A. Direction

Speed is just distance divided by time, but velocity is displacement divided by time and displacement has direction. Speed will always be positive, but velocity can be either positive or negative.

Leto [7]

Answer:

0.24 kg used up

Explanation:

He has a mass of 67 kg

The gravitational constant is 9.81 m/s^2

The distance upward is 3500 m

W = m*g*h

W = 67 * 9.81 * 3500

Work = 2,300,445 Joules

Work = 2300 kj

work = 2.30 * 10^6 joules in scientific notation.

Part B

He needs 4 times this amount to climb the mountain because the body is only 25% efficient in converting energy.

4*2.30 * 10^6 = 9.20 * 10^6 Joules of energy are therefore required.

The total amount in a kg of fat = 3.8 * 10^7 joules

x kg of fat is needed to provide 9.20.*10^6 joules

1 kg / (3.8 * 10^7 J ) = x kg / (9.20 * 10^6 J)

9.20 * 10 ^6 * 1 = 3.8 * 10^7 *x

9.20 * 10 ^6 / 3.8 * 10^7 = x

x = 0.24 kg of fat are needed

A particle moves in a velocity field V(x, y) = x2, x + y2 . If it is at position (x, y) = (7, 2) at time t = 3, estimate its loc
MArishka [77]

Answer:

New location at time 3.01 is given by: (7.49, 2.11)

Explanation:

Let's start by understanding what is the particle's velocity (in component form) in that velocity field at time 3:

V_x=x^2=7^2=49\\V_y=x+y^2=7+2^2=11

With such velocities in the x direction and in the y-direction respectively, we can find the displacement in x and y at a time 0.01 units later by using the formula:

distance=v\,*\, t

distance_x=49\,(0.01)=0.49\\distance_y=11\,(0.01)=0.11

Therefore, adding these displacements in component form to the original particle's position, we get:

New position: (7 + 0.49, 2 + 0.11) = (7.49, 2.11)

The voltage across the diode indicates the energy given to charge carriers (electrons and holes, but more about that later in th
Elis [28]

Answer:

the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy in a diode is conserved so the energy supplied must be equal to the energy emitted in the form of photons.

The energy of a photon is given by the Planck expression

             E = h f

the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are related

             c = λ f

we substitute

             E = \frac{h \ c}{\lambda}

a red photon has a wavelength of lam = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

we calculate the energy

              E = 6.626 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸/700 10⁻⁹

              E = 2.8397 10⁻¹⁹J

therefore the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J,
