A girl standing on a floor would have two opposite forces acting on it. These forces are the weight and the normal force. Since no other forces are acting and that the girl is at rest, then the weight must equate to the normal force. Therefore, the supporting force would be:
F = mg = 55kg (9.81 m/s^2) = 539.55 N
Answer:
1. 75N
2. 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)
Explanation:
1. Work = Force x Distance
we are given that Work = 1,500J and Distance = 20m
hence,
Work = Force x Distance
1,500 = Force x 20
Force = 1,500 ÷ 20 = 75N
2. Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height
we are given that mass = 165 kg and change in height = 42m
assuming that gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²
Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height
Potential Energy, PE = 165 x 9.81 x 42 = 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)
Answer:
the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm
Explanation:
Given data
Φ = 5.32 eV
to find out
the longest wavelength
solution
we know that
hf = k(maximum) +Ф ...............1
here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy
so hf = 0
and hc/ λ = +Ф
so λ = hc/Ф ................2
now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV
so hc = 1240 / 5.32
hc = 233 nm
the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm
Answer:
The spring force constant is 
.
Explanation:
We are told the mass of the ball is 
, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is 
, the length the ball compresses the spring is 
and the acceleration of gravity is 
.
We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy 
is equal to the final mechanical energy 
:
Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:
If we manipulate the equation we have that:
