3 0

Answer:

W = 14523.6 J

Explanation:

Given,

Mass = 3.9 Kg

Vertical height , h = 380 m

Work done against gravitational force

W = m g h

g is acceleration due to gravity

W = 3.9 x 9.8 x 380

W = 14523.6 J

Hence, the work done by the gravitational force is equal to W = 14523.6 J

If 1.34 ✕ 1020 electrons move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation, how many coulombs of charge moved throu
ioda

Given :

Number of operations move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation , n=1.34 \times 10^{20} .

To Find :

How many coulombs of charge moved through it .

Solution :

We know , charge in  one electron is :

e^-=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ coulombs

So , charge on n electron is :

C=e^-\times n\\C=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.34\times 10^{20} \ C\\C=-21.44\ C

Therefore , -21.44 coulombs of charge is moved through it .

Hence , this is the required solution .

A car is sitting still. It accelerates to a constant speed then it decelerates again to zero speed. While the car is acceleratin
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase

the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant  a direction opposite to the angular velocity

Explanation:

Acceleration and angular velocity are related to linear

           v = w xr

            a = αx r

The bold letters indicate vectors and the cross is a vector product, therefore if

we can see that the relationship between linear and angular variables is direct

therefore in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase as well as their linear counterparts

in the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant as the linear acceleration and must have a direction opposite to the angular velocity

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Modern telescopes are capable of seeing bright galaxies up to about 10000 millions light years away

Explanation:

A telescope is a tool that astronomers use to see faraway objects. Most telescopes work by using curved mirrors to gather and focus light from the night sky. The bigger the mirrors or lenses, the more light the telescope can gather.

Modern telescopes gather information from the electromagnetic spectrum far beyond the range of visible light.

The farthest bright galaxies, that the modern telescope is capable of seeing is 10000 millions light years away.

At which point in time does an object with the motion represented in the graph have an
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

4s.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that the instantaneous acceleration is computed via the change in the velocity divided by the change in the time, at 4 s we can evidence that the instantaneous acceleration is -2m/s² since the initial velocity at t=0s is 8m/s and at t=4s the velocity is 0 m/s, meaning that such decrease accounts for a deceleration process which is represented by a negative acceleration, and the value is:

a=\frac{0m/s-8m/s}{4s-0s}\\ \\a=-2m/s^2

Best regards.
