Answer:

2.52 m/s

Explanation:

When the man takes a step, his foot is stationary while his body revolves around it. At the point when his body is directly above his foot, there will be no normal force at his maximum speed.

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 0.650 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 0.650 m)

v = 2.52 m/s

Science please helppp

Daniel [21]

The red box must way more. Gravitational potential energy is the product of a an objects mass times the acceleration due to gravity (which is constant on earth) times its height. Since the objects are on the same shelf they are at the same height, and since gravitational acceleration is constant as long as we stay on planet earth, then the mass is the only possible thing that could have changed. This means that the red box must weigh more than the blue box.

Calculate the energy, wavelength, and frequency of the emitted photon when an electron moves from an energy level of -3.40 eV to

jasenka [17]

Answer:

(a) The energy of the photon is 1.632 x $10^{-8}$ J.

(b) The wavelength of the photon is 1.2 x $10^{-17}$ m.

Explanation:

Let;

$E_{1}$ = -13.60 ev

$E_{2}$ = -3.40 ev

(a) Energy of the emitted photon can be determined as;

$E_{2}$ - $E_{1}$ = -3.40 - (-13.60)

= -3.40 + 13.60

= 10.20 eV

= 10.20(1.6 x $10^{-9}$ )

$E_{2}$ - $E_{1}$ = 1.632 x $10^{-8}$ Joules

The energy of the emitted photon is 10.20 eV (or 1.632 x $10^{-8}$ Joules).

(b) The wavelength, λ, can be determined as;

E = (hc)/ λ

where: E is the energy of the photon, h is the Planck's constant (6.6 x $10^{-34}$ Js), c is the speed of light (3 x $10^{8}$ m/s) and λ is the wavelength.

10.20(1.6 x $10^{-9}$ ) = (6.6 x $10^{-34}$ * 3 x $10^{8}$ )/ λ

λ = $\frac{1.98*10^{-25} }{1.632*10^{-8} }$

= 1.213 x $10^{-17}$

Wavelength of the photon is 1.2 x $10^{-17}$ m.

E = hf

where f is the frequency of the photon.

1.632 x $10^{-8}$ = 6.6 x $10^{-34}$ x f

f = $\frac{1.632*10^{-8} }{6.6*10^{-34} }$

= 2.47 x $10^{25}$ Hz

Frequency of the emitted photon is 2.47 x $10^{25}$ Hz.

An engineer is designing a small toy car that will be launched from rest. The engineer wants to maximize the kinetic energy of t

aalyn [17]

The modifications to the car design that would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car is to increase the mass of the car slightly (option B).

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion. The kinetic energy equal (nonrelativistically) to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

According to this question, an engineer is designing a small toy car that will be launched from rest. The engineer wants to maximize the kinetic energy of the car when it is launched by a compressed spring.

However, he can only make one adjustment to the initial conditions of the car. Considering the fact that the mass of an object is directly proportional to the kinetic energy.

This suggests that the modifications to the car design that would have the greatest effect on increasing the kinetic energy of the car is to increase the mass of the car slightly.
