Answer:

7056 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ship roller coaster is 36,000 kg.

It reaches a height of 20 m off the ground

We need to find the gravitational potential energy does it have. The formula for the gravitational potential energy ios given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 36,000 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

= 7056000 J

or

E = 7056 kJ

So, it will have 7056 kJ of gravitational potential energy.

(3) 8.3 N/kg. The gravitational field strength at a point is the force per unit mass exerted on a mass placed at that point. So at the point where the Hubble telescope is, it is (9.1 x 10^4)N/(1.1 x 10^4 kg) = 8.3 N/kg

In an experiment different wavelengths of light, all able to eject photoelectrons, shine on a freshly prepared (oxide-free) zinc
topjm [15]

Answer:

the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f> = Ф

Explanation:

In this experiment on the photoelectric effect, it is explained by the Einstein relation that considers the light beam formed by discrete energy packages.

                    K_max = h f - Ф

in the exercise phase, they indicate that different wavelengths can inject electrons, so the energy of the photons is greater than the work function of the zinc oxide.

                     h f > = Ф
