Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the

rock?
Physics

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.

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.

When looking for distance you multiply speed by time

So 15 x 2 = 30

30 is the distance between his house and school
