Parachutists are hurt when jumping on the moon's surface,why?​

Answer:

It's all about Gravity. When parachutists jump and open the parachute, the parachute increases the air resistance due to which acceleration due to gravity decreases, thus parachutists land safely without getting hurt.

You pull a solid nickel ball with a density of 8.91 g/cm3 and a radius of 1.40 cm upward through a fluid at a constant speed of
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

P = 1.090\,N

Explanation:

The constant speed means that ball is not experimenting acceleration. This elements is modelled by using the following equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = P - W + F_{D}

\Sigma F = P - \rho \cdot V \cdot g + c\cdot v = 0

Now, the exerted force is:

P = \rho \cdot V \cdot g - c\cdot v

The volume of a sphere is:

V = \frac{4\cdot \pi}{3}\cdot R^{3}

V = \frac{4\cdot \pi}{3}\cdot (0.014\,m)^{3}

V = 1.149\times 10^{-5}\,m^{3}

Lastly, the force is calculated:

P = (8910\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (1.149\cdot 10^{-5}\,m^{3})\cdot (9.81\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )+(0.950\,\frac{kg}{s})\cdot (0.09\,\frac{m}{s} )

P = 1.090\,N

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. the waves move at 56 km/h and have a wavelength of 160 m, bot
Lera25 [3.4K]
The wavelength \lambda of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).

The speed of the wave is 
v=56 km/h = 15.6 m/s
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
t= \frac{S}{v} = \frac{80 m}{15.6 m/s}=5.1 s

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the s
yawa3891 [41]

Hello!

A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the spring ?

Data:

E_{pe}\:(elastic\:potential\:energy) = 5184\:J

K\:(constant) = 16200\:N/m

x\:(displacement) =\:?

For a spring (or an elastic), the elastic potential energy is calculated by the following expression:

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

Where k represents the elastic constant of the spring (or elastic) and x the deformation or displacement suffered by the spring.

Solving:  

E_{pe} = \dfrac{k*x^2}{2}

5184 = \dfrac{16200*x^2}{2}

5184*2 = 16200*x^2

10368 = 16200\:x^2

16200\:x^2 = 10368

x^{2} = \dfrac{10368}{16200}

x^{2} = 0.64

x = \sqrt{0.64}

\boxed{\boxed{x = 0.8\:m}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Answer:  

The displacement of the spring = 0.8 m

g Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m,  λ = 541.96 nm    this is green ligh

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Eintein assuming that the light was made up of particles called photons and these collided with the electrons taking them out of the material.

 

                     K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, hf is the energy of the light quanta and fi is the work function of the material.

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

                   c = λ / f

                  f = c /λ

we substitute

                K = h c / λ - Φ

for the case that they ask us the kinetic energy of the electons is zero (K = 0)

                 h c / λ = Ф

                λ = h c / Ф

we calculate

                 λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ / 3.67 10⁻¹⁸

                 λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m

let's take nm

                lam = 541.96 nm

this is green light
