A 66.0−kg short-track ice skater is racing at a speed of 10.0 m/s when he falls down and slides across the ice into a padded wal

l that brings him to rest. Assuming that he doesn't lose any speed during the fall or while sliding across the ice, how much work is done by the wall while stopping the ice skater?

Answer:

3300J

Explanation:

Work done is the energy that is lost by the skater

Formula for workdone = 1/2*mV^2

m = 66kg

V = 10m/s

Work done = 1/2 * 66 * 10^2

= 3300J

What causes long sightedness?how is it corrected.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Long sight occurs when the eyeball is too short or the lens is too thin, or both. As a result, light rays from near objects are focused behind the retina because the light rays are not converged enough. The image formed on the retina is therefore out of focus.

To correct this problem, people can wear glasses with convex lenses. Light rays from near objects are converged by the convex lenses before entering the eyes, so that light can be focused on the retina to form a sharp image. Additionally, long sight can also be corrected by surgical methods such as LASIK.

A mechanic changing the spark plugs in a car notes that the instruction manual calls for a torque with a magnitude of
Papessa [141]

The magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

<h3>Force exerted by the wrench</h3>

The force exerted by the wrench is calculated using torque formula as follows;

torque, τ = F x r x sinθ

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • r is the perpendicular distance if force applied

F =  τ /(r sinθ)

F = (39) / (0.3 sin 60)

F = 150.1 N

Thus, the magnitude (in N) of the force she must exert on the wrench is 150.1 N.

The eyes of some reptiles are sensitive to 850 nm light. If the minimum energy to trigger the receptor at this wavelength is 3.1
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Minimum number of photons required is 1.35 x 10⁵

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the light, λ = 850 nm = 850 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of one photon is given by the relation :

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}    ....(1)

Here h is Planck's constant and c is speed of light.

Let N be the minimum number of photons needed for triggering receptor.

Minimum energy required for triggering receptor, E₁ = 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

According to the problem, energy of N number of photons is equal to the energy required for triggering, that is,

E₁ = N x E

Put equation (1) in the above equation.

E_{1}=N\times\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Substitute 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J for E₁, 850 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ, 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J s for h and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the above equation.

3.15\times10^{-14} =N\times\frac{6.6\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{850\times10^{-9}}

N = 1.35 x 10⁵
