Question:
A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.
What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?
If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?
Given Information:
Mass = m = 0.5 kg
Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m
Normal force = Fn = 1 N
Required Information:
Potential energy = PE = ?
Work done = W = ?
Answer:
Potential energy = 0.343 Joules
Work done = 0.39 N.m
Explanation:
The potential energy is given by
PE = mgh
where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.
PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07
PE = 0.343 Joules
As you can see in the attached image
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sinθ = 0.07/0.4
θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)
θ = 10.078°
The horizontal component of the normal force is given by
Fx = Fncos(θ)
Fx = 1*cos(10.078)
Fx = 0.984 N
Work done is given by
W = Fxd
where d is the horizontal distance
W = 0.984*0.4
W = 0.39 N.m

The length of time over which the conditions are measured
Explanation:
Weather captures the daily atmospheric conditions over a short duration hence it is short-term. Climate is the average of weather and covers a longer duration hence long-term. Therefore, what differentiatea these two is the length of time over which the conditions are measured.
Answer:
Thermometer will read 26 degrees Celsius.

Answer : The specific heat capacity of the alloy 
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of alloy = ?
= specific heat of water = 
= mass of alloy = 21.6 g
= mass of water = 50.0 g
= final temperature of system = 
= initial temperature of alloy = 
= initial temperature of water = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the alloy
Answer:
Definition:
Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.
Explanation:
How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.
Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.
1) Divide 100g by 2.
