Answer:

599 meters is the answer rounded to the nearest whole number and 599.489795918 meters is the complete answer

Explanation:

to find gravitational potential energy you multiply mass x acceleration due to gravity (always 9.8 on earth) x hight

since we know the gravitational potential energy and want to find out the hight, we take the gravitational potential energy (470,000) and divide it by the product of acceleration due to gravity x mass (9.8 x 80)

so how high the hiker climbed is equal to 470,000 divided by (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / 784

hight = 599.489795918 meters

as for rounding, if the decimal is less than 5 you round "down" and keep the current whole number, if the decimal is 5 or greater you round "up" and add 1 to get your new number

Use a common denominator to find-2/3 + -4/5​
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

-22/15

Explanation:

the least common denominator is  15 so first you multiply -2/3 by 5 in both the numerator and denominator making it -10/15

Then you do the same to -4/5 except you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 giving you -12/15

If you add -10/15+ -12/15 you get -22/15

An insulated piston–cylinder device contains 100 L of air at 400 kPa and 25°C. A paddle wheel within the cylinder is rotated unt
solong [7]

Answer:

T'=70.92°C

Explanation:

Given that

V= 100 L=0.1 m³

P=400 KPa

T=25°C

Work done on the air = 15 KJ

W= -15 KJ

If we assume that air is ideal gas

P V = m R T

R=0.287 KJ/kg.K for air

T= 273 + 25 = 298 K

By putting the values

P V = m R T

400 x 0.1 = m x 0.287 x 298

m=0.46 kg

From first law of thermodynamics

Q= ΔU +W

Insulated piston–cylinder  , Q=0

ΔU  = m Cv  ΔT

   ΔU = - W

Cv = 0.71 KJ/kg.k for air

0.46 x 0.71 x (T' -25) = 15  

T'=70.92 °C

So the final temperature of air is T'=70.92 °C

parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 25 cm on a side and 1.0 mmapart. The capacitor is connected to a 50.0-V ba
noname [10]

Answer:

6.9 x 10^-7 J  

3.5 x 10^-7 J

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The energies stored in the capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart  

<u>List the Knowns: </u>

Voltage of the battery: V = 50 V

Area of the plates: A = 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625 m^2

Original distance between the plates: d = 1 mm = 10^-3 m

New distance between the plates: d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

Permittivity of free space: ∈o = 8.85 x 10^-12 C^2/Nm^2-

<u>Set Up the Problem:   </u>

Capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:  

C=∈o*A/d

Energy stored in a capacitor:  

U_c=(1/2)*V^2*C

<u>Solve the Problem:   </u>

<u>Before the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/10^-3 = 5•53 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 5.53 x 10^-10= 6.9 x 10^-7 J  

<u>After the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/2*10^-3 = 2•77 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 2•77 x 10^-10 = 3.5 x 10^-7 J  

The energy decrease because the capacitance decrease, so the stored charge decrease and transferred to the battery
