If a boat and its riders have a mass of 1100 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.3 m/s how much work does Sam do to stop it

Answer:

-929.5Joules

Explanation:

To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;

KE = 1/2mv²

m is the mass = 1100kg

v is the velocity = 1.3m/s

KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²

KE = 550(1.69)

KE = 929.5Joules

Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules

Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the energy levels of n1 and n2 are high, the difference of their energy level will tend to zero thereby making the energy of the emitted photons very low.

Calculate the acceleration of gravity as a function of depth in the earth (assume it is a sphere). You may use an average densit

Ber [7]

Solution :

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g $=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\frac{G(4/3 \pi R^2 \rho)}{R^2}=G(4/3 \pi R \rho)$

Acceleration due to gravity at 1000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-1000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 822486 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.822 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 8.23 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 2000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-2000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 673552 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.673 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 6.73 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 3000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-3000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 3371 \times 153.86 \times 10^{-8}$

= 5.18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 4000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-4000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

$= 153.84 \times 2371 \times 10^{-8}$

$=0.364 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

= 3.64 m/s

A trait of an organism that helps it survive in its environment is calles

kompoz [17]

Answer is adaptation. An organism develops a trait over time to help survive in its environment called an adaptation. You could take a giraffe for example. A long time ago giraffes actually had short necks, but now since their food is higher they soon developed a longer neck and this is what we now see in the present. This goes for any artic animal. Polar bears and seals have a white fur adaptation to help them blend in with their environment. A chameleon changes colors in order to hide from predators and sneak up on prey. These are all adaptations
