539000J


PE = mgh


PE = 500kg * 9.8m/s * 110m


PE = 539000J

A man has 887.5 J of kinetic energy while running with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is his mass?
monitta

Answer:

The mass of the man is 71 kg

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the man, K.E = 887.5 J

velocity of the man, v = 5 m/s

The mass of the man is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is the mass of the man

2K.E = mv²

m = 2K.E / v²

m = (2 x 887.5) / (5)²

m = 71 kg

Therefore, the mass of the man is 71 kg

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, \lambda = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

A_{m} = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}

sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m

What is the correct equation for calculating the average atomic mass for 3 isotopes? (pls be 100%of your answer pls no guessing)
mariarad [96]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The correct equation for measuring the average microscopic weight  for 3 isotopes is multiply the rate of abundance by each weight and add them.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the average microscopic mass of element using weights and relative abundance we have to follow the following steps.

  • Take the correct weight of each isotope (that will be in decimal form)
  • Multiply the weight of each isotope by its abundance
  • Add each of the results together.

<em>This gives the required  average microscopic weight of the three isotopes.</em>

A wave will "break" because ________. a wave will "break" because ________. the sediment load of water is greater near the shore
vodka [1.7K]
A wave will "break" because the bottom interferes with its oscillatory motion. Breaking of waves may occur anywhere that the amplitude is sufficient, including in mid-ocean. When waves enter shallow water they break because the motion of water in lower part of the wave nearest the bottom is slowed by friction so that their oscillation is faster than its supporting portion at the bottom. Thus, the wave collapses forward and breaks.
