Consider a system of a cliff diver and the Earth. The gravitational potential energy of the system decreases by 25,000 J as the

diver drops to the water from a height of 44.0 m. Determine her weight in newtons.

Answer:

568.18 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The formula for gravitational potential is given as

Ep = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where Ep = Gravitational potential, m = mass of the diver,h = Height.

But,

W = mg.................... Equation 2

Where W = weight of the diver.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

Ep = Wh

Make W the subject of the equation

W = Ep/h................... Equation 3

Given: Ep = 25000 J, h = 44 m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 25000/44

W = 568.18 N.

Hence the weight of the diver = 568.18 N

Which statement is true for light passing into a medium that is less optically dense than the first medium through which it pass
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The index of refraction of the second medium is lower

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material indicates the magnitude of the optical density of a material. The index of refraction or the refractive index, n, are indices (ratio) of the speed of light through an optically dense medium relative to the speed of light through a vacuum.

The definition of the refractive index is the number of times light travelling through a medium would be slower than light travelling through vacuum

Therefore, the index of refraction of a second medium that is less optically dense than a first medium from which light originates and travels through it would be lower than the index of refraction of the first medium

A block of mass = 4.00 kg is supported by a spring scale with unit of measure of Newtons. This spring scale is attached to top o
faust18 [17]

Answer:

118 N

Explanation:

Given mass of the block, m = 4.00kg.

The acceleration of the elevator, a = 3.0 m/s^2.

As elevotar attaced with spring scale and accelerating upward

(block and elevator), so total force

F_N-mg=ma

Here, mg is the weight of the block downward direction.

or

F_N=ma+mg=m(g+a)

substitute the given value, we get

F_N=4kg(9.8m/s^2+3m/s^2)

     = 117.6 N = 118 N.

Thus, the reading on the spring scale to 3 significant figures is 118 N.

A coil formed by wrapping 65 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

377 m

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 65

θ = 36°

B1 = 200 micro Tesla

B2 = 600 micro tesla

t = 0.4 s

induced emf, e = 80 mV

Let a be the side of the square coil.

e=\frac{d\phi }{dt}=NA\frac{dB}{dt}\times Sinθ

0.080=\frac{65\times a^{2}\times Sin36\times\left ( 600 - 200 \right )\times 10^{-6}}{0.4}

0.080=0.038a^{2}

a = 1.45 m

Total length of the wire, L = N x 4a = 65 x 4 x 1.45 = 377 m

Thus, the length of the wire is 377 m.
