Gravitational Potential Energy = weight x height

for 1 meter:

GPE = 5 x 1
 = <u>5N</u>

for 1.5 metres:

GPE = 5 x 1.5
 = <u>7.5N</u>

for 2 metres:

GPE = 5 x 2
 = <u>10N</u>

Prove the three laws of motion​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of (a) a mass of 1.0 g traveling at 1.0 m s−1 , (b) the same, traveling at 1.00 × 105 km s−1
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e)λ=∞

Explanation:

De Broglie discovered that an electron or other mass particles can have a wavelength associated, and that wavelength (λ) is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{mv}

with h the Plank's constant (6.63\times10^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}) and P the momentum of the object that is mass (m) times velocity (v).

a)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}kg*1.0)}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}*(1.00\times10^{8}))}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(6.65\times10^{-27}*1000)}

\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*2.22)}

\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e) \lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*0)}

λ=∞

What does frequency mean in science
matrenka [14]

There's nothing mysterious about it at all. "Frequency" simply means
"often-ness" ... how often or how frequently something happens.

-- The frequency of traditional meals is 3 per day.
-- The frequency of an equinox is 2 per year.
-- The frequency of my sleeping really late is 1 per week.
-- The frequency of my intense desire to sleep late is 30 per month.
etc.

-- The standard unit of frequency in the SI system is "per second".
The special name for that unit is "Hertz".  (Hz)
