A boulder with a weight of 780 N is resting at the edge of a cliff that rises 123 m above the ground. What is the gravitational

potential energy of the boulder?

Potential energy U = mgh

Given h = 123 m,
mg = F = 780 N

Then
U = (123)(780)
= 95940
= 9.59 x 10^4

How Does Earth's gravitational force field act on objects that aren't touching Earth's surface?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity is a field force since the earth does not have to actually “touch” an object to pull it toward the earth. A magnetic force is a field force that attracts or repels another magnet. Likewise, electric charges cause attracting or repelling forces without actual contact between the charges

In the photoelectric effect, a photon with an energy of 5.3 × 10–19 J strikes an electron in a metal. Of this energy, 3.6 × 10–1

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The velocity of the photo electron is $6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Supplied energy, $E_s=5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Minimum energy of the electron to escape from the metal, $E_e=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J$

We need to find the velocity of the photo electron. The energy supplied by the photon is equal to the sum of minimum escape energy and the kinetic energy of the escaping electron. So,

$5.3\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.6\times 10^{-19}\ J+K\\\\K=5.3\times 10^{-19}-3.6\times 10^{-19}\\\\K=1.7\times 10^{-19}\ J$

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2K}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.7\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the photo electron is $6.11\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

Lilit [14]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

we need the tea to be at first moist in order to get much more flavor. then supersaturated so that it increases the concentration of the flavor by it not being too sweet nor too salty. so just right.
