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

Which telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation?.
son4ous [18]

Space telescopes must be placed in orbit around earth in order to observe short-wavelength radiation.

<h3>What is telescope?</h3>

A telescope is an optical instrument that uses lenses, curved mirrors, or a combination of both to watch distant objects.

When atoms in a gas reach this temperature, they travel so quickly that when they collide, they release X-ray photons with wavelengths smaller than 10 nanometers.

Because the Earth's atmosphere prevents all X-rays from space, these wavelengths must be seen using space telescopes.

To study short-wavelength radiation, space telescopes must be put in orbit around the Earth.

Hence, space telescope is the correct answer.

The speed of a moving bullet can be deter-
Bad White [126]

Answer:

<em>v = 381 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Linear Speed</u>

The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

Where:

x = Distance traveled

t = Time needed to travel x

We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.

The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

\displaystyle \omega=\frac{\theta}{t}

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

\theta=14*\pi/180=0.2443\ rad

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

\omega = 1436*2\pi/60=150.3776\ rad/s

Thus the time is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{0.2443\ rad}{150.3776\ rad/s}

t = 0.0016 s

Thus the speed of the bullet is:

\displaystyle v=\frac{0.61}{0.0016}

v = 381 m/s

Explain why the boiling point of a liquid varies with atmospheric pressure
OLEGan [10]
The boiling point of water, or any liquid, varies according to the surrounding atmospheric pressure. A liquid boils, or begins turning to vapor, when its internal vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.
