Starting from rest, a 2.3x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts

an average upward force of 0.49 N on it. This force does 3.6x10-4 J of work on the flea. (a) What is the flea's speed when it leaves the ground

Answer:

3.13 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Since the flea spring started from rest,

Ek = W................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic Energy of the flea spring, W = work done on the flea spring.

But,

Ek = 1/2mv²............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the flea spring, v = flea's speed when it leaves the ground.

substitute equation 2 into equation 1

1/2mv² = W.................... Equation 3

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2W/m)................. Equation 4

Given: W = 3.6×10⁻⁴ J, m = 2.3×10⁻⁴ kg

Substitute into equation 4

v = √[2×3.6×10⁻⁴ )/2.3×10⁻⁴]

v = 7.2/2.3

v = 3.13 m/s

Hence the flea's speed when it leaves the ground  = 3.13 m/s

Which property of light remains unchanged when it enters a different medium?
RideAnS [48]
B. Frequency remains unchanged because the energy in a photon is E=hf. So if the frequency changes so does the energy and that doesn't happen to EM waves entering a medium by the conservation of energy

Represent 7468 N with SI units having an appropriate prefix. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the app
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

7.468 kN

Explanation:

Here the force of 7468 Newton is given.

Some of the prefixes of the SI units are

kilo = 10³

Mega = 10⁶

Giga = 10⁹

The number is 7468.0

Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is kilo

1 kilonewton = 1000 Newton

1\ Newton=\frac{1}{1000}\ kilonewton

\\\Rightarrow 7468\ Newton=\frac{7468}{1000}\ kilonewton\\ =7.468\ kilonewton

So 7468 N = 7.468 kN
