Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

Convert 100°c into Faherenite and kelvin in steps.​
wel

Answer:

100°c = 373.15 K

100°C=212°F

Explanation:

  • Given the 100°C

To convert Celsius to Kelvin, we need the following equation.

°C + 273.15 = K

100°C + 273.15 = K

373.15 = K

Therefore, 100°c = 373.15 K

  • Celsius To Fahrenhite:

F = 9/5C + 32

   =9/5(100)+32

  = (180) + 32

  = 212°

Therefore,

100°C=212°F

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by ΔP = 2.9 × 10−5 cos (6.20x − 3 000
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters.

Explanation:

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by :

\Delta P=2.9\times 10^{-5}\ cos(6.2x-3000t)..............(1)

The general equation is given by :

\Delat P=P_o\ cos(kx-\omega t)...........(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) :

k=6.2

Since, k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=6.2

\lambda=1.01\ m

So, the wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = 6.62607015 \times 10^{-34}  J.s
