Finding the work done in pulling a stranded climber to safety. In an unfortunate accident, a rock climber finds herself stuck 17

m from the top of a 80 m rock face. Rescuers sent to help the climber lower a harness attached to a cable that will pull the climber to the top of the rock face. If the climber, secured in the harness, weighs 56 kg and the cable weighs 0.7kgm, how much work is done in raising the climber, harness, and cable to the top of the rock face? Note: the weight of the climber and cable is really a mass so you will need to multiply the mass in kg by the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8ms2).

Answer:

-9446.22 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of climber and harness = 56kg

Mass of cable = 0.7kg

Distance between climber and top of rock face = 17m

The work done in pulling the climber is given as:

W = F * d

F is the force applied on the rope. It is opposite the force of gravity pulling the climber, hence, it is given as:

F = -Fg

Fg = force of gravity

Fg = m * g

g = acceleration due to gravity.

The mass of the climber, harness and cable = 56 + 0.7 = 56.7kg

=> Fg = 56.7 * 9.8

Fg = 555.66 N

Therefore, the work done will be:

W = - 555.66 * 17

W = -9446.22 J

The negative value of work means that the work done is opposite the value of the force acting on the climber.

In an electron cloud, an electron farther east away from the nucleus has?
vladimir2022 [97]

An electron that is far away from the nucleus have higher energy than an electron near the nucleus. Nucleus are positively charged and those electrons near it get attracted; those electrons gain kinetic energy hence reducing their internal energy. The electrons far from nucleus have low kinetic energy hence more internal energy.

The wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum that corresponds to m = 5 in the Balmer equation is: A. 656 nm. B. 4
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum is 434 nm.

Explanation:

It is given that, the wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum that corresponds to n₂ = 5 in the Balmer equation.

For Balmer series, the wave number is given by :

\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_1^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_2^2})

R is the Rydberg's constant

For Balmer series, n₁ = 2. So,

\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=1.097\times 10^7\times (\dfrac{1}{2^2}-\dfrac{1}{5^2})

\lambda=4.34\times 10^{-7}\ m

or

\lambda=434\ nm

So, the wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum is 434 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Neon signs use electricity to ____ electrons
Romashka [77]
Neon light recharge them self with more light and electricity, they rapidly give out the energy they absorbed to get themselves back to normal again. They do this by giving out tiny packets of light energy called photons. I;m not sure if this helps but you gave no info really on what you were asking like if there were choices that would have been helpful to see :p

How does radiation differ from conduction? (4 points)
mario62 [17]
The difference between radiation and conduction is that radiation is described as he transfer of heat energy by electromagnetic waves without involving particles. Conduction is described as the flow of heat from one solid to another, using a hot knife as an example.

A body builder loads a bar with 550 newtons (~125 pounds) of weight and pushes the bar over her head 10 times. Each time she lif
Neporo4naja [7]

Work = (force) x (distance)

 (550 newtons) x (0.5 meter) = 275 joules each lift .

 (275 joules/lift) x (10 lifts)  =  2,750 joules of work all together.


Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

           = (2,750 joules) / (20 seconds)

           =    137.5 watts .        (about 0.18 horsepower)
