Answer:2738.477 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Lowest Point of death valley is 75.5 m below sea level

Height of Mt. Whitney is 4360 m

mass of hiker =63 kg

Change in potential energy=m\times g\times (h_2-h_1)

Considering sea level a datum

\delta PE=63\times 9.8\times (4360-(-75.5))=2738477.7 J

\delta PE=2738.477 kJ

Which event in a solar cell uses the photoelectric effect?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Light shone on metal expulses electrons from its surface. This phenomenon is the photoelectric effect, and the electrons are called photoelectrons. Experiments indicate that by increasing light frequency, the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons increases, and by intensifying the light, the current increases

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the expression x= 5.0 cos
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a)   x = 4.33 m ,   b)  w = 2 rad / s ,  f = 0.318 Hz ,  c) a = - 17.31 cm / s²,  

d) T =  3.15 s,  e)  A = 5.0 cm

Explanation:

In this exercise on simple harmonic motion we are given the expression for motion

          x = 5 cos (2t + π / 6)

they ask us for t = 0

a) the position of the particle

      x = 5 cos (π / 6)

      x = 4.33 m

remember angles are in radians

 

b) The general form of the equation is

          x = A cos (w t + Ф)

when comparing the two equations

         w = 2 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

          w = 2π f

           f = w / 2π

           f = 2 / 2pi

           f = 0.318 Hz

c) the acceleration is defined by

      a == d²x / dt²

      a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

for t = 0 ,  we substitute

      a = - 5,0 2² cos (π / 6)

      a = - 17.31 cm / s²

d) El period is

          T = 1/f

         T= 1/0.318

         T =  3.15 s

e) the amplitude

        A = 5.0 cm

Tech A says that as engines gain miles, the spark plug gap increases, which raises the ignition system’s available voltage. Tech
Ugo [173]

Answer: Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Every vehicle has ignition system and without this system,it will not work. The battery of everything vehicle contain energy that start the vehicle and ignore it to start working. Electrical current move from the vehicle's battery and get to the induction coil, the induction coil increases the voltage in it so that the plug will be ignited. The spark plugs produce fire. The spark plug is connected to the ignition system. Once voltage is produced from the induction coil, electrical impulses move from induction coil to insulated plug wires. The spark plug need a very high voltage from the small voltage battery. Once the high voltage exceed the dielectric strength of the gases, spark jump the gap between the plug's fire end.
