4 0

We use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of by passing a light through various chemical elements, different spectral patterns are created. By matching those patterns up to patterns generated in a laboratory environment we can tell what the composition of a distant star or planet is.

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10^-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exert

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

a) The flea's speed when it leaves the ground is $v=1.88m/s$

b) The flea move $18cm$ upward while it is pushing off

Explanation:

<u>Knwons</u>

Mass $m=2.1\times 10^{-4} kg$ , Work $W=3.7\times 10^{-4} J$ and Force $F=0.41N$

a) Here we are going to use $W=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$ , so $v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} }= \sqrt{\frac{2(3.7\times 10^{-4} J)}{2.1\times 10^{-4} kg} }=1.88m/s$

a) Here we are going to use $W=mgh$ , so $h=\frac{W}{mg}= \frac{3.7\times 10^{-4} J}{(2.1\times 10^{-4} kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0,1797m$ or $18cm$ approx.

A 73.0 kg firefighter climbs a flight of stairs 9.0 m high. how much work is required? j

pshichka [43]

The strength of the fireman in vertical direction will be given by F = m * g. Then, the work done will be given by definition by W = F * d. Substituting the expression of the Force in that of the work, we have that the work will be W = m * g * d. Substituting the given values and assuming that g = 10m / s ^ 2, we have a total work of W = (73) * (10) * (9) = 6570 J
