Answer:

980 J

Explanation:

The change in box's energy is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

$\Delta U = m g \Delta h$

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the box

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta h= 2m$ is the change in height of the box

Substituting numbers, we find

$\Delta U = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)=980 J$

Light is incident along the normal to face AB of a glass prism of refractive index 1.54. Find αmax, the largest value the angle

marusya05 [52]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.

Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

Where,

$\theta =$ Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact

n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media

The total internal reflection would then be given by

$n_1 sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2$

$(1.54) sin\theta_1 = (1.33)sin(90)$

$sin\theta_1 = \frac{1.33}{1.54}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.54})$

$\theta = 59.72\°$

Therefore the $\alpha_{max}$ would be equal to

$\alpha = 90\°-\theta$

$\alpha = 90-59.72$

$\alpha = 30.27\°$

Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°

What is the total number of pounds of carbon dioxide that 2 trees remove from the air each<br> year?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

On average, one acre of new forest can sequester about 2.5 tons of carbon annually. Young trees absorb CO2 at a rate of 13 pounds per tree each year. Trees reach their most productive stage of carbon storage at about 10 years at which point they are estimated to absorb 48 pounds of CO2 per year.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The requested distance is 4320 meters

Explanation:

We can use the formula for velocity in this movement at constant velocity (v), which is defined as the quotient between the distance covered divided the time it took:

$v=\frac{distance}{time}$

Since we know the velocity and the time, we can solve for the distance:

$\neq v=\frac{distance}{time} \\18\,\frac{m}{s} = \frac{distance}{240\,\,s} \\distance=18\,*\,240\,\,m\\distance= 4320\,\,m$
