Answer:

5.791244495 KNm

Explanation:

The height h is given by, h=42.6sin42.3^{o}

Potential energy, PE is given by

PE=mgh where m is mass of the woman, g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as 9.81 m/s^{2} and h is already given hence substituting 77 Kg for m we obtain

PE=77*9.81*42.6sin42.3^{o}=21656.7095 Nm

PE=21.6567095 KNm

We also know that Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2} where v is the velocity and substituting v for 20.3 we obtain

KE=0.5*77*20.3^{2}=15865.465 Nm

KE=15.865465 KNm

Friction work is the difference between PE and KE hence

Friction work=21.6567095 KNm-15865.465 Nm=5.791244495 KNm

Newton's Third Law of Motion relates to action and reaction. Which of the following scenarios accurately names the correct actio
Tomtit [17]
Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So look for a scenario in which something had force applied upon it and the reaction is a force in the opposite direction of the same size.

The velocities of light in air and glass are 3.0 x 10^8ms and 2.0×10^8ms respectively. If the angle of refraction is 30°, the si
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

refractive \: index \:  =  \frac{3.0 \times  {10}^{2} }{2.0 \times  {10}^{2} }

= 1.5

refractive \: index =  \frac{ \sin(angle \: of \: incidence) }{ \sin(angle \: of \: refraction) }

1.5 =  \ \frac{ \sin(i) }{ \sin(30) }

1.5 × ½ = sin(i)

\sin(i)  =  0.75

What method has detected the most extrasolar planets so far?
Sedaia [141]
<h2>Answer: The Transit  method</h2>

Detecting extrasolar planets by direct observation (with a telescope) is a complicated task. This is because any planet constitutes an extremely dim light source compared to the star around which it orbits.

So, to detect this extremely dim source is quite difficult due to the glare of the star's light that dulls it.

In this sense, scientists and astronomers have made several methods to find these extrasolar planets, among which the most successful has been the transit method.

This method is based on <u>astronomical transit</u>, a phenomenon in which a body (a planet in this case) passes in front of a larger one (the star), blocking (eclipsing) its vision to some extent.

It should be noted that this is the method currently used in the search for extrasolar planets. Space agencies such as ESA (Europe) and NASA (USA) have put into orbit satellites with extremely sensitive photometric sensors to observe even the smallest variations of intensity of a star due to the passage of a planet.

One mole of an ideal gas expands isothermally from 0.01 m3 to 0.05 m3. The final pressure of gas is 1.2 atm. [15 Marks] determin
erik [133]

Answer:

Initial pressure = 6 atm. Work = 0.144 J

Explanation:

You need to know the equation P1*V1=P2*V2, where P1 is the initial pressure, V1 is the initial volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume respectively. So you can rearrange the terms and find that (1.2*0.05)/(0.01) = initial pressure = 6 atm. The work done by the system can be obtained calculating the are under the curve, so it is 0.144J
