Answer:

Work done, W = 2675.4 J

Given:

mass, m = 70.0 kg

height, H = 3.90 m

Solution:

According to the question, as the person jumps the stairs up, there is an increase in the potential energy of the person which is provided by the work done in climbing the stairs and is given by:

Work done, W = mgH

where

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^{2}[tex][tex]W = 70.0\times 9.8\times 3.90 = 2675.4 J

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers. Find the fraction of light from the first polarizer that gets through the secon
meriva

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The angle between their transmission axes, θ = 60°

Now,

We have the relation,

I₁ = I₀cos²θ

where,

I₁ is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

on rearranging, we get

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=cos²60°

or

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=0.5

Starting from rest, a 0.0367 kg steel ball sinks into a vat of corn syrup. The thick syrup exerts a viscous drag force that is p
Arisa [49]

Answer:

0.48 W

Explanation:

Given that:

the mass of the steel ball = 0.0367 kg

C = 0.270 N

g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.8

Now;

At Terminal Velocity Weight is balance by drag force

mg =Cv

Making v the subject of the formula:we have:

v = \frac  {mg}{C}

v = \frac  {0.0367*9.8}{0.270}

v = 1.332 m/s

Thus, the Rate at which gravitational energy is converted to thermal energy once the ball reaches terminal velocity is:

P=Fv

P = mgv

P = (0.0367*9.8)*1.332

P=0.48 W
