Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
1. a. longitudinal waves.
There are two types of waves:
- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.
So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.
2. d. a medium
There are two types of waves:
- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)
- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium
3. a. AM/FM radio
Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.
Answer:
The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%
Explanation:
Let V be the total volume of the iceberg
Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged
According to Archimedes principle,
weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)
Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g
Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g
We then have
ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g
(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%
Hope this Helps!!!!
Explanation:
(a) For an isothermal process, work done is represented as follows.
W = 
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
W =
= 
= 
= 
= 29596.78 J
or, = 29.596 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Therefore, the required work is 29.596 kJ.
(b) For an adiabatic process, work done is as follows.
W = 
= 
= 
= 49.41 kJ
Therefore, work required to produce the same compression in an adiabatic process is 49.41 kJ.
(c) We know that for an isothermal process,
or, 
= 
= 11 atm
Hence, the required pressure is 11 atm.
(d) For adiabatic process,
or, 
= 
= 28.7 atm
Therefore, required pressure is 28.7 atm.
Because they built:different
