A 103 kg physics professor has fallen into the Grand Canyon. Luckily, he managed to grab a branch and is now hanging 93 m below

the rim. A student (majoring in lin- guistics and physics) decides to perform a rescue/experiment using a nearby horse. After lowering a rope to her fallen hero and attaching the other end to the horse, the student measures how long it takes for the horse to pull the fallen physicist to the rim of the Grand Canyon.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .

Answer:

125.83672 seconds

Explanation:

P = Power of the horse = 1 hp = 746 W (as it is not given we have assumed the horse has the power of 1 hp)

m = Mass of professor = 103 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height of professor = 93 m

Work done would be equal to the potential energy

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=103\times 9.8\times 93\\\Rightarrow W=93874.2\ J

Power is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{W}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{93874.2}{746}\\\Rightarrow t=125.83672\ seconds

The time taken by the horse to pull the professor is 125.83672 seconds

zimovet [89]

Answer:

 λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m,   UV laser

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

         a sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

         tan θ = y / L

as in this phenomenon the angles are small

        tan θ = \frac{sin \ \theta}{cos \ \theta} = sin θ

        sin θ = y / L

we substitute

      a y / L = m  λ

let's apply this equation to the initial data

       a  0.04 / L = 1 600 10⁻⁹

       a / L = 1.5 10⁻⁵

now they tell us that we change the laser and we have y = 0.04 m for m = 2

      a 0.04 / L = 2  λ

       a / L = 50  λ

we solve the two expression is

         1.5 10⁻⁵ = 50  λ

          λ = 1.5 10⁻⁵ / 50

          λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m

A stone is dropped from the edge of a roof, and hits the ground with a velocity of -180 feet per second. How high (in feet) is t
Neko [114]

Answer:

d = 506.25 ft

Explanation:

As we know by kinematics that

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

here we know that initially the stone is dropped from rest from the edge of the roof

so here initial speed will be zero

now we have

v_i = 0

also the acceleration of the stone is due to gravity which is given as

g = 32 ft/s^2

now we have

v_f = 180 ft/s

so from above equation

180^2 - 0 = 2(32)d

d = 506.25 ft

Is an atom with one valence electron more reactive than an atom with two electrone? ​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

An atom with a closed shell of valence electrons (corresponding to an electron configuration s2p6) tends to be chemically inert. An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion.Explanation:
