Answer:

2.2N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 379.5J

Height  = 173m

Unknown:

Amount of force exerted on the sled  = ?

Solution:

The amount of force she exerted on the sled is the same as her weight.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance.

      Work done  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

     mg  = weight;

        Work done  = weight x h

           379.5 = weight  x  173

           weight  = \frac{379.5}{173}   = 2.2N

The rms speed of the molecules in 1.3 g of hydrogen gas is 1600 m/s.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.3  g = 1.3 / 2 = .65 moles of hydrogen .

.65 moles = 6.02 x 10²³  x .65 molecules

Translational kinetic energy of one molecule = 1/2 mc² where c is rms speed = 1/2 x 2 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x ( 1600 )² = 42752 x 10⁻²⁵ J

Translational kinetic energy of .65  moles = 6.02 x 10²³  x .65 x 42752 x 10⁻²⁵ J

= 1673 J  approx .

B )  Total thermal energy and total translational kinetic energy are same so

Thermal energy of gas = 1673 J

C )  Net content of thermal energy = 1673 + 500 - 2000 = 173 J  

If c be the rms speed

  1/2 x 2 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x .65 x  6.02 x 10²³ c² =  173

6.534 x 10⁻⁴ c² = 173

c² = 264769

c = 514.56 m /s

True or false. On a distance-versus-time graph, a speed of zero would appear as a horizontal line.
lidiya [134]

Yes, that's a true statement.

The slope of a distance-time graph is speed.  When speed is zero,
the slope of the graph is zero, and that's a horizontal line.

Does wavelength affect the energy of a wave?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Not quite

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength

What determines the strength of a wave?

Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

So,

As Wavelength increases, The energy of the wave spreads and it decreases

A mass of 2000 kg is raised 5.0 m in 10 seconds. What is the kinetic energy of the mass at this height?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

The mass is not moving, therefore the kinetic energy is 0.

(I had this same question and the answer is 0)
