How much kinetic energy does a 7.2-kg dog need to make a vertical jump of 1.2 m?
Answer:

85 Joule (approx)

Explanation:

Potential energy at highest point

P.E = mgh = 7.2 kg × 9.8 m/s2×1.2 m≈85 Joule

This is the kinetic energy required for dog to jump a height of 1.2 m.

hope this helps!

Answer:

Kinetic energy of dog is 84.67 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the dog, m = 7.2 kg

We have to find the kinetic energy does a 7.2-kg dog need to make a vertical jump of 1.2 m. We know that the energy of a system remains conversed. At highest point there is only potential energy. So, while taking a vertical jump the potential energy gets converted to potential energy.

So, $E_k=mgh$

here, h = 1.2 m

$E_k=7.2\times 9.8\times 1.2$

$E_k=84.67\ Joules$

Hence, the kinetic energy needed to make a vertical jump is 84.67 Joules.

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?

Ket [755]

The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
$E=hf$
where $h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1}$ is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is $f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$ , and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
$E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J$

1. An electric iron has a rating of 750W, 220V. Calculate:

horrorfan [7]

The equation for electrical power isP=VIwhere V is the voltage and I is the current. This can be rearranged to solve for I in 6(a). 6(b) can be solved with Ohm's LawV=IRor if you'd like, from power, after substituting Ohm's law in for IP=V2R For 7, realize that because they are in parallel, their voltages are the same. We can find the resistance of each lamp fromP=V2RThen the equivalent resistance as1R∗=1R1+1R2Then the total power asPt=V2R∗However, this will reveal that (with a bit of algebra)Pt=P1+P2 For 8, again the resistance can be found asP=V2RThe energy usage is simplyE=P⋅t

If 7 ounces of a sports drink contains 110 milligrams of sodium, what is the total number of milligrams of sodium in 20 ounces o

ehidna [41]

so you just take 110 divided by 7 and then you get the answer and times tthat by 20 and you get you answer which is 314.28 milligrams of sodium in 20 ounces of the sports drink.

[High Dive) above a pool of water. According to the announcer, the divers enter the water at a speed of 56 mi/h (25 m/s). (Air r

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

(a) The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b) it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/s if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s. The upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

Explanation:

(a)

To find the final velocity $V_{f}$ for an object traveling distance h taking the initial vertical component of velocity as $V_{i}$ the kinematics equation is written as

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2ah$ where a is acceleration

Substituting g for a where g is gravitational force value taken as 9.81

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh$

Since the initial velocity is zero, we can solve for final velocity by substituting figures, note that 70 ft is 21.3 m for h

$V_{f}=\sqrt {(2gh)}= V_{f}=\sqrt {(2*9.81*21.3)}$ = 20.44275

Therefore, the divers enter with a speed of 20.4 m/s

The announcer's claim is incorrect because the divers enter at a speed of 20.4 and not 25 m/s as announced

(b)

The divers can enter water with a velocity of 25 m/s only if they have some initial velocity. Using the kinematic equation

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{i}^{2}+2gh$

Since we have final velocity of 25 m/s

$V_{i}^{2}=2gh-V_{f}^{2}$

$V_{i}=\sqrt{(V_{f}^{2}-2gh)}$

$V_{i}=\sqrt{(25^{2}-2*9.81*21.3)}$ = 14.390761 m/s

Therefore, it’s possible for a diver to enter the water with the velocity of 25 m/5 if he has initial velocity of 14.4 m/s

In conclusion, the upward initial velocity can’t be physically attained

1) How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles?

dlinn [17]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to thetemperature. An increase intemperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. Allgases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lightergas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
