The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where 
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
\Delta h is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.

Some birds migrate 20,000 miles. If 1 mile equals 1.6 kilometers, calculate the distance these birds fly in kilometers.
faust18 [17]
Set up a proportion

1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x

Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers

A thin film of cryolite ( nc = 1.34 ) is applied to a camera lens ( ng = 1.58 ). The coating is designed to reflect wavelengths
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

=99.07nm

Explanation:

minimum thickness

2nd = (m  - 1/2)λ

d = (m - 1/2)(λ/2n)

refractive index of the thin film, n = 1.34

minimum thickness m = 1

light wavelength λ = 531nm

d = (1 - 1/2) (531 / (2)(1.34)

d = 531/5.36

  =  99.07nm
