after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height

of 1.25 meters while you are piling the snow in your yard. how much work did you do?

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

       (mass) x (gravity) x (height)  joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

         (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

           (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do.  When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel.  All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.

No two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers' is
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

D. Pauli's exclusion principle

Explanation:

<em>A. Newton's laws</em> are related to the motion, they state that "Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it", "  Force equals mass times acceleration." and "  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"  

<em>B. Bohr's law </em>depicts an atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons. These electrons travel in circular orbits around the nucleus.  

<em>C. Aufbau principle</em>, also called the building-up principle or the aufbau rule, states that in the ground state of an atom or ion, electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels  

<em>D. Pauli's exclusion principle</em> states that <em>no two fermions (e.g., electrons) in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers,</em> hence they have to "pile up" or "build up" into higher energy levels.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A tourist drops (from rest) a ping pong ball from the top of the tower, which has a height of 324 meters. Assuming no air resist
Elanso [62]

Answer:

8.13secs

Explanation:

From the question weal are given

Height H =324m

Required

time it takes to drop t

Using the equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

324 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 4.9t²

t² =324/4.9

t² = 66.12

t = √66.12

t = 8.13secs

Hence the time taken to drop is 8.13secs
