The net force on the student is A) -294 N

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, there is only one force acting on the student: the force of gravity, which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the student

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we have:

m = 30 kg is the mass of the student

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity, where the negative sign means the direction is downward

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the student:

F=(30)(-9.8)=-294 N

And since this is the only force acting on the student, it is also the net force on him.

The brakes of a 125 kg sled are applied while it is moving at 8.1 m/s, which exerts a force of 261 N to slow the sled down. How
sammy [17]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the sled = 125 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s

v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s

F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261

d = stopping distance for the sled

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)

d = 15.7 m

Two students designed an experiment to study the effect of solar radiations on four cities of Earth. They used a globe to repres
Furkat [3]
Great experiment !  Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment. 
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words. 

I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe.  If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.

If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons.  City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.

An electron and a proton each have a thermal kinetic energy of 3kBT/2. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of each particle at a
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Given:

Thermal Kinetic Energy of an electron, KE_{t} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T

k_{b} = 1.38\times 10^{- 23} J/k = Boltzmann's constant

Temperature, T = 1800 K

Solution:

Now, to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron, \lambda_{e}:

\lambda_{e} = \frac{h}{p_{e}}

\lambda_{e} = \frac{h}{m_{e}{v_{e}}              (1)

where

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{- 34}m^{2}kg/s

p_{e} = momentum of an electron

v_{e} = velocity of an electron

m_{e} = 9.1\times 10_{- 31} kg = mass of electon

Now,

Kinetic energy of an electron = thermal kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}m_{e}v_{e}^{2} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T

}v_{e} = \sqrt{2\frac{\frac{3}{2}k_{b}T}{m_{e}}}

}v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 1.38\times 10^{- 23}\times 1800}{9.1\times 10_{- 31}}}

v_{e} = 2.86\times 10^{5} m/s                    (2)

Using eqn (2) in (1):

\lambda_{e} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{9.1\times 10_{- 31}\times 2.86\times 10^{5}} = 2.55 nm

Now, to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of proton, \lambda_{e}:

\lambda_{p} = \frac{h}{p_{p}}

\lambda_{p} = \frac{h}{m_{p}{v_{p}}                             (3)

where

m_{p} = 1.6726\times 10_{- 27} kg = mass of proton

v_{p} = velocity of an proton

Now,

Kinetic energy of a proton = thermal kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p}^{2} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T

}v_{p} = \sqrt{2\frac{\frac{3}{2}k_{b}T}{m_{p}}}

}v_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 1.38\times 10^{- 23}\times 1800}{1.6726\times 10_{- 27}}}

v_{p} = 6.674\times 10^{3} m/s                               (4)                    

Using eqn (4) in (3):

\lambda_{p} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{1.6726\times 10_{- 27}\times 6.674\times 10^{3}} = 5.94\times 10^{- 11} m = 0.0594 nm

Answer:

1.84 kJ  (kilojoules)

Explanation:

A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.

If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:

Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)

Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C -  20° C)

[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]

Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ

[Note that the number is positive:  Energy is added to the system.  If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C).  The number is -1.84 kJ:  the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).
