A book weighs 0.5 kilograms on a book shelf that is 2 meters above the ground. What is the potential energy of the book relative

to the ground? (HINT: you may use 10 N/kg as the value for gravity)

Using the GPE=MGH, M=0.5 kg, G=9.8m/s H= 2 m multiply those all together and we will have 9.8 J (joules)

Maslowich
Well, you gave us the formula to calculate power from work and time,
but you didn't give us the formula for work.  We have to know that.

             Work = (force) x (distance)

The work to raise Sara to the top of the hill is

               Work = (300 N) x (15 meters)

                         =   4,500 newton-meters  =  4,500 joules .

Now we're ready to use the formula that you gave us.  (Thank you.)

                Power = (work) / (time)

                            = (4,500 joules) / (10 seconds)

                            450 joules/second  =  450 watts.

A sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz is moving through a solid object. If the wavelength of the sound wave is 8 m, what is th
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

v = 3200 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound wave is given as

f = 400 Hz

wavelength of the sound wave is given as

\lambda = 8 m

so now we have

speed = wavelength \times frequency

so we will have

v = (8m) \times (400 Hz)

v = 3200 m/s

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Photons.

Explanation:

Einstein explained the photoelectric effect by proposing that light is transmitted, not in the form of continuous waves, but in the form of many tiny, discrete packets of energy called photons. Photons are massless and  chargeless particle. The energy of a photon is given by :

E=hf

f is the frequency of photon.

Pressure is about 1000 hPa at sea level and about 500 hPa at an altitude of 5.5 km. Why doesn’t this vertical pressure gradient
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.

Explanation:

A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:

p = p_0 + \rho g h

where p, p_0 are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.

B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.

C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.

D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.

E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.
