Suppose you lift a 20 kg box by a height of 1.0 m.

2 answers:

8 0

Answer: The work done in lifting something is W=mgh where m is the mass of the objet, g is the gravity acceleration and h is the height, this work is done because you are "fighting" against the force of gravity.

so in this case we have W = 20kg*9.8m/s*1m= 196N

W=mgh W=(20)(9.8)(1) w=196J

Calculate earth's mass given the acceleration due to gravity at the north pole is 9.830 m/s2 and the mean radius of the earth at

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: $M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

Explanation:

We know that force acting on an object due to Earth's gravity on the surface is given by:

$mg = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}\\ \Rightarrow g = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, r would be radius of Earth, M is the mass of Earth and G is the gravitational constant.

It is given that at pole, g = 9.830 m/s² and r = 6371 km = 6371 × 10³ m

$\Rightarrow M = \frac{g\times r^2}{G}$

$M = \frac{9.830 m/s^2 \times (6371 \times 10^3 m )^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow M = 5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

Hence, Earth's mass is $5.98\times 10^{24} kg$

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency?

Likurg_2 [28]

Explanation:

As we know that relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

E = $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. So, more is the energy of an electromagnetic radiation less will be its wavelength.

Also, f = $\frac{c}{\lambda}$

Hence, less will be the wavelength more will frequency of a radiation.

Gamma rays are the rays that have highest energy, small wavelength and highest frequency.

Thus, we can conclude that gamma rays are the electromagnetic radiation which has the highest frequency.

Generally, weather patterns in the U.S. move _____.

blagie [28]

West to east.

The earth is spinning on its own axis. Thus, the area of the equator directly hit by the sun's heat and more solar radiation compared to any other area. That same heat warmth the atmosphere. Warm air rises towards the pole which is cooler. This is the reason of constant movement of the atmosphere.

The Coriolis force governed the air flows towards the pole. While the earth is spinning plus the movement of air north or south, the air follows a <span>curved path, toward the east.</span>
