A 0.5 kg squirrel climbs a 75.0 m tall vertical maple tree. What must the squirrel’s average speed be in order to match the powe

Answer:

Squirrel’s average speed = 277.78 m/s

Explanation:

Power of squirrel = 100 W

Mass of squirrel = 0.5 kg

Height climbed = 75 m

Potential energy = mgh = 0.5 x 9.81 x 75 = 367.875 J

We have

        \texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Work}}{\texttt{Time}}

Substituting

       100=\frac{367.875}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Time}=0.27s

So squirrel need to cover 75 m in 0.27 s

Speed required

        v=\frac{75}{0.27}=277.78m/s

Squirrel’s average speed = 277.78 m/s

Which statement best explains the relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between t
spin [16.1K]
Unfortunately, the given statements are missing from the problem. However, we can still determine the relationship between the electric force between two objects and the distance between them. The formula for the electric force is given below:

F = (k*Q1*Q2)/d^2

k is a constant, while Q1 and Q2 are the respective charges of the objects. F is force, while d is distance.

As seen in the formula, we can see that the electric force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Fermi energy of conduction electrons in silver is 0.548 J. Calculate the number of such electrons in unit cm3
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

n=1.86*10^{-30}m^3

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Fermi energy of conduction electrons E_f=0.548J

Generally the equation for Fermi energy is mathematically given by

 E_f=\frac{3}{\pi}^2/3*\frac{h^2}{8m}*{n^{2/3}}

 E_f=\frac{3}{\pi}^2/3*\frac{h^2}{8m}*{n^{2/3}}

 {n^{2/3}}=\frac{E_f}{\frac{3}{\pi}^2/3*\frac{h^2}{8m}}

Where

h= Planck's constant

 {n^{2/3}}=\frac{E_f}{\frac{3}{\pi}^2/3*\frac{h^2}{8m}}

 {n^{2/3}}=\frac{0.548J}{3.62*10^{-19}}

 n=(1.51*10^{-20})^{3/2}

 n=1.86*10^{-30}m^3

You have a stopped pipe of adjustable length close to a taut 62.0 cmcm, 7.25 gg wire under a tension of 4710 NN. You want to adj
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

6 cm long

Explanation:

F = 4110N

Vo(speed of sound) = 344m/s

Mass = 7.25g = 0.00725kg

L = 62.0cm = 0.62m

Speed of a wave in string is

V = √(F / μ)

V = speed of the wave

F = force of tension acting on the string

μ = mass per unit density

F(n) = n (v / 2L)

L = string length

μ = mass / length

μ = 0.00725 / 0.62

μ = 0.0116 ≅ 0.0117kg/m

V = √(F / μ)

V = √(4110 / 0.0117)

v = 592.69m/s

Second overtone n = 3 since it's the third harmonic

F(n) = n * (v / 2L)

F₃ = 3 * [592.69 / (2 * 0.62)

F₃ = 1778.07 / 1.24 = 1433.927Hz

The frequency for standing wave in a stopped pipe

f = n (v / 4L)

Since it's the first fundamental, n = 1

1433.93 = 344 / 4L

4L = 344 / 1433.93

4L = 0.2399

L = 0.0599

L = 0.06cm

L = 6cm

The pipe should be 6 cm long
