Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, f = 9.38×10¹⁴ Hz

speed of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, equals speed of light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelength of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, λ = ?

Apply wave equation for speed, frequency and wavelength;

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = (3 x 10⁸) / (9.38×10¹⁴)

λ = 3.1983 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 319.83 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 319.83 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

In Example 2.12, two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. Horatio stands on a platform 6.4 m a

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

$h = 5.63 m$

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

$v_1 = 0$

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

$v_2 = 16.2 m/s$

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

$v_r = 16.2 m/s$

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

$d = v_r t$

$6.4 = 16.2 t$

$t = 0.395 m$

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

$h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2$

$h = 5.63 m$

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

If you doubled the load resistor in a Wheatstone bridge, the load current would not be half as much. Why not?

Fofino [41]

Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current. Increasing the load resistance, in turn the total circuit resistance is reduced. The load current would not be half as much since when you increase the size of load resistor then load current increases.

If i am changing velocity, i must also have _______ and a net _________

Alinara [238K]

if i am changing velocity, i must also have acceleration and a net force

<h2>Newton's first law of motion</h2>

Newton's first law of motion states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

According to Newton's first law of motion, without a force acting on an object, its velocity does not change. The net force acts on an object to change its velocity and cause acceleration.
