Answer:

PE = mass x gravity # (9.8 for earth) x height.

You can calculate potential energy by:
U = m.g.h

Where, U = potential energy
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

Hope this helps!

A plane travels 350 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 125 km/h to the south. The plane has a 30 minute
faust18 [17]
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

1st part of journey,  350 km at velocity 125 km/h

Time = 350 / 125 = 2.8 hours.

2nd part of journey,  220 km at velocity 115 km/h

Time = 220 / 115 = 1.9 hours


Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

                               = (350 + 220) / (2.8 + 1.9)

                                =   570 / 4.7  ≈ 121.3 km/hr

Average Velocity ≈ 121 km/hr due south.

Heat is applied to an ice cube in a closed container until only steam is present. draw a representation of this process, assumin
olga55 [171]
The solid, liquid and gas phases of water would have the same structure of the molecules since they are same substance. The only difference would be the distances of the molecules in the container. For a ice, the molecules are close to each other where the molecules vibrate only in place. For liquid, the molecules are freely moving and are at some distance with each other but not that far away with each other. Steam, on the other hand, would have molecules that are very far from each other and are freely moving in the whole container. As the container is heated, the size of the molecules would not change. It is only the volume that has changed. Also, the mass is the same since there is no outflow of the substances.

Prob. 3: Manifestation of quantum phenomena (total 25 points) (a)-(e) 5 points each.
TEA [102]

Answer:

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus)

Explanation:

This problem asks for some experimental explanations of various quantum phenomena.

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

In the classical explanation all states or energies are allowed, therefore when emitting energy (photons) there should be a continuum, this is not observed

In the correct quantum explanation only some states are allowed, therefore the emission must be discrete, which is observed in the emission or absorption of molecules and atoms

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

The incorrect classical explanation that if the minimum energy was zero the electrons cannot rotate around the nuclei and the atom collapses, this does not happen

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams, which is evidence of the existence of two discrete states that we call spin, remember that a free electron beam has zero angular momentum.

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission that occurs when a photon passes through the emission zone, causing the atoms to have transitions and these emitted photons have the same initial photon location, the laser beam all photons are in phase and therefore it is coherent .

This is widely used for holographic and interference work

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus) leaves the atomic nucleus penetrating the barrier since its energy is lower than the nuclear barrier potential.

How to find resultant force?​
lys-0071 [83]

Assuming you're working in a 3D cartesian coordinate system, i.e. each point in space has an x, y, and z coordinate, you add up the forces' x/y/z components to find the resultant force.
