You are given the mass of the book with an initial height of 0.77m. You are also given the final height of the book, 2m above the floor. The problem requires you to find the work done on the book. It is said that work is equal to force times distance. And that force is equal to mass times acceleration due to gravity.
W=Fd
W=mgd=mgh
W=(1.7kg)(9.8m/s^2)(2m-0.77m)
W=20.49J
<span>The work is equal to 20.49J.</span>

Answer: Search Results

Featured snippet from the web

Answer: Surface waves can have characteristics of both longitudinal and transverse waves in the following way; The motion of the surface waves is up and down which is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This is similar to the motion of transverse waves whereas the the motion of longitudinal.

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

E=eV

e is charge of electron

E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4

E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is 8\times 10^{-15}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
