An electron in a photosynthetic pigment that is excited to a higher energy state generally has one of two fates. The first optio

n is the electron can return to its resting, unexcited state and, in the process, energy is released. Some of this energy can be transferred to a nearby molecule, bumping electrons in that molecule to a higher energy state. What is the other possible fate?

The bob (weight) at the end of a pendulum has a mass of 0.3 kilograms. The bob is pulled to position B and allowed to swing. It
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

0.147 J

Explanation:

The total energy that has been transformed into thermal energy is equal to the loss of gravitational potential energy between the initial situation (bob at h=0.5 m above the ground) and the final situation (bob back but at h=0.45 m above the ground).

Therefore, we have

E_{thermal}=\Delta U=mgh_1 - mgh_2 = mg(h_1 -h_2)

where

m = 0.3 kg is the mass of the bob

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h1 = 0.5 m is the initial height

h2 = 0.45 m is the final height

Substituting, we find the thermal energy

E_{thermal}=(0.3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m-0.45 m)=0.147 J

Therefore, the energy transformed into thermal energy is 0.147 J.

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745 ra
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be 8.05m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child \omega =1.25rad/sec

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration \alpha =0.745rad/sec^2

We know that linear velocity is given by v=\omega r=1.25\times 4.65=5.815m/sec

We know that radial acceleration is given by a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{5.815^2}{4.65}=7.2718m/sec^2

Tangential acceleration is given by

a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^

So total acceleration will be a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}=8.05m/sec^2

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase
