How long would it take a 4,560 watt motor to raise a 166 kg piano to an apartment window

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation here:

P = W/t where W is work and is defined as

W = F*displacement.

Force is a measure in Newtons, which is also weight. We have the mass of the piano, but we need to find the weight:

w = mg so

w = 166(9.8) so

w = 1600N, rounded to the correct number of sig dig. We use that now in the power equation:

$4560=\frac{(1600)(15)}{t}$ and isolating the unknown:

$t=\frac{(1600)(15)}{4560}$ so

t = 5.3 seconds

The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental

pav-90 [236]

A) $5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

The energy of an x-ray photon used for single dental x-rays is

$E=25 keV = 25,000 eV \cdot (1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=4\cdot 10^{-15} J$

The energy of a photon is related to its wavelength by the equation

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

$h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js$ is the Planck constant

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

Re-arranging the equation for the wavelength, we find

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4\cdot 10^{-15}J}=5.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

B) $2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

The energy of an x-ray photon used in microtomography is 2.5 times greater than the energy of the photon used in part A), so its energy is

$E=2.5 \cdot (4\cdot 10^{-15}J)=1\cdot 10^{-14} J$

And so, by using the same formula we used in part A), we can calculate the corresponding wavelength:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1\cdot 10^{-14}J}=2.0\cdot 10^{-11} m$

First step in using a balance beam scale?

prohojiy [21]

To find out the weight of the object, you'll need to slide the weight poises until the pointer is at zero again. Start with the two heavier weight poises and then use the lightest one to do the fine tuning. Our triple beam balance and the Ohaus triple beam balance are accurate to 0.1 grams.
