Answer:

U₁ = 129.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy is

    U = mg y - m g y₀

Where I correspond to the initial position, with this it is an additive constant, we can make it zero with the placement of the reference system, in this case the system is placed on the floor where the ladder rests.

The power power for people on the floor is

     U₀ = 0 J

The potential energy for the person on the first step is

   U₁ = m g y₁

In general the steps are 20 cm high

     y₁ = 20 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.20 m

     U₁ = 66 9.8 0.20

     U₁ = 129.4 J

A 49 kg person is being dragged in their sleeping bag to the lake by a 593 N
crimeas [40]

Answer:

f = 485.62 N

Explanation:

Since, the bag is moving with some acceleration. Hence, the unbalanced force will be given as:

Unbalanced Force = Horizontal Component Applied Force - Frictional Force

Unbalanced Force = Fx - f

But, from Newtons Second Law of Motion:

Unbalanced Force = ma

comparing the equations:

ma = Fx - f

f = F Cos θ - ma

where,

f = frictional force  = ?

F = Applied force  = 593 N

m = mass of person = 49 kg

a = acceleration = 0.57 m/s²

θ = Angle with horizontal = 30°

Therefore,

f = (593 N)(Cos 30°) - (49 kg)(0.57 m/s²)

f = 513.55 N - 27.93 N

<u>f = 485.62 N</u>

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 5.0 x 1014 Hz. What is the
andrezito [222]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

wavelength = speed of light/ frequency

= (3x 10^8 m/s)/(5.0 x 10^14 Hz)

= 6.0 x 10^-7 m

A proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4 fm and a mass of 1.67 10-27
Step2247 [10]
For the answer to the question above asking to d<span>etermine the density of the proton. 
</span>Density is mass over volume. 

The volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3. r is half the diameter. 

So the density would be 2.3×10¹⁷ kg/m³. 
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!
