Oksanka [162]

Answer:

47 kJoules (kJ)

Explanation:

Potential enegy on Earth is given by the relationship:

P.E. = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, and h is height. Since we are given metric values, we will look for an answer that is consistent with Joules, the metric measure of energy. 1 Joule is defined as 1 kg*m^2/s^2, so we wnat units of kg, m, and sec.

We are given:

m = 95kg

h = 50 meters

Earth's gravity, g is 9.8 m/s^2

Enter the data:

P.E. = mgh

P.E. = (95kg)(9.8m/s^2)(50m)

P.E. = 46550 kg*m^2/s^2 or 46550 Joules(J)

Since we only have 2 sig figs, and since 1kJ =- 1000J

We can state the potential energy is 47kJ.

Spiderman has 47kJ of potential energy for the start of any dive back to Earth. [He needed that same amount of energy to reach that height, but we don't know from where it came. A jump, helicopter, beamed up by Scotty, or tossed up by Doctor Octopus.]

Suppose a 1300 kg car is traveling around a circular curve in a road at a constant

Scrat [10]

Answer:

F = 4212 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1300 kg

Speed of car on the road is 9 m/s

Radius of curve, r = 25 m

We need to find the magnitude of the unbalanced force that steers the car out of its natural straight- line path. The force is called centripetal force. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F=\dfrac{1300\times 9^2}{25}\\\\F=4212\ N$

So, the force has a magnitude of 4212 N

Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.

Tcecarenko [31]

The energy of a photon is given by
$E=hf$
where
$h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is
$f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
$E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J$
