Answer:

14.4kJ

Explanation:

Work = Force x distance

W × h = mgh

Given that,

mass m, = 59.5kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

height ,h = 16.2cm

convert to m is 0.162m

How much work = m x g x h

height is 0.162 x 152 steps

h = 24.624m

work = 59.5 x 9.8 x 24.624

= 14,358.25Joule

= 14.4kJ

You place a light bulb 8 cm in front of a concave mirror. You then move a sheet of paper back and forth in front of the mirror.

sorry - late reply...just stumbled across tis...hope u can still use it :)


By the mirror equation: 1/di + 1/do = 1/f

<span>
</span>

<span>where di = distance to image = +12cm (+ for real image)</span>


and do = distance to object = +8cm


Substitute and solve for f, the focal length

<span><span>
1/12 + 1/8 = 1/f
</span><span>
1/f = (8 + 12) / 12 * 8 = 20/96
</span><span>
so f = 96/20 = 4.8 cm</span>

What are the units, if any, of the particle in a box wavefunction. What does this mean?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

  • [\psi]= [Length^{-3/2}]
  • This means that the integral of the square modulus over the space is dimensionless.

Explanation:

We know that the square modulus of the wavefunction integrated over a volume gives us the probability of finding the particle in that volume. So the result of the integral

\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} \int\limits^{yf}_{y_0} \int\limits^{z_f}_{z_0} |\psi|^2 \, dz \,  dy \,  dx

must be dimensionless, as represents a probability.

As the differentials has units of length

[dx]=[dy]=[dz]=[Length]

for the integral to be dimensionless, the units of the square modulus of the wavefunction has to be:

[\psi]^2 = [Length^{-3}]

taking the square root this gives us :

[\psi] = [Length^{-3/2}]

Is V directly proportional to I (From V=IR)??<br>Or is V inversely proportional to I (From P=IV) ???
ziro4ka [17]

First of all, I is proportional V according to the Ohm's Law. R is merely a constant you need to obtain an equation. However, it is true that R changes with temperature and pressure, therefore Ohm's Law is only applicable in an invariable environment. Also this constant R is different for different materials.

So, do not get confused.

Ohm's law is not a universal law, please remember that as well. Some materials do not follow it and we call them non-ohmic conductors. I hope I helped! ^-^
