In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

is 16.6 cm tall. It takes 5 minutes and 30 seconds for a person with a mass of 73.5 kg to walk all the way up. How much work did the person do?

Answer:

W = 16.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor.

Each step is 16.6 cm tall.

The mass of a person, m = 73.5 kg

We need to find the work done by the person. We know that,

Work done = Fd

Where

d is the displacement, d = 135 × 0.166 = 22.41

So,

W = 73.5 × 10 × 22.41

= 16471.35  J

or

W = 16.4 kJ

So, 16.4 kJ is the work done by the person.

A net force of 24 N is acting on a 4.0-kg object. Find the acceleration in m/s2.
Inessa [10]

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:
\Sigma F = ma

ΣF = Net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the acceleration.

a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\\\\a = \frac{24}{4} = \boxed{6 \frac{m}{s^2}}

Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

\lambda_w = 492 nm

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}

f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

\mu_w = 4/3

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}

\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}

\lambda_w = 492 nm

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

\mu_w = 3/2

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}

\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}

v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}

v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}

v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The change in temperature is \Delta T  = 1795 K

Explanation:

From the question we  are told that

   The temperature coefficient is  \alpha  =  4 * 10^{-3 }\  k^{-1 }

The resistance of the filament is mathematically represented as

           R  =  R_o [1 + \alpha  \Delta T]

Where R_o is the initial resistance

Making the change in temperature the subject of the formula

     \Delta T = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{R}{R_o} - 1 ]

Now from ohm law

           I = \frac{V}{R}

This implies that current varies inversely with current so

           \frac{R}{R_o} = \frac{I_o}{I}

Substituting this we have

       \Delta T  = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{I} - 1 ]

From the question we are told that

    I  = \frac{I_o}{8}

Substituting this we have

   \Delta T  = \frac{1}{\alpha } [\frac{I_o}{\frac{I_o}{8} } - 1 ]

=>     \Delta T  = \frac{1}{3.9 * 10^{-3}} (8 -1 )

        \Delta T  = 1795 K
