Answer:

The energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the UVC light, λ = 142.9 nm = 142.9 x 10⁻⁹ m

The energy of one photon of the UVC light is given by;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

f is frequency of the light

f = c / λ

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ  is wavelength

substitute in the value of f into the main equation;

E = hf

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{142.9*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 1.391*10^{-18} \ J

Therefore, the energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

Lake point tower in chicago is the tallest apartment building in the united states. suppose you take the elevator from street le
notka56 [123]

Using the idea of work done under gravity, the height of the building is 187 m.

<h3>Work done in a gravitational field</h3>

We must recall that the work done in a gravitational field is given by; mgh

m= mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

mass = 60.0 kg

Workdone = 1.15x10^5 J

W = mgh

h = W/mg

h =  1.15x10^5 J/60.0 kg * 9.8 ms-2

h = 187 m

A clay vase on a potter's wheel experiences an angular acceleration of 5.69 rad/s2 due to the application of a 16.0-n m net torq
Digiron [165]
The equivalent of the Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
\tau = I \alpha
where
\tau is the net torque acting on the object
I is its moment of inertia
\alpha is the angular acceleration of the object.

Re-arranging the formula, we get
I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system, \tau=16.0 Nm, and its angular acceleration, \alpha = 5.69 rad/s^2, we can calculate the moment of inertia of the system:
I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}= \frac{16.0 Nm}{5.69 rad/s^2} =2.81 kg m^2

The Olympic record for a marathon is 2.00 hour 9.00 minute 21.0 seconds if the average speed of the runner achieving this record
iren2701 [21]
(2.00 hours) x (3,600 seconds/hour)  =  7,200 seconds

(9.00 minutes) x (60 seconds/minute)  =  540 seconds

The record time = (7,200 + 540 + 21) = 7,761 seconds

Distance  =  (speed) x (time)

                 = (5.436 m/s) x (7,761 sec)  =<span>  42,188.8 meters
________________________________________________
</span>
The official length of the marathon run is  42,195 meters.
If we divide that by the record time in the question, we get

                       5.4368... m/s .

Rounded to the nearest thousandth, that's  5.437 m/s.

If the question had given the speed as  5.437  instead of  5.436 ,
then we would have calculated the distance to be 

            (5.437 m/s) x (7,761 sec)  =<span>  42,196.6 meters,

4.6 meters closer to the official distance than the answer we did get.
