The correct answer to the question is 3.4\times 10^2\ J .

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the box is given as m = 7 kg.

The box was pushed to a height h = 5 m.

We are asked to calculate the work done by the box.

We know that energy is the capacity to do work.The work done by a body when it is taken to certain height above the surface of earth against gravity is equal to the potential energy gained by that body .

Hence, the work done W = P.E

The potential energy gained by the box when it was taken to certain height is the gravitational potential energy of the box.

The gravitational potential energy gained by the box is calculated as -

                      Potential energy P.E = mgh

                                                         = 7 × 9.8 × 5 J.

                                                         = 343 J

                                                         = 3.43\times 10^2\ J

                                                         = 3.4\times 10^2\ J

Here, g is known as the acceleration due to gravity and g = 9.8\ m/s^2

We know that work done by the box against gravity W = P.E.

Hence, the work done by the box against gravity is 3.4\times 10^2\ J

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

If it were possible to move a star towards the earth then its apparent magnitude number would decrease while its absolute magnitude number would stay the same.

Definition of apparent magnitude:

The luminosity of a celestial body (such as a star) as observed from the earth compare absolute magnitude.

So for example, the apparent magnitude of the Sun is -26.7 and is the brightest celestial object we can see from Earth. However, if the Sun were 10 parsecs away, its apparent magnitude would be +4.7, only about as bright as Ganymede appears to us on Earth.

Definition of absolute magnitude:

Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object on an inverse logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

Nadusha1986 [10]
M= Height of image/height of the object

If, M>1, then height of image>height of object.

And therefore, image is larger than the object.
