Starting from rest, a 2.1x10^-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exert

s an average upward force of 0.41 N on it. This force does 3.7x10^-4 J of work on the flea.
(a) What is the flea's speed when it leaves the ground?
(b) How far upward does the flea move while it is pushing off? Ignore both air resistance and the flea's weight.

Answer:

a) The flea's speed when it leaves the ground is v=1.88m/s

b) The flea move 18cm upward while it is pushing off

Explanation:

Hi

<u>Knwons</u>

Mass m=2.1\times 10^{-4} kg, Work W=3.7\times 10^{-4} J and Force F=0.41N

a) Here we are going to use W=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}, so v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} }= \sqrt{\frac{2(3.7\times 10^{-4} J)}{2.1\times 10^{-4} kg} }=1.88m/s

a) Here we are going to use W=mgh, so h=\frac{W}{mg}= \frac{3.7\times 10^{-4} J}{(2.1\times 10^{-4} kg)(9.8m/s^{2})} =0,1797m or 18cm approx.

HACTEHA [7]
The lowest possible temperature is absolute zero. However scientists have not reached this temperature, rather they have come very close to absolute zero.

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?
drek231 [11]
Nearly equal the output work is greater than the input work because of friction.All machines use some amount of input work to overcome friction.The only way to increase the work output is to increase the work you put into the machine.You cannot get more work out of a machine than you put into it.

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature
Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg

What is force of gravity​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects. At Earth's surface the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 metres (32 feet) per second per second.
