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.

the frequency of a beam of uv light is 1.0 ×10 ^15hz what is the energy in one quantum of this light express it in ev? ​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

4.14 eV

Explanation:

f = 1.0 ×10^15 Hz

h= 6.63×10^-34 J s (  this is called PLANCK 'S CONSTANT)

ENEGY = E = ?

E = hf  ( THIS IS FORMULA FOR ENERGY OF ONE QUANTA OR ONE PHOTON )

E= 6.63×10^-34×1.0 ×10^15

E = 6.63×10^-19 J

As 1eV = 1.6×10^-19 J so changing energy in eV from joules we will divide energy by 1.6×10^-19

hence E in eV = 6.63×10^-19/(1.6×10^-19)

          E = 4.14 eV

How long would it take a 4,560 watt motor to raise a 166 kg piano to an apartment window
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation here:

P = W/t where W is work and is defined as

W = F*displacement.

Force is a measure in Newtons, which is also weight. We have the mass of the piano, but we need to find the weight:

w = mg so

w = 166(9.8) so

w = 1600N, rounded to the correct number of sig dig. We use that now in the power equation:

4560=\frac{(1600)(15)}{t} and isolating the unknown:

t=\frac{(1600)(15)}{4560} so

t = 5.3 seconds

Please help me with this question
valkas [14]

Answer: m∠P ≈ 46,42°

because using the law of sines in ΔPQR

=> sin 75°/ 4 = sin P/3

so ur friend is wrong due to confusion between edges

+) we have: sin 75°/4 = sin P/3

=> sin P = sin 75°/4 . 3 = (3√6 + 3√2)/16

=> m∠P ≈ 46,42°

When turning a magnet very quickly would be BEST used to create A) radiation. B) light waves. C) an electric current. D) a conve
Gre4nikov [31]

the correct choice is

C) an electric current.

as a magnet is turned quickly relative to a coil, the magnetic flux linked with coil varies due to variation of angle of direction of magnetic field with normal to the plane of coil. the coil resist this change of magnetic flux in it by inducing emf in it so as to nullify the variation in magnetic flux. Due to this induced emf , electric current flows through the coil.
