Answer:

3136 Joules

Explanation:

Applying,

P.E = mgh.............. Equation 1

Where P.E = potential energy, m = mass of the cinder block, h = height of the platform, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: m = 16 kg, h = 20 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P.E = 16(20)(9.8)

P.E = 3136 Joules

Hence the potential energy of the cinder block is 3136 Joules

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of (a) 100 V, (b) 1.0 kV

forsale [732]

Answer:

(a) $\lambda=1.227\ A$

(b) $\lambda=0.388\ A$

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) An electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. The De Broglie wavelength in terms of potential difference is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meV} }$

Where

m and e are the mass of and charge on an electron

On solving,

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A$

V = 100 V

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{100} }\ A$

$\lambda=1.227\ A$

(b) V = 1 kV = 1000 V

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A$

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{1000} }\ A$

$\lambda=0.388\ A$

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{10^5} }\ A$

$\lambda=0.038\ A$

Hence, this is the required solution.

ASAP please thank you ! <br> Find O and P

Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

O + 6V = 9V, so O = 3V

P = 9V as it is parallel to the 9V power supply.

A book is sitting on a table at rest. Which of the following best describes the forces acting on the book

ser-zykov [4K]

Gravity is pulling the book towards the center of the earth, and the rebounding effect of the table cancelling out gravity allowing for the book to sit at rest.
