The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world's tallest building. The structure is 828 m (2,716.5 feet) and has more than 160 stories.

A tourist is obviously using the elevator to reach their hotel room and after a long ride finally arrives at the correct floor where the tourist has − 187000 J of potential energy. If the 184 lb tourist has zero potential energy at the top of the building, what is the height h of the hotel room above the ground? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.

Answer:

 h = 599.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

height of structure = 828 m

weight of the tourist = 184 lb

                                 = 184 x 0.45359 = 83.43 Kg

Potential energy = 187000 J

PE = m gd

d = \frac{PE}{mg}

d = \frac{187000}{83.43\times 9.81}

h = 228.5 m

Height of the room above the ground.

 h = 828 - 228.5

 h = 599.5 m

Height of the floor above ground is equal to 599.5 m.

A 2kg 2 kg object is moving in along the x x -axis under a single conservative force. When the object is at position x=0 x = 0 ,
Luden [163]

Answer:

The particle comes to rest before reaching the position x=4m.

Explanation:

When the object is at x=0m, all of its energy is kinetic energy. Using the equation for kinetic energy yields KE=1/2mv^2=(12)(2)(3)^2=9J. Using the given equation for potential energy when the object is at x=4m yields U=4x^2=4(4)^2=64J. Since the system only has 9J of energy, the object comes to rest before reaching x=4m.

A mass of 0.40 kg is suspended on a spring which then stretches 10 cm. The mass is then removed and a second mass is placed on t
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

 x' = 1.01 m

Explanation:

given,

mass suspended on the spring, m = 0.40 Kg

stretches to distance, x = 10 cm  = 0. 1 m

now,

we know

m g = k x

where k is spring constant

0.4 x 9.8 = k x 0.1

  k = 39.2 N/m

now, when second mass is attached to the spring work is equal to 20 J

work done by the spring is equal to

W = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2

20= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 39.2\times x'^2

 x'² = 1.0204

 x' = 1.01 m

hence, the spring is stretched to 1.01 m from the second mass.

The reaction mixture represented above is at equilibrium at 298 K. The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 16
andre [41]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of T(g) is 0.5 M

Solution :

Let us assume that the equilibrium reaction be:

The given equilibrium reaction is,

R(g)+2T(g)\rightleftharpoons 2X(g)+Z(g)

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[Z][X]^2}{[R][T]^2}

where,

K_c = equilibrium constant = 16

[Z] = concentration of Z at equilibrium = 2.0 M

[R] = concentration of R at equilibrium = 2.0 M

[X] = concentration of X at equilibrium = 2.0 M

[T] = concentration of T at equilibrium = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

16=\frac{(2.0)\times (2.0)^2}{(2.0)\times [T]^2}

[T]=0.5M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of T(g) is 0.5 M

A 60m long train moving on a straight
Flura [38]

Explanation:

part 1.

s=60m

t=5s

v=s/t. =60/5 =12m/s

part 2

total s= 540+60. =600m

v=12m/s

t=s/v. =600/12 =50s
