A 60-kg skier starts from rest at the top of a 80-meter high practice slope (A). He uses his poles to propel himself forward, do

ing 12000 Joules of positive work from the top of the hill to the halfway point on the hill (B). Use g = 10 m/s/s to perform an energy analysis

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of skier m=65kg

Height of slope =80m

Potential energy possessed by the skier (positive work done) =12000J

Analysing his energy at half way point on the hill

Potential energy will be equal to kinetic energy

Applying the conservative principles of energy when the skier is at half way point in the hill

I.e

mgh= 1/2mv²

The masses will cancel out

gh=v²

Given g= 9.81m/s²

Let's solve for the velocity

v²=9.81*80

v=√784.8

v=28.0m/s

Now we can solve for the kinetic energy

KE= 1/2mv²

KE =1/2*60*28²

KE =47063.9/2

KE=23531.9J

Hence we can calculate the energy gained by the skier during his movement

Energy gained = KE-PE

= 23531.9-12000

= 11531.9J

Assoli18 [71]

A radar receiver indicates that a pulse return as an echo in 20 μs after it was sent. The reflecting object would be 3000 m away .

Phenomenon of hearing back our own sound is called an echo. It is due to successive reflection of sound waves from the surfaces or obstacles of large size. To hear an echo, there must be a time gap of 0.1 second in original sound and the reflected sound.

Given

time =  20 μs = 20 * 10^{-6} s

let distance to the reflecting surface be = x

total distance travelled by pulse will be  = 2x

speed = 3.0 × 10^{8} m/s

distance = speed * time

2x = 3.0 × 10^{8} * 20 * 10^{-6}

   x = 3000 m

The reflecting object would be 3000 m away

Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane
madam [21]

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

Compare the characteristics of 4d orbitals and 3d orbitals and compared the following sentences. Check all that apply
charle [14.2K]

Answer :

<em>(b) 4d orbitals would be larger in size than 3d orbitals</em>

<em>(e) 4d orbitals would have more nodes than 3d orbitals</em>

Explanation :

As we move away from one orbital to another, the distance between nucleus and orbital increases. So, 4d orbitals would be far to the nucleus than 3d orbitals.

Hence, 4d orbitals would be larger in size than 3d orbitals.

Number of nodes is any orbital is n - 1 where, n is principal quantum number.

So, number of orbital in 4d is 3.

And number of orbital in 3d is 2.

So, options (b) and (e) are correct.
