The formula for the potential energy, EP is given by

EP = m × g × h

where:
m is the mass in kilograms
g is the gravity (9.8 m/s²)
h is the height in meters

EP = 6 × 9.8 × 2 = 117.6 kg-m²/s²

Determine the total amount of heat, in joules, required to completely vaporize a 50.0-gram sample of h2o(?) at its boiling point
Tanzania [10]
In order to calculate the amount of energy required, we must first check the latent heat of vaporization of water from literature. The latent heat of vaporization of any substance is the amount of energy required per unit mass to convert that substance from a solid to a liquid. For water this is 2,260 J/g. We now use the formula:
Energy = mass * latent heat
Q = 50 * 2,260
Q = 113,000 J

113,000 Joules of heat energy are required.

An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of
Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}

\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m

(b) According to Bragg's law,

n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta

n = 1

For nickel, d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=0.010^{\circ}

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.

NEED IT ASAP PLEASE 3 examples of how we use physics in our everyday life. Please explain throughly.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

  1. Alarm Clock. The buzzing sound of an alarm clock helps you wake up in the morning as per your schedule. The sound is something that you can’t see, but hear or experience.
  2. Cell Phones Cellphones have become like Oxygen gas in modern social life. Hardly, anyone would have been untouched by the effects of a cell phone. Whether conveying any urgent message or doing incessant gossips, cellphones are everywhere. But do you know how does a cell phone work? It works on the principle of electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, undulating patterns of electricity and magnetism.
  3. Walking.Now, when you get ready for your office/school, whatever medium of commutation is, you certainly have to walk up to a certain distance. You can easily walk is just because of Physics. While you have a walk in a park or on a tar road, you have a good grip without slipping because of a sort of roughness or resistance between the soles of your shoes and the surface of the road.

Explanation:

physical is related to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.
