Answer:

8.829 Joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object, is the energy it posses (the energy stored within the object) by virtue of its relative elevation or height, position, state, or arrangement

The potential energy of an object raised to a given height, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the object

g = The acceleration due to gravity, a constant ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The present height of the object

For the potato sack having a mass, m = 2 kg, and raised to a height, h = 450 cm = 0.45 m, we have;

The potential energy given to the potato sack, by raising its height, P.E. is given as follows;

P.E. = 2 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 0.45 m = 8.829 Joules

The potential energy given to the potato sack, P.E. = 8.829 Joules

A) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

$l_o =52 \ m$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the spaceship is $v = 0.800c$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

The length is $l = 31.2 \ m$

The distance of the star for earth is $d = 145 \ light \ years$

The speed is $v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}$

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

$l = l_o \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Now the when at rest the length is $l_o$

$l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }$

$l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }$

$l_o=52 \ m$

Considering b

Applying above equation

$l =l_o \sqrt{1 - [\frac{v}{c } ]}$

Here $l_o =145 \ LY(light \ years )$

$l=145 * \sqrt{1 - \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }$

$l =145 * \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }$

$l = 37.13 \ LY$

If you are sitting in the back seat of a car that makes a hard left turn, you will feel pushed toward the right side of the car.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

Your body is naturally resisting turning left, as it wants to continue straight. So if feels like you are going right.

Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.

Tcecarenko [31]

The energy of a photon is given by
$E=hf$
where
$h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is
$f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
$E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J$
