A body with a mass of 2,000 kg is lifted to a height of 15 m within a time of 15 s. Which one of the following statements concer
Aleksandr [31]
<span>So we want to know which statement is true for the body of mass m=2000kg that is lifted to a height of h=15m in t=15 s. Lets calculate each of the following: Gravity force on the body is F=m*g=2000*9.81=19620 N so a is FALSE. Potential energy of the body when it is lifted to the height of 15 m is Ep=m*g*h=2000*9.81*15=294300 J so b is FALSE. Work to lift the body is: W=Fg*h=2000*9.81*15= Ep=294300 J so c is FALSE. Power P=W/t=294300/15=19620 W So d is TRUE. </span>

Why would you expect the speed of light to be slightly less in the atmosphere then in a vacuum?
azamat

The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.

But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.

A small hot-air balloon is filled with 1.01×106 l of air (d = 1.20 g/l). as the air in the balloon is heated, it expands to 1.10
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>Volume of air in the balloon 1.01 x 10^6 L
 Density of air is 1.20 g/l
 Mass = Density X Volume

 So mass of the air in the Balloon= ( 1.01 x 10^6) X 1.20 = 1.212 x 10^6 g
 As the air is heated, the volume of air in the balloon expands to 1.10x 10^6 L Density= Mass/ voume So the Density of heated air = 1.212 x 10^6/ 1.10x 10^6 = 1.101 g/l The answer is 1.101 g/l.</span>
