It is true that only half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun.  The reason why the moon changes it phases is because Moon orbits around the Earth, and due to this some areas of the half of the moon will not be lit by the sun.

A weightlifter works out at the gym each day. Part of her routine is to lie on her back and lift a 43 kg barbell straight up fro
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A. 231.77 J

B. 5330.71 J

C. 46 donuts

Explanation:

A. To lift the barbell once, she will have to extend it the full length of her arm. The work done will then be:

W = F * d

Where the force is the weight of the barbell.

F = m * g

Hence, the work done in lifting the barbell is:

W = m * g * d

W = 43 * 9.8 * 0.55

W = 231.77 J

B. If she does 23 repetitions, the total energy she expend will be equal to the Potential energy when the barbell is lifted multiplied by 23:

E = 23 * m * g * d

E = 23 * 231.77

E = 5330.71 J

C. 1 Joule = 4.184 calories

5330.71 Joules = 5330.71 * 4.184 = 22303.69

If 1 donut contains 490 calories, the number of donuts she will need will be:

N = 22303.69/490 = 45.5 donuts or 46 donuts

Answer : The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, 0.101\AA

Explanation :

The formula used for kinetic energy is,

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2        ..........(1)

According to de-Broglie, the expression for wavelength is,

\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}

or,

v=\frac{h}{m\lambda}      ...........(2)

Now put the equation (2) in equation (1), we get:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\times m\times K.E}}  ...........(3)

where,

\lambda = wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg

K.E = kinetic energy = 4.71\times 10^{-15}J

Now put all the given values in the above formula (3), we get:

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}

\lambda=1.0115\times 10^{-11}m=0.101\AA

conversion used : (1\AA=10^{-10}m)

Therefore, the de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, 0.101\AA
