Answer:

500 watts

Explanation:

Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.

In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:

200 N x 10 m = 2000 Nm

then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:

Power = 2000 / 4 Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

(a)Look at the attached graphic

(b)

(b)-1 Equation 1 : m1= 5kg

50-F1= 5 *a

(b)-2 Equation 2 : m2= 3kg

F1-F2= 3 *a

(b)-3 Equation 3 : m3= 2kg

F2 = 2*a

(d) F2 =10 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes

Look at the attached graphic

(b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction.

Data: m1= 5.0-kg ,m2= 3.0-kg , ,m3= 2.0-kg

Look m1 free-body diagram:

∑Fx = m1*a

50-F1= 5 *a Equation 1

Look m2 free-body diagram:

∑Fx = m2*a

F1-F2= 3 *a Equation 2

Look m3 free-body diagram:

∑Fx = m3*a

F2 = 2*a Equation 3

(c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box?

Look Free body diagram of the mass set

∑Fx = m*a m= m1+m2+m3= 5+3+2 = 10 kg

50 = 10*a

a= 50/10 = 5 m/s²

We replace a = 5 m/s² in the equation 1:

50-F1= 5 *5

50-25= F1

F1 = 25 N

(d) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?

We replace a= 5 m/s² in the equation 3

F2 = 2*5 = 10 N

Discuss how a photon (aka the light particle) can be affected by gravity despite being massless.

Over [174]

Explanation:

Light is clearly affected by gravity, just think about a black hole, but light supposedly has no mass and gravity only affects objects with mass. On the other hand, if light does have mass then doesn't mass become infinitely larger the closer to the speed of light an object travels.

An object of known mass M with speed v0 travels toward a wall. The object collides with it and bounces away from the wall in the

Bingel [31]

Neither side of the equation may be used because there are too many unknown quantities before, during, and after the collision

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision:

$\Delta p = F \Delta t$

where

$\Delta p$ is the change in momentum

F is the average force

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

In this problem, neither side of the equation can be used to measure the change in momentum. In fact:

- The change in momentum (left side) is given by

$\Delta p = m(v-u)$

where

m is the mass of the object

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

Here the final velocity is not known, so it's not possible to use this side of the equation

- The impulse (right side) is given by

$F\Delta t$

here the average force is known, however the duration of the collision is not known, so it's not possible to use this side of the equation.

If we were to illuminate them only with light from the Balmer transition considered above, would the solar panels produce a curr

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reason why no current is produced are basically that, the wavelengths of light in the Balmer transition are reflected, not absorbed in solar panels, hence no current is produced.

The Balmer series consists of lines in the visible spectrum. It corresponds to emission of a photon of light when electrons descend from higher energy levels to the n=2 level in the hydrogen spectrum. The various wavelengths in the Balmer series can be separated by a prism since they are all in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In solar panels, light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series is merely reflected by the panel and not absorbed. Since light is not absorbed, no current can be produced when the panel is irradiated with light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series.
