Answer:

40.3 ft-lbs

Explanation:

Work = Force•Distance = (Force)(Distance)(cosΘ)

Note what you know and/or don't know. In this case:

Force = 8lbs

Distance = 7ft

Θ = 44°

So with that and the formula of work above, we can say:

Work = (8lbs)(7ft)(cos44°) = 40.28...ft-lbs

When rounded you have 40.3 ft-lbs of work done by the force.

Side note: Just to be clear, the formula Force•Distance is said as Force "dot" Distance. It's a dot product and not just a multiplication sign; which is why the angle is important to know.

Force×Distance is said as Force "cross" Distance, which relates to a different kind of force and has a slightly different formula.

Does pressure change faster as you move horizontally or vertically? explain reasoning
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Vertically

Explanation:

Pressure changes faster as we move vertically because as we go to the height from the surface of the earth. The density of air becomes lesser in comparison with the surface of the earth. So, as we move vertically pressure moves faster than in comparison with the vertical movement.

The best example that describes the above statement is the hill station.

Light of wavelength 480 nm illuminates a pair of slits separated by 0.27 mm. If a screen is place 1.7 m from the slits, determin
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

  Δy = 6.05 mm

Explanation:

The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression

      d sin θ = m λ                constructive interference

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ       destructive interference

      m = 0,±1, ±2, ...

As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea

      tan θ = y / x

      y = x tan θ

In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

     cos θ = 1

     tan θ = sin θ

     y = x sin θ

We substitute in the destructive interference equation

     d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ

    y = (m + ½) λ x / d

The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it

 m = 0

      y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

      y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m

 m = 2

     y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

     y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m

The separation between these strips is Δy

     Δy = y₂-y₀

     Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³

     Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m

     Δy = 6.05 mm

An avant-garde composer wants to use the Doppler effect in his new opera. As the soprano sings, he wants a large bat to fly towa
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

18.94  m/s

Explanation:

The bat becomes the source of sound . Source is moving towards observer

apparent frequency = actual frequency x (V / V - V_s)

V is velocity of sound and V_s is velocity of source or bat.

apparent frequency / actual frequency = V / (V - V_s)

21 / 12 = 340 / (340 - V_s)

1.059(340 - V_s) = 340

340 x .059 = 1.059 V_s

V_s = 18.94  m/s

How is photon energy calculated? (choose 2)
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Based on the wave model of light, physicists predicted that increasing light amplitude would increase the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, while increasing the frequency would increase measured current.

Contrary to the predictions, experiments showed that increasing the light frequency increased the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons, and increasing the light amplitude increased the current.

Based on these findings, Einstein proposed that light behaved like a stream of particles called photons with an energy of \text{E}=h\nuE=hνstart text, E, end text, equals, h, \nu.

The work function, \PhiΦ\Phi, is the minimum amount of energy required to induce photoemission of electrons from a metal surface, and the value of \PhiΦ\Phi depends on the metal.

The energy of the incident photon must be equal to the sum of the metal's work function and the photoelectron kinetic energy:
