Answer: 17.658kJ

Explanation:

The work done in lifting the refridgerator is given my

W = F.d

Where W = Work done, F = Force and d = distance/height to be covered by that force = 6m

But F = mg (this work is done against gravity)

Where m = mass of fridge and g = acceleration due to gravity.

F = 300kg × 9.81m/s^2

= 2943N

W = Fh (where h is the height to be scaled by the force)

W = 2943 × 6

W = 17658J

17.658kJ of work is needed to lift the refridgerator to a height of 6m

A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near earth's surface. a particle of charge -2.0 × 10-9 c is acted o
defon

Part a)

Magnitude of electric field is given by force per unit charge

E = \frac{F}{q}

E = \frac{4.3 * 10^{-6}}{2 * 10^{-9}}

E = 2150 N/C

Part b)

Electrostatic force on the proton is given as

F = qE

F = 1.6 * 10^{-19} * 2150

F = 3.44 * 10^{-16} N

PART C)

Gravitational force is given by

F_g = mg

F_g = 1.6 * 10^{-27}*9.8

F_g = 1.57 * 10^{-26} N

PART d)

Ratio of electric force to weight

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{3.44 * 10^{-16}}{1.57*10^{-26}}

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.2 * 10^{10}

A ball is dropped from a building of height h. Assume the ball starts from rest and that air friction can be ignored. Derive an
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t=\sqrt{h/g}

Explanation:

We use the kinematics equation to solve this question:

y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t+1/2*a*t^{2}

v_{o}=0    because the ball is dropped

a=-g         the acceleration is the gravity, negative because it points downwards

y_{o}=h     initial height

y(t)=h/2     final height

So:

h/2=h-1/2*g*t^{2}

t=\sqrt{h/g}

radio waves travel at the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s. the wavelength of a radio wave record is 200,000,000 hz is?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1.5m

Explanation:

Speed of waves is given as the product of the wavelength and frequency. Sometimes when frequency is not given but the period is given, we get the frequency as the reciprocal of the period. The speed of waves is given in m/s, wavelength in m while frequency in Hz.

Speed, s= fw and making w the subject of formula,

w=\frac {s}{f}

Substituting 300, 000, 000 m/s for s and 200, 000, 000 for f then we obtain that

w=\frac {300000000}{200000000}=1.5 m
