A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the

The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and v=15.5 m/s is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is 
U=mgh
where g=9.81 m/s^2 and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
U=K
and so
mgh =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we find the height:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel
solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming  5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = \frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}

What is the relationship between the spring constant and the period in a mass hanging on a spring oscillation and why?
anygoal [31]

Explanation:

Period of a mass on a spring is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

T is inversely proportional with the square root of k.  So as the spring constant increases, the period decreases.

What’s the velocity of a sound wave traveling through air at a temperature of 18°C (64.4°F)?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

342 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of sound in air is approximated as:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 T

where v is the velocity in m/s and T is the temperature in Celsius.

At T = 18:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 (18)

v ≈ 342.2

The velocity is approximately 342 m/s.

Sam is playing football. She kicks the ball with an average force of 75 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

22.5J

Explanation:

Here the force is given. Also, the displacement is given as 30cm.

First we should check if all the values are in their standard form.

Here 30cm should be converted to metre by dividing it with 100.

Which would give us 0.3m

Now we use the equation W=force x displacement =75 x 0.3=22.5J

I hope this satisfies you. If u have any further questions please let me know.

I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.

Sketch a reaction progress curve for a reaction that has an activation energy of 22 kj and the total energy change is -103kj.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Do find the answer in the attachment herein.

Explanation:

From the attached diagram:

I. Activation energy = Activated complex - ∆H(reactants)

Activation energy = 162-140 = 22Kj.

II. ∆H(reaction) = ∆H(products) - ∆H(reactants)

∆H(reaction) = 37 - 140 = -103Kj.
