Answer:

<h2> $\boxed{ \bold{ \purple{0.0769 \: kg \: }}}$ </h2>

Explanation:

$\sf{Potential Energy ( P.E ) \: = \: 20.8 \: joule}$

$\sf{distance \: = 27.6 \: metre}$

$\sf{mass = }$ ?

$\sf{acceleration \: due \: to \: gravity = 9.68 \: {metre \: per \: second}^{2} }$

Now, let's find the mass:

$\sf{PE \: = mass \times gravity \: \times \: distance}$

plug the values

⇒ $\sf{20.8 = m \times 9.8 \times 27.6}$

Multiply the numbers

⇒ $\sf{20.8 = 270.48 \: m}$

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒ $\sf{270.48m = 20.8}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 270.48

⇒ $\sf{ \frac{270.48m}{270.48} = \frac{20.8}{270.48} }$

Calculate

⇒ $\sf{0.0769}$ kg

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\mathrm{0.0769 \ kg}}$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle \sf Mass=\frac{Potential \ energy}{Acceleration \ of \ gravity \times Height}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{PE}{gh}$

$\mathrm{We \ need \ to \ find \ the \ mass.}$

$\displaystyle m=\frac{20.8}{9.8 \times 27.6}$

$m= 0.0769$

An electron is confined to a one dimensional infinite potential well 150 pm. How much energy must it absorb if it is to jump to

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

\Delta E=1.22\times 10^{-22}J

Explanation:

The energy of electron in any state is given by $E=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}$ here h is planck's constant n is state of electron L is the infinte potential well m is the mass of electron

We know that $h=6.67\times 10^{-34}$

Potential well dimension = $150pm=150\times 10^{-12}m$

Mass of electron $=9.1\times 10^{-31}kg$

So energy required to electron to jump from ground state to 3rd state

$\Delta E=\frac{h^2}{8mL^2}\left ( 3^2-1^2 \right )$

$\Delta E=\frac{\left ( 6.67\times 10^{-34} \right )^2}{8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}(150\times 10^{-12})^2}\left ( 9-1 \right )$

$\Delta E=1.22\times 10^{-22}J$

Which of these is an example of the meaning of inertia in physics

Vladimir79 [104]

The correct option is A.
In physics, inertia has to do with Newton's first law of motion which states that an object will continue in its state of rest or in motion unless it is acted upon by a force. Thus, inertia refers to the tendency of an object to continue its motion in a straight line at constant velocity. In the question given above, the car that its brake failed would have continue moving indefinitely if it did not crash into another car, that is, it will continue in its state of motion.

What is the Net Force acting<br> on the box below?

Eddi Din [679]

The Net Force would be 2 N to the left.

21 N is being used to push the box to the right and 23 N is used to push it left. There is a stronger force pushing the box towards the left. The different in the two numbers would give you the net force acting on the box and the direction of the arrow with the greatest force will tell you the direction.
