Answer:

6000 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = mass*gravity*height (U = m*g*h)

In this case g = 10 so

U = 75*10*8 = 6000 J (joules) [kg * m^2/s^2]

Mkey [24]

Solar heating is the system composed of a fluid system to move the heat from the collector to its point of usage and a reservoir to stock the heat

Explanation:

The options given here like coal burning uses solid material as the source to heat and to generate energy. Similarly, nuclear power also requires solid particles like atoms or neutrons to strike the moderators forming energy.

In both of these cases, fluid system is present but it is used completely as coolant and to maintain the temperature. Thus, the remaining system that is solar heating has been done for water tanks where the fluid as water is used to move the heat from its collector to its point of usage. Even in solar system it is used as reservoir to stock the heat.

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 135{\rm mi} of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65{

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

time spent = 0.2276

Explanation:

given data

distance = 135 mi

usual speed = 65 mph

today speed = 73 mph

solution

we get here time that is express as

time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$ ...................1

usual time = $\frac{135}{65}$ = 2.0769 h

today time = $\frac{135}{73}$ = 1.8493 h

so we get here time spent as

time spent = 2.0769 h - 1.8493 h

time spent = 0.2276

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}$
