The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to chemical energy. Living organisms like humans and animals could not directly utilize the energy from the sun because of lack in organs that would allow photosynthesis. Humans and animals obtain the energy from the sun from the intake of food. These foods contain chemical energy which is obtained from the solar energy of the sun. Plants use solar energy for photosynthesis which converts the energy into chemical energy. Then, animals and humans eat the plants obtaining the chemical energy which can readily processed by the body as compared to solar energy.
Explanation:
Formula which holds true for a leans with radii
and
and index refraction n is given as follows.
Since, the lens is immersed in liquid with index of refraction
. Therefore, focal length obeys the following.
and,
or,
= 32.4 cm
Using thin lens equation, we will find the focal length as follows.

Hence, image distance can be calculated as follows.


= 47.9 cm
Therefore, we can conclude that the focal length of the lens in water is 47.9 cm.
To increase the rate of dissolving you can stir the concentration, heat the mixture, or grind the solute.
Answer:
a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]
Explanation:
a)
The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.
![E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3Dm%2Ag%2Ah%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5Cm%20%3D%20mass%20%3D%2060%5Bkg%5D%5C%5Cg%20%3D%20gravity%20%3D%209.81%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D%5C%5Ch%20%3D%20elevation%20%3D%2010%20%5Bm%5D%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%3D60%2A9.81%2A10%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%3D5886%5BJ%5D)
b)
Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
![E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3D%20E_%7Bk%7D%20%5C%5C5886%20%3D0.5%2Am%2Av%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5Cv%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B%5Cfrac%7B5886%7D%7B0.5%2A60%7D%20%7D%5C%5Cv%20%3D%2014%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
c)
The work is equal to
W = 5886 [J]
d)
We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.
![v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_%7Bf%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D%3D%20v_%7Bo%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D-2%2Aa%2Ad%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5Cd%20%3D%202.5%5Bm%5D%5C%5Cv_%7Bf%7D%3D0%5C%5Cv_%7Bo%7D%20%3D14%5Bm%2Fs%5D%5C%5CTherefore%5C%5Ca%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B14%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7B2%2A2.5%7D%20%5C%5Ca%20%3D%2039.2%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D)
By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.
m*g - F = m*a
F = m*a - m*g
F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)
F = 1763.4 [N]
Velocity of an object is its rate of change of the object's position per interval of time. Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is represented by the speed and the direction is represented by the angle. To determine the velocity components, we use trigonometric functions to determine the angle of the components. For the north component we, use the sine function while, for the west component, we use the cosine function. We calculate as follows:
north velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (sin 54°) = 16.4 m/s
<span>west velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (cos 54°) = 3.49 m/s</span>
