As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .
If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²
Divide each side by 1.5 kg : 23.52 m²/s² = speed²
Take the square root of each side: speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) = <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
Answer:
#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s
Explanation:
For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law
E = h f
c= λ f
E = h c / λ
λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m
Let's calculate
E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹
E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J
This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w
#_photon = P / E₀
#_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰
#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s
Some guidance notes which may help.To calculate the current flow, Ohm's law can be used. This can be written as current=voltage/resistance, or I=V/R. V is 1.5V.R for the copper wire quoted would be calculated as R = resistivity x length/cross sectional area. The area would be calculated from the formula area = pi x diameter squared/4So, R=resistivity x length divided by (pi x diameter squared/4)Until is the resistivity of copper is known, that's about as far as can be gone.Any further questions, please ask.

Sample:
As soon as the lightning is seen, sound travels in the air for several kilometers until it eventually reaches the observer.
