Answer:

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Depth of Death valley is 85 m below sea level, h_i=-85\ m

The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m, h_f=4420\ m

Mass of the hiker, m = 65 kg

We need to find the change in potential energy. It is given by :

\Delta E=mg(h_f-h_i)

\Delta E=65\times 9.8(4420-(-85))

\Delta E=2869685\ J

or

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

So, the change in potential energy of the hiker is 2.87\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}

\theta=0.104^{\circ}

(b) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=10.47^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

An object is placed 4.0 cm to the left of a convex lens with a focal length of +8.0 cm . Where is the image of the object?
Serjik [45]

The image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)

<h3></h3>

What is the image of an object?

The image of an object is said to be the location where light rays from that object intersect with a mirror by reflection.

It is calculated thus:

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>How to calculate the image of an object</h3>

From the formula

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>Where </h3>

V = image distance fromthe object

U = object

f = focal length

Substitute the values

1÷v = 1÷8 - 1÷ 4

1÷v = - 1÷8

Make v the subject of formula

v = -8cm

Therefore, the image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)
