Explanation:

Remember that power is defined as how much Work is done per unit of time.

P = \frac{dW}{dt}

Work is defined as the amount of force applied across a certain distance.  

W = F*d

Since in both cases of climbing the ladder (on Earth and the moon), Luke coveres the same amount of <em>distance </em>in the same amount of <em>time</em>, we are only left with one difference between the two cases - gravity.

If you were to carry your backpack on the moon with the same load of text books, it would take less force to pick it up on the moon. Therefore, Luke expends less effort on the environment with less gravity - the moon.

To find the difference factor - you would want to divid the gravitational contants between earth and the moon.

Answer:

It takes 6.125 times as much work on Earth as it does on the moon.

Explanation:

Formulas

The power formula is

P = Work / Time

Work = Force * distance

Givens

d = 3.0 meters

t = 5.0 seconds

g = 9.8 m/s^2 on earth

g = 1.8 m/s^2 on the moon

Solution

<u>Earth</u>

Work  = F * d

Work = m* a * 3.0 m

Work = m *9.8 * 3.0

Work = m * 29.4

Power = (Work * 29.4)/5

Power = 29.4/5 * m

Power = 5.88 watts.

<u>Moon</u>

You follow the same procedure except you use 1.6 for a.

Work = m * 1.6 * 3

Work = 4.8*m Joules

Power = 4.8 * m/ 5

Power = 0.96 * m Watts

P_earth/Power_moon = 5.88 * m / 0.96 * m = 6.125

Power =

In the two-slit experiment, monochromatic light of frequency 5.00 × 1014 Hz passes through a pair of slits separated by 2.20 × 1
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of monochromatic light, f=5\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Separation between slits, d=2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m

(a) The condition for maxima is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

For third maxima,

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{nc}{fd})  

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{3\times 3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{14}\ Hz\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m})  

\theta=4.69^{\circ}

(b) For second dark fringe, n = 2

d\ sin\theta=(n+1/2)\lambda

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5c}{2df})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\times 5\times 10^{14}})

\theta=3.90^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

You drop a batitin a stationary elevator and the ball hits the floor in o 50 s. How long does it take for the ball to hit the fl
solmaris [256]

Answer:

option (a) 0.61 s

Explanation:

Given;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground  = 0.50 s

Let us first calculate the distance through which the ball falls on the ground

from the Newton's equation of motion, we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

here it is the case of free fall

thus, a = g = acceleration due to gravity

u =  initial speed of the ball = 0

on substituting the values, we get

s=0\times 0.50+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times0.50^2

or

s = 1.225 m

Now,

when the elevator is moving up with speed of 1.0 m/s

the initial speed of the ball = -1.0 m/s   (as the elevator is moving in upward direction)

thus , we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

or

1.225=-1.0\times\ t+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8t^2

or

4.9t^2 - t  - 1.225 = 0

or

t = 0.612 s

hence, the correct answer is option (a) 0.61 s

What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300
Vinvika [58]
The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
\eta = 1-  \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}
where
T_{cold} is the temperature of the cold region
T_{hot} is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have T_{cold}=300 K and T_{hot}=400 K, so the efficiency is
\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25
