You lower a 2.50 kg textbook (remember when textbooks used to be made out of paper instead of being digital?) from a height of 1

.85 m to 1.50 m. What is its change in potential energy?

Answer:

Change in potential energy = 8.58 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity x Height

Potential energy = mgh

m = 2.50 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

Initial height, h₁ = 1.85 m

Final height, h₂ = 1.50 m

Change in potential energy = mgh₁  - mgh₂

Change in potential energy = 2.5 x 9.81 x 1.85 - 2.5 x 9.81 x 1.50

Change in potential energy = 8.58 J

An LED operation at 850 nm center wavelength has a spectral width of 45 nm. What is the pulse spreading in ns/km
Papessa [141]

Answer:

\mathbf{\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = 3.6 \ ns/ km}

Explanation:

From the given information, the LED is operating with a given wavelength of 850 nm or 0.85 μm.

Hence, the material dispersion is \dfrac {d \tau _{mat}}{d \lambda } \simeq (80 \ ps / (nm.km) \ )

Now, using the pulse spread formula:

\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = \dfrac{d \tau _{mat} }{d \lambda} \sigma \lambda

\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = (80 \ ps/ ( m.km) \ )  \times (45 \ nm)

Thus, the pulse spreading as a result of  material dispersion is:\mathbf{\dfrac{\sigma_{mat}}{L} = 3.6 \ ns/ km}

A wall (of thermal conductivity 0.98 W/m · ◦ C) of a building has dimensions of 3.7 m by 15 m. The average inside and outside
disa [49]

Answer:

Answer:

the amount of energy flowing is 1.008x10⁹J

Explanation:

To calculate how much heat flows, the expression is the following:

Where

K=thermal conductivity=0.81W/m°C

A=area=6.2*12=74.4m²

ΔT=30-8=22°C

L=thickness=8cm=0.08m

t=time=16.9h=60840s

What happens when you compress a gas?
8090 [49]
The density increases.
When gases are compressed, their volume decreases, and the resulting pressure increases. The temperature will change if either P or V are held constant. Since the volume decreases, then density, or m/V, increases.
P×V ~ T
