Hey! I empathize with you, as I just started the energy unit in physics as well!

Alright, lets list what we know, and which equation(s) we need.

PE = Gravitational Potential Energy

PEg = mgh

m = mass

g = gravity (9.8 m/s^2)

h = height

Guess what?

We need to find the height!

Lets make this more organized:

Known:

m = 40 kg

PE = 14000

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Unknown:

h = ?

================================

Now, if we take a look at the equation PEg = mgh, you will see that we have everything besides the height! So lets solve for the height by substituting in for the variables we know:

14000 J = 40 kg * (9.8 m/s^2) * h

40 * 9.8 = 392  

14000 J = 392 * h

14000/392 = h

35.71 m = h

There we go! If you simply list what you know and don't know, you will find the equation you need to solve the problem.

Have a great day and good luck!

DIA [1.3K]

The distance mirror M2 must be moved so that one wavelength has produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength is;

<u><em>L = 57.88 mm</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

We are given;

Wavelength 1; λ₁ = 589 nm = 589 × 10⁻⁹ m

Wavelength 2; λ₂ = 589.6 nm = 589.6 × 10⁻⁹ m

We are told that L₁ = L₂. Thus, we will adopt L.

Formula for the number of bright fringe shift is;

m = 2L/λ

Thus;

For Wavelength 1;

m₁ = 2L/(589 × 10⁻⁹)

For wavelength 2;

m₂ = 2L/(589.6)

Now, we are told that one wavelength must have produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength. Thus;

m₁ - m₂ = 2

Plugging in the values of m₁ and m₂ gives;

(2L/589) - (2L/589.6) = 2

divide through by 2 to get;

L[(1/589) - (1/589.6)] = 1

L(1.728 × 10⁻⁶) = 1

L = 1/(1.728 × 10⁻⁶)

L = 578790.67 nm

L = 57.88 mm

A 12.0 μF capacitor is charged to a potential of 50.0 V and then discharged through a 265 Ω resistor. A)How long does the capaci
larisa [96]

(a) The time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms.

(b) The time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its charge</h3>

q(t) = q₀e-^(t/RC)

q(t)/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5q₀/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5 = e-^(t/RC)

1/2 =  e-^(t/RC)

t/RC = ln(2)

t = RC x ln(2)

t = (12 x 10⁻⁶ x 265) x ln(2)

t = 2.2 x 10⁻³ s

t = 2.2 ms

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its stored energy</h3>

U(t) = Ue-^(t/RC)

U = ¹/₂Q²/C

(Ue-^(t/RC))²/2C = Q₀²/2Ce

e^(2t/RC) = e

2t/RC = 1

t = RC/2

t = (265 x 12 x 10⁻⁶)/2

t = 1.59 x 10⁻³ s

t = 1.59 ms

Thus, the time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms and the time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

The half-life of the reaction gets shorter as the initial concentration is increased. True or False
Art [367]

True

The half-life isn’t applicable to a first order reaction because it does not rely on the concentration of reactant present. However the 2nd order reaction is dependent on the concentration of the reactant present.

The relationship between the half life and the reactant is an inverse one.

The half life is usually reduced or shortened with an increase in the concentration and vice versa.

What is the formula of the compound between calcium and sulfur that has the percent composition 55.6?
Yanka [14]

CaS is the empirical formula of the compound between calcium and sulphur that has the percent composition 55.6.

When percentages are given, we take a total mass of 100 grams.

Therefore the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Ca = 55.6 g (given) of

S Mass = 44.4 g (100 - 55.6 = 44.4)

Step 1: Convert the given mass to moles.

moles Ca = given mass Ca / molar mass Ca

moles = 55.6 / 40 = 1.39 moles

mol S = specific mass S / molar mass S

mol = 44.4 / 32 = 1.39 mol

Step 2: Divide the molar ratio of each molar value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Ca = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

For S = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

The ratio of Ca : S = 1:1

Hence the empirical formula of the given compound will be CaS.
