So,

GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height

GPE is depends on where zero height is defined.  In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.

GPE = 75 \ kg*9.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}*25 \ m

GPE = 18,375 \frac{kg*m^2}{s^2}

GPE = 18,375 \ joules(J) \ or \ 18.375 \ kilojoules(kJ)

The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.

Photons of infrared radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light will have what kind of energy compared to that
densk [106]

Answer:

Infrared photons carry lower radiation energy than the visible light.

Explanation:

  • Each photon carries an energy that is directly proportional to its frequency, being this proportionality constant the Planck's constant h.
  • So, we can write the energy of a single photon as follows:

       E = h*\nu (1)

  • Since there exists an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency, and infrared radiation has longer wavelengths, this means that its frequency is lower than the one of the visible light.
  • So, an infrared photon carries less energy that one of the visible light.

steposvetlana [31]

 

I’ve answered this problem before and there were 2 parts in this problem.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>A.    </span><span>Vf = Vi + Vex*ln(Mi / Mf) </span><span>
<span>0.002 * 3e8m/s = 0 + 2000m/s * ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>300 = ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>1.9e130 = Mi / Mf </span></span>

 

<span>B.    </span><span>4000m/s = 2000m/s * ln(Mi / Mf) </span><span>
<span>2 = ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>7.389 = Mi / Mf </span>
<span>Mf = Mi / 7.389 = 0.135*Mi<span> </span></span></span>

What is the explanation for this
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Opposite to the net force

Explanation:

The frictional force is a constant force that resists the motion of a body.

There are two classifications of frictional force

                       1)  Static friction

                       2)  Kinetic friction

When a force acts on two surfaces that prevent the sliding between them is the static frictional force.

When a force acts on a moving surface that opposes the motion of the surface is called the kinetic friction.

<em>The kinetic frictional force acts in the direction opposite to the motion and  the net force. </em>

The static and kinetic frictions are dimensionally the same quantity only the coefficient of the friction is higher for static friction.
