Mark has a mass of 55 kg and climbs up a short, steep trailbof length 300 m to reach the top of a 100 m tall cliff. Matthew, his

twin brother, walks up a gentle, winding trail of length 5000 m to reach the top of the same cliff. What is the potential energy of each boy at the top?

This is slightly a trick question.

Potential energy = Mass x gravity x height.

The problem gives us the mass (55kg) and his twin brother we can assume has the same mass (55kg).

It also gives us the height (100m) and acceleration from gravity = 9.81m/s

Write down short notes on:<br>a. Electrical energy​
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrical energy is energy derived from electric potential energy or kinetic energy.

Or,

Electrical energy is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge. Lightning, batteries and even electric eels are examples of electrical energy.People use electricity for lighting, heating, cooling, and refrigeration and for operating appliances, computers, electronics, machinery, and public transportation systems.

Hope it helped you.

A 55.0-g sample of hot metal initially at 99.5oC was added to 40.0 g of water in a Styrofoam coffee cup calorimeter. The water a
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

Explanation:

From energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = Heat gain by water +Heat gain by  calorimeter

Because here temperature of metal is high that is why it loose the heat.The temperature of water and  calorimeter is low that is why they gain the heat.

final temperature is T= 30.5 C

We know that sensible heat transfer given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

m=Mass

Cp=Specific heat capacity

ΔT=Temperature difference

By putting the values

55 x Cp ( 99.5 - 30.5) = 40 x 4.184 ( 30.5- 21 ) + 10 x ( 30.5 - 21)

Cp ( 99 .5- 30.5) = 30.65

Cp= 0.44 J/g.C

This is heat capacity of metal.

A honey bee flaps its wings 200 times per second. How much time is required for one wingbeat? Give your answer in milliseconds.
kakasveta [241]
A bees wings move so rapidly that studying them, even seeing them, has proved difficult.
The honeybees have a rapid wing beat honeybee flaps its wings 230 times every second.

Therefore, a bee flaps its wings over 200 times in about 1ms

The dark bands on the wall are from ______________ interference. and i will give brainlyest
Fittoniya [83]
Light can be seen as an electromagnetic wave.
What happens when two waves, with the same frequency, superpose is called interference.

If at a certain point two waves arrive both with a crest, we have constructive interference and the amplitudes sum up, reaching the maximum value, resulting in bright spots.

If at a certain point one of the waves arrives with a crest and the other wave arrives with a trough, we have destructive interference, and the two amplitudes cancel out, resulting in dark spots.

Therefore, t<span>he dark bands on the wall are from destructive interference.</span>

A metallic wire has a diameter of 4.12mm. When the current in the wire is 8.00A, the drift velocity is 5.40×10−5m/s.What is the
podryga [215]

Answer:

6.9\times 10^{28}m^{-3}

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of wire=d=4.12 mm

Radius of wire=rr=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4.12}{2}=2.06mm=2.06\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Current=I=8 A

Drift velocity=v_d=5.4\times 10^{-5} m/s

We have to find the density of free electrons in the metal

We know that

Density of electron=n=\frac{I}{v_deA}

Using the formula

Density of free electrons=\frac{8}{5.4\times 10^{-5}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.14\times (2.06\times 10^{-3})^2}

By using Area of wire=\pi r^2

\pi=3.14\\e=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

Density of free electrons=6.9\times 10^{28}m^{-3}
