She can climb 0.92 m without losing weight.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy is the energy consisting of the product of mass, gravity and height.

1 cal = 4184 J

140 cal = 585760 J

Energy = 585760 J,  m = 65.0 kg = 65000 g,   Efficiency = 20 %

                                  GPE = mgh

where m represents the mass

           g represents the gravity,

           h represents the height.

                             585760 = 65000  9.8  h

                                        h = 0.92 m.

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced
Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

p=mv (2)

From eq.(1) we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}

and substituting into (2),

p=\sqrt{2mK}

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

K' = 8K

- The mass is reduced by half:

m'=\frac{m}{2}

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.

The work done by an external force to move a -8.50 μC charge from point a to point b is 6.10×10−4 J . If the charge was started
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

-54.12 V

Explanation:

The work done by this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the energy. Since the charge starts from the rest its initial kinetic energy is zero.

W=\Delta E\\W=\Delta K+\Delta U\\W=K_f+\Delta U\\\Delta U=W-K_f\\\Delta U=6.10*10^{-4}J-1.50*10^{-4}J\\\Delta U=4.60*10^{-4}J

The change in electrostatic potential energy \Delta U, of one point charge q is defined as the product of the charge and the potential difference.

\Delta U=qV\\V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}\\V=\frac{4.60*10^{-4}J}{-8.50*10^{-6}C}\\V=-54.12 V

A defibrillator is used during a heart attack to restore the heart to its normal beating pattern. A defibrillator passes 18 A of
miskamm [114]

Answer:

q = 0.036 C

Explanation:

Given that,

Current passes through a defibrillator, I = 18 A

Time, t = 2 ms

We need to find the charge moved during this time. We know that,

Electric current = charge/time

q=It

Put all the values,

q=18\times 0.002\\\\q=0.036\ C

So, 0.036 C of charge moves during this time.
