Weight = mass * gravity = 60 kg * 3.75 m/s² = 225 N

How can gravitational energy play an important part of my life
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, lets say you park your car on the top of a hill, gravitational energy prevents it from the car falling back. Or a snow pack, aka before a potential avalanche. Though gravity cannot keep it safe forever, gravitational energy keeps it from crashing asap. In this case, it gives you time to escape. Altogether, gravitational force keeps the earth in it's atmosphere.

Sam, whose mass is 60 Kg, is riding on a 5.0 kg sled initially traveling at 8.0 m/s. He
umka2103 [35]
<h3>Answer:  130 newtons</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

We'll need the acceleration first.

  • The initial speed (let's call that Vi) is 8.0 m/s
  • The final speed (Vf) is 0 m/s since Sam comes to a complete stop at the end.
  • This happens over a duration of t = 4.0 seconds

The acceleration is equal to the change in speed over change in time

a = acceleration

a = (change in speed)/(change in time)

a = (Vf - Vi)/(4 seconds)

a = (0 - 8.0)/4

a = -8/4

a = -2

The acceleration is -2 m/s^2, meaning that Sam slows down by 2 m/s every second. Negative accelerations are often associated with slowing down. The term "deceleration" can be used here.

Here's a further break down of Sam's speeds at the four points of interest

  • At 0 seconds, he's going 8 m/s
  • At the 1 second mark, he's slowing down to 8-2 = 6 m/s
  • At the 2 second mark, he's now at 6-2 = 4 m/s
  • At the 3 second mark, he's at 4-2 = 2 m/s
  • Finally, at the 4 second mark, he's at 2-2 = 0 m/s

Next, we'll apply Newton's Second Law of motion

F = m*a

where,

  • F = force applied
  • m = mass
  • a = acceleration

We just found the acceleration, and the mass is fairly easy as all we need to do is add Sam's mass with the sled's mass to get 60+5.0 = 65 kg

So the force applied must be:

F = m*a

F = 65*(-2)

F = -130 newtons

This force is negative to indicate it's pushing against the sled's momentum to slow Sam down.

The magnitude of this force is |F| = |-130| = 130 newtons

AleksAgata [21]
One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

fredd [130]

Answer: Genetic information responsible for physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color, and skin color can be found in an organism's <u>DNA.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Our genetic information is stored in DNA. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule is a double helix structure which carries information which used in development and growth of body and determines physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color and skin color.

A monochromatic light beam is incident on a barium target that has a work function of 2.50 \mathrm{eV} . If a potential differen
leva [86]

The wavelength of the light beam required to turn back all the ejected electrons is 497 nm which is option (b).

  • Work function is a material property defined as the minimum amount of energy  required to infinitely remove electrons from the surface of a particular solid.
  • The potential difference required to support all emitted electrons is called the stopping potential which is given by v_0=\frac{K.E_m_a_x}{e} .....(1)
  • where v_0 is the stopping potential and e is the charge of the electron given by 1.6\times10^-^1^9 .

It is given that work function (Ф) of monochromatic light is 2.50 eV.

Einstein photoelectric equation  is given by:

K.E_m_a_x=E-\phi      ....(2)

where K.E(max) is the maximum kinetic energy.

Substituting (1) into (2) , we get

  ev_0=E-\phi\\1.6\times10^{-19} \times1=E-2.50\\E=1.6\times10^{-19}+2.50\\E=2.50eV

As we know that E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}  ....(3)

where Speed of light,c = 3\times10^8 m/s and Planck's constant , h = 6.63\times 10^-^1^9Js = 4.14\times 10^-^1^5 eVs

From equation (3) , we get

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E} \\\\\lambda=\frac{  4.14\times 10^-^1^5 \times 3 \times10^8}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=\frac{1240\times10^-^9}{2.50} \\\\\lambda=496.8\times10^-^9\\\\\lambda=497nm
