Answer:

The answer to your question is Pe = 2452.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass = 50 kg

height = 5 m

gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Process

The energy of this process is Potential energy which is proportional to the mass of the body, the gravity and the height of the body.

Pe = mgh

Substitution

Pe = (50)(5)(9.81)

Simplification

Pe = 2452.5 J

How much thermal energy is created in the slope and the tube during the ascent of a 30-m-high, 120-m-long slope?

charle [14.2K]

<span>The change in internal energy is only gravitional PE because the tube is being drug up at a constant speed. Since it is at a constant speed, the change in KE is 0. Change in PE = m*g*h = 78 kg * 10 m/s^2 * 30 m = 23400 J Work done on the system is from the force Work = force * distance = 350 N * 120 m = 42000 J So, work added 42000 J to the system, but the rider's energy only increased 23400 J. Therefore, friction took up the difference. Friction is where the thermal energy comes from Q = 42000 J - 23400 J = 18600 J. Therfore, friction generated 18600 J of heat to the surroundings.</span>

2. An electron and a proton are separated by 5 cm:

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

a) the charge of an electron is equivalent to the magnitude of the elementary charge but barring a negative sign since the side of the elementary charge is roughly 1.602 * 10 - 19 Columbus then the charge of the electronic is-1.602 * 10 - 19

b) b=2T on the electron moving in the magnetic field

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?

Oduvanchick [21]

First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
$a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1} - \frac{1}{n2} )$
We insert the values

$a = 2.18 \times {10}^{ - 18} \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } - \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} } )$
$= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}$
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
$wavelength = \frac{h \times c}{a}$
Finally we insert the values
$\frac{6.626 \times {10}^{ - 34} \times 3 \times {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18} } = 9.376 \times {10}^{ - 8}$
Which is the same as 93.8 nm
