Answer:
<h2>4.9 J</h2>
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula
GPE = mgh
where
m is the mass
h is the height
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²
From the question we have
GPE = 10 × 9.8 × 0.05
We have the final answer as
<h3>4.9 J</h3>
Hope this helps you
A) 1.55
The speed of light in a medium is given by:
where
is the speed of light in a vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material
In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is
So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:
B) 550.3 nm
The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is
where
is the wavelenght in quartz
is the wavelength in air
n is the refractive index
For the light in this problem, we have
Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find , the wavelength in air:
The answer is supposed to be during the summer in Richmond,
the angle of the sun at noon from the vertical is 14 degrees which is equal to
Richmond's latitude of 37.5 degrees minus Earth's slope of 23.5 degrees. While in the winter, the angle of the sun at
noon from the vertical is 61 degrees.
The object will continue to accelerate, since F=ma. Therefore, a continuous force will mean a continuous acceleration.
