Gravitional potential energy = mass x acceleration of gravity x height differences

GPE = 4 x 9,8 x (1,4 - 1,2)
GPE = 4 x 9,8 x 0.2 = 7,84

Answer:

ΔU=7.84 J  : Potential energy added to the vase

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:

U = m * g * h

U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)

m: mass in kg

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

h: height in m

Equivalences

1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²

1 J = N × m

Known data

m = 4kg

g=9.8 m/s²

h₁=1,2 m

h₂=1.4m

Problem development

Potential energy added to the vase =ΔU

ΔU: Potential energy change

ΔU = U₂ - U₁

ΔU = m*g*h₂ - m*g*h₁

ΔU = m*g*(h₂ - h₁)

ΔU = 4*9.8*(1.4 – 1.2)

ΔU=39.2*(0.2) ΔU=7.84 J  : Potential energy added to the vase

Public television station KQED in San Francisco broadcasts a sinusoidal radio signal at a power of 777 kW. Assume that the wave
ehidna [41]

Answer:

A) P = 3.3 × 10^(-11) Pa

B) Amplitude of electric field = 1.931 N/C

Amplitude of magnetic field = 6.44 × 10^(-9) T

C) μ_av = 1.65 × 10^(-11) J/m³

D) 50% each for the electric and magnetic field

Explanation:

A) First of all let's calculate intensity.

I = P_av/A

We are given;

P_av = 777 KW = 777,000 W

Distance = 5 km = 5000 m

Thus;

I = 777000/(2π × 5000²)

I = 0.00495 W/m²

Now, the average pressure would be given by the formula;

P = 2I/C

Where C is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

P = (2 × 0.00495)/(3 × 10^(8))

P = 3.3 × 10^(-11) Pa

B) Formula for the amplitude of the electric field is gotten from;

E_max = √[2I/(εo•c)].

Where εo is the Permittivity of free space with a constant value of 8.85 × 10^(−12) c²/N.mm²

I and c remain as before.

Thus;

E_max = √[(2 × 0.00495)/(8.85 × 10^(−12) × 3 × 10^(8))]

E_max = √3.72881355932

E_max = 1.931 N/C

Formula for amplitude of magnetic field is gotten from;

B_max = E_max/c

B_max = 1.931/(3 × 10^(8))

B_max = 6.44 × 10^(-9) T

C) Formula for average density is;

μ_av = εo(E_rms)²

Now, E_rms = E_max/√2

Thus;

E_rms = 1.931/√2

μ_av = 8.85 × 10^(−12) × (1.931/√2)²

μ_av = 1.65 × 10^(-11) J/m³

D) The energy density for the electric and magnetic field is the same. So both of them will have 50% of the energy density.

The amount of energy lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy is about _______. a. 10% b. 50%
Sophie [7]

The amount of energy lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy is about 90%.

There are a total of 4 trophic levels.

The producers which bare plants represent the first trophic level. Herbivores represent the second trophic level. Carnivores represent the third trophic level. Top carnivores represent the fourth trophic level.

The 10 % rule is followed by the energy flow in a food chain. It means that moving from one trophic level to another, only 10% of energy is transferred and the rest is lost in the atmosphere.

So the 90% percent energy is lost at the transition between each trophic level of the pyramid of energy.
