Explanation:

EE = ½ kx²

EE = ½ (800 N/m) (6 m)²

EE = 14,400 J

a man pushes on a wall with a force of 50N. what are the size and direction of the force that the wall exert on the man?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So Wall must apply a force of 50 Newton but in opposite direction. Hope you got it :-D

Astronaut Sarah leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.280c relative to Earth. Sarah's destination is a star-system 12.5 li

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

L= 12 light years

Explanation:

for length dilation we use the formula

$L=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

now calculating Lo

Lo = 12.5×365×24×3600×3×10^8

= 1.183×10^17 m

now putting the values of v and Lo in the above equation we get

$L=1.183\times10^{17}\sqrt{1-\frac{0.28c^2}{c^2} }$

= 1.136×10^17 m

L= $= \frac{1.136\times10^{17}}{365\times24\times3600\times3\times10^8}$ m

so L= 12 light years

For a star with a parallax angle of 1/2 of an at arcsecond, what will be its distance in parsec?

avanturin [10]

(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.

Another way to understand it is: The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.

For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).

1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, $E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, $V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V$

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

$E=eV$

e is charge of electron

$E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4$

$E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J$

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is $8\times 10^{-15}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
