As an acapulco cliff diver drops to the water from a height of 42.0 m, his gravitational potential energy decreases by 27,500 j.

what is the diver's weight in newtons?

We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

<span>weight = 654.76 Newtons</span>

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R

What is the minimum uncertainty in the vertical component of the momentum of each photon in the beam after the photon has passed
RoseWind [281]
<h3><u>Minimum uncertainty in the vertical component of the momentum of each photon:</u></h3>

According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle, both the “position and velocity of the particle” cannot be measured exactly at the same time. The momentum of the particle equals the product of its mass and velocity. And it can be inferred that the “product of the uncertainties” in the “momentum and the position” of a particle equals \frac{h}{4 \pi}.  

Immediately after the photon has passed through the slit, given particle has a momentum uncertainty of \Delta P_{x} and its position uncertainty is \Delta x, then the minimum uncertainty in its momentum will be

\Delta P_{x} . \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi}
