 2 * 9.8 * 2.2

= 43 J

The work that is done by your hand =

W = 2 * 9.8 (2.2 - 0.8)

= 27 J

(a) What is the ionization energy of a hydrogen atom that is in the n = 6 excited state? (b) For a hydrogen atom, determine the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

(a) 0.3778 eV

(b) Ratio = 0.0278

Explanation:

The Bohr's formula for the calculation of the energy of the electron in nth orbit is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{n^2}\ eV

(a) The energy of the electron in n= 6 excited state is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{6^2}\ eV

E=-0.3778\ eV

Ionisation energy is the amount of this energy required to remove the electron. Thus, |E| = 0.3778 eV

(b) For first orbit energy is:

E=\frac {-13.6}{1^2}\ eV

E=-13.6\ eV

Ratio=\frac {E_6}{E_1}

Ratio=\frac {-0.3778}{-13.6}

Ratio = 0.0278

Frim the castle wall 20 m high shot an arrow. The initial speed of the bow is 45 m/s directed 40 degrees above horizontal. Find
True [87]

Answer:

Range of arrow = 225.09 meter

Final horizontal velocity = 34.47 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, where u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken, a is the acceleration and s is the displacement.

Considering the vertical motion of arrow ( up direction as positive)

   We have u = 45 sin40 = 28.93 m/s, s = -20 m, a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8m/s^2.

   -20=28.93*t-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2-28.93t-20=0

   t = 6.53 seconds or t = -0.63 seconds

   So time = 6.53 seconds.

Considering the horizontal motion of arrow

   u = 45 cos 40 = 34.47 m/s, t = 6.53 s, a = 0m/s^2

   s=34.47*6.53+\frac{1}{2} *0*6.53^2\\ \\ s=225.09m

So range of arrow = 225.09 meter

Horizontal velocity will not change , final horizontal velocity = 34.47 m/s.

High rate of evaporation in a water cycle can most likely cause
scoray [572]
Answer: d. thunderstorms
The option <span>blizzards can be excluded as it is clearly not related to the evaporation. Floods can happen if the condensation rate high, not evaporation. Sometimes the cloud that carries water is just blown up by the wind so the evaporation does not happen in that place.
Thunderstorms happen more in summer because the rate of evaporation and condensation is increased.</span>
