<span>In 1964, while experimenting with the Holmdel Horn Antenna, which was used as a radio telescope, Penzias and Wilson accidentally discovered the microwave background radiation that exists universally. The Holmdel Horn Antenna was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" as opposed to the "Steady State Theory".</span>

What height would a 4 kg book need to be to have a potential energy of
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

5.99 m  = 6 m

Explanation:

PE = m*g*h

235.2 J = (4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(h)

h = (235.2 J)/(9.81*4)

h = 5.99 m

h = 6 m

A solenoid with 3,000.0 turns is 70.0 cm long. If its self-inductance is 25.0 mH, what is 5) its radius? (The value of o is 4 ×
Elan Coil [88]
The self-inductance of a solenoid is given by:
L= \frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{l}
where
\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability
N is the number of turns
A is the cross-sectional area of the solenoid
l is the length of the solenoid

For the solenoid in our problem, N=3000, l=70.0 cm=0.70 m and the self-inductance is L=25.0 mH=0.025 H, therefore the cross-sectional area is
A= \frac{Ll}{\mu N^2}= \frac{(0.025 H)(0.70 m)}{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7}N/A^2)(3000)^2}= 1.55 \cdot 10^{-3}m^2
And since the area is related to the radius by
A=\pi r^2
The radius of the solenoid is
r= \sqrt{ \frac{A}{\pi} } = \sqrt{ \frac{1.55 \cdot 10^{-3} m^2}{\pi} } =0.022 m=2.2 cm

The ​food calorie, ​equal to 4186 J, is a measure of how much energy is released when the body metabolizes food. A certain energ
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) 919 m

b) 183.8 m

Explanation:

140 calories = 140 * 4186 J/calorie = 586040 J

a)When the hiker climbs a mountain, this energy is converted to potential energy, which has the following formula

P = mgh

where m = 65 kg is the mass, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height that he climbs

586040 = 65*9.81h

h = 586040 / (65*9.81) = 919 m

b) If only 20% of food energy goes into mechanical energy, then the actual potential energy is

586040 * 0.2 = 117208

Similarly, the height that he could climbs is

h = 117208 / (65*9.81) = 183.8 m
