A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the

vertical.part aby how much has the gravitational potential energy of the ball changed?

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m.

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the formula of Gravitational Potential Energy as follows:

$\large {\boxed {E_p = mgh }$

<em>Ep = Gravitational Potential Energy ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>g = Gravitational Acceleration ( m )</em>

<em>h = Height ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

mass of wrecking ball = m = 1400 kg

length of the cable = L = 20 m

angle with the vertical = θ = 30.0°

<u>Asked:</u>

gravitational potential energy = Ep = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$Ep = m g h$

$Ep = m g (L - L\cos \theta)$

$Ep = 1400 ( 9.8 ) ( 20 - 20 \cos 30^o )$

$Ep = 13720 ( 20 - 10\sqrt{3} )$

$Ep \approx 37000 \texttt{ J}$

The gravitational potential energy of the ball changes by about

37000 J

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?

serg [7]

Answer: $6.268(10)^{-16}J$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron $K_{e}$ is given by the following equation:

$K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}$ (1)

Where:

$K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}$

$p_{e}$ is the momentum of the electron

$m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg$ is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find $p_{e}$ :

$p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}$ (2)

$p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}$

$p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}$ (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron $\lambda_{e}$ with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}$ (4)

Where:

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of $p_{e}$ found in (3) for equation (4):

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}$

$\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m$ (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon $\lambda_{p}$ is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

$\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m$ (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon $E_{p}$ using the following equation:

$E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}$ (7)

Where $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ is the spped of light in vacuum

$E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}$

Finally:

$E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J$

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

avriage force F = 2722.5 N

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Newton's second law, to calculate the average force and acceleration we can find it by kinematics.

vf² = v₀² - 2 ax

The final carriage speed is zero (vf = 0)

0 = v₀² - 2ax

a = v₀² / 2x

a = 1.1²/(2 0.200)

a = 3.025 m / s²

a = 3.0 m/s²

We calculate the average force

F = ma

F = 900 3,025

F = 2722.5 N

Expansion work against constant external pressure: w=-pex Δ Δ V 3. The attempt at a solution . I tried following that. Because Vf>>Vi, and Vf=nRT/pex, then w=-pex x nRT/pex=-nRT (im assuming n is number of moles of CO2?). 1 mole of CaCO3 makes 1 mole of CO2, so plugging in numbers, I get 8.9kJ, although I dont use the 1 atm pressure at all
