A bungee jumper falls 97.2 feet before bouncing back up at the end of his bungee cord. Then he falls 64.8 feet before bouncing u

p again. On his third descent, he falls 43.2 feet before going back up. What is the total distance the bungee jumper drops after five falls if the distances continue in this pattern? (Do not include the distance traveled up.) A)234.0 ft. B)253.2 ft. C)789.8 ft. D)1,281.8 ft

The answer is letter B.

The solution is as follows:
97.2 ft/ x = 64.8 ft
97.2 / 64.8 = x
x = 1.5

Divide 97.2 by x 4 times and we have the following data:
1st fall = 97.2 ft
2nd fall = 64.8 ft
3rd fall = 43.2 ft
4th fall = 28.8 ft
5th fall = 19.2 ft
Total distance of falls = 253.2 ft

What type of energy is at work when mini-blinds are being raised or lowered

ohaa [14]

The type of energy that is ar work when blinds are being raised or lowered is potential energy. because potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position, the main cause of the potential energy is the acceleration due to gravity. so that is why its formual is PE = mgh
where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?

serg [7]

Answer: $6.268(10)^{-16}J$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron $K_{e}$ is given by the following equation:

$K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}$ (1)

Where:

$K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}$

$p_{e}$ is the momentum of the electron

$m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg$ is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find $p_{e}$ :

$p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}$ (2)

$p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}$

$p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}$ (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron $\lambda_{e}$ with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}$ (4)

Where:

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of $p_{e}$ found in (3) for equation (4):

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}$

$\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m$ (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon $\lambda_{p}$ is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

$\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m$ (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon $E_{p}$ using the following equation:

$E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}$ (7)

Where $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ is the spped of light in vacuum

$E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}$

Finally:

$E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J$

Answer:

Explanation:

b) Gravity reduces the initial upward velocity to zero in a time of

t = v/g = 40/10 = 4 s

a) h = v₀t + ½gt² = 40(4) + ½(-10)4² = 80 m

or

v² = u² + 2as

h = (0² - 40²) / 2(-10) = 80 m

Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m. Which statement a

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

a) Not Accurate

b) Not Accurate

c) Accurate

d) Accurate

Explanation:

Part a

Not Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m

Part b

Not Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m

Part c

Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.

Part d

Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.
