Answer:

C. 573.3 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the squirrel, m = 4.5 Kg

The height of the branch where the squirrel is sitting, h = 13 m

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The gravitational potential energy on mass 'm' is given by the relation

P.E = mgh joules

Substituting the given values in the above equation

P.E = 4.5 Kg x 13 m x 9.8 m/s²

= 573.3 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of squirrel is, P.E = 573.3 J

An electron in a mercury atom drops

aksik [14]

Since the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules.

<h3>How to calculate the photon energy?</h3>

In order to determine the photon energy of an electron, you should apply Planck-Einstein's equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein equation can be calculated by using this formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

h is Planck constant.

f is photon frequency.

In this scenario, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules because the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon.

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?

NemiM [27]

The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

In an HVAC system, the purpose of pneumatics is to serve as A. a controller B. conditional air flow C. an energy source D. a sou

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: <u><em>A</em></u>

Explanation:

A pneumatic control system uses compressed air as a method of control for HVAC systems. ... Each senor responds to changes in temperature, humidity, and static pressure as examples, to provide feedback in a control loop to open or close the actuator to meet the control set point.

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

What is the moment of inertia of a 2.0 kg, 20-cm-diameter disk for rotation about an axis (a) through the center, and (b) throug

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

(a) I=0.01 kg.m²

(b) I=0.03 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of disk M=2.0 kg

Diameter of disk d=20 cm=0.20 m

To Find

(a) Moment of inertia through the center of disk

(b) Moment of inertia through the edge of disk

Solution

For (a) Moment of inertia through the center of disk

Using the equation of moment of Inertia

$I=\frac{1}{2}MR^{2}\\ I=\frac{1}{2}(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}\\ I=0.01 kg m^{2}$

For (b) Moment of inertia through the edge of disk

We can apply parallel axis theorem for calculating moment of inertia

$I=(1/2)MR^{2}+MD\\ Here\\D=R\\I=(1/2)(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}+(2.0kg)(0.20m/2)^{2}\\ I=0.03kgm^{2}$
