Calculate the G.P.E. in joules of a 675-newton climber at the top of a 3,050-meter mountain in Colorado.

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster. Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.

An aircraft with a mass of 10,000 kg starts from rest at sea level and takes off, then flies to a cruising speed of 620 km/h and

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of aircraft = 10000 kg

Speed = 620 km/h = 172.22 m/s

Altitude = 10 km = 1000 m

We calculate the change in potential energy

$\Delta P.E=mg(h_{2}-h_{1})$

$\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times(10000-0)$

$\Delta P.E=10000\times9.8\times10000$

$\Delta P.E=980000000\ J$

$\Delta P.E=980\ MJ$

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in potential energy will be 1000 MJ.

We calculate the change in kinetic energy

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)$

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2-0^2)$

$\Delta K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10000\times(172.22^2)$

$\Delta K.E=148298642\ J$

$\Delta K.E=148.3\ MJ$

For g = 10 m/s²,

The change in kinetic energy will be 150 MJ.

Hence, The change in potential energy and kinetic energy are 980 MJ and 148.3 MJ.

Suppose 3 mol of neon (an ideal monatomic gas) at STP are compressed slowly and isothermally to 0.19 the original volume. The ga

Radda [10]

Answer:

a. 273 K b. 90.1 K c. 5.26 atm d. 0.33 atm

Explanation:

For isothermal expansion PV = constant

So, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ where P₁ = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm (standard pressure), V₁ = initial volume of gas, P₂ = final pressure of gas and V₂ = final volume of gas,

So, P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

Since V₂/V₁ = 0.19,

P₂ = P₁V₁/V₂

P₂ = 1 atm (1/0.19)

P₂ = 5.26 atm

For an adiabatic expansion, PVⁿ = constant where n = ratio of molar heat capacities = 5/3 for monoatomic gas

So, P₂V₂ⁿ = P₃V₃ⁿ where P₂ = initial pressure of gas = 5.26 atm, V₂ = initial volume of gas, P₃ = final pressure of gas and V₃ = final volume of gas,

So, P₂V₂ⁿ = P₃V₃ⁿ

P₃ = P₂V₂ⁿ/V₃ⁿ

P₃ = P₂(V₂/V₃)ⁿ

Since V₃ = V₁ ,V₂/V₃ = V₂/V₁ = 0.19

1/0.19,

P₃ = P₂(V₂/V₃)ⁿ

P₃ = 5.26 atm (0.19)⁽⁵/³⁾

P₃ = 5.26 atm × 0.0628

P₃ = 0.33 atm

Using the ideal gas equation

P₃V₃/T₃ = P₄V₄/T₄ where P₃ = pressure after adiabatic expansion = 0.33 atm , V₃ = volume after adiabatic expansion, T₃ = temperature after adiabatic expansion P₄ = initial pressure of gas = P₁ = 1 atm , V₄ = initial volume of gas = V₁ and T₄ = initial temperature of gas = T₁ = 273 K (standard temperature)

P₃V₃/T₃ = P₄V₄/T₄

T₃ = P₃V₃T₄/P₄V₄

T₃ = (P₃/P₄)(V₃/V₄)T₂

Since V₃ = V₄ = V₁ and P₄ = P₁

V₃/V₄ = 1 and P₃/P₄ = P₃/P₁

T₃ = (P₃/P₁)(V₃/V₄)T₂

T₃ = (0.33 atm/1 atm)(1)273 K

T₃ = 90.1 K

So,

a. The highest temperature attained by the gas is T₁ = 273 K

b. The lowest temperature attained by the gas = T₃ = 90.1 K

c. The highest pressure attained by the gas is P₂ = 5.26 atm

d. The lowest pressure attained by the gas is P₃ = 0.33 atm

What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire

zzz [600]

You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".

A. How does the speed of light in a vacuum change when observed from two different frames of reference?

anyanavicka [17]

a) It is absolute, so it does not change.

b) Inertial ones.

c) Inside the train the time will slow down relatively to the outside clock. So if one travel at nearly the speed if light for 2 hours on his clock, for outdoor observers it will look like 3 hours.
