A skier rides a ski-lift up to the top of the mountain, 1600 m above sea level. If the skier has a mass of 74 kg, how much poten

tial energy does the skier have at the top of the hill (assuming PE = 0 J is at sea level)?

3 0

Answer:

I think it is 1.16 MJ

Explanation:

PE=mgh

PE=(74)(9.81)(1600)= 1,161,504J = 1.16MJ

solution:

radius of steel ball(r)=5cm=0.05m

density of ball =8000kgm

terminal velocity(v)=25m/s^2

density of air( d) =1.29 kgm

now

volume of ball(V)=4/3pir^3=1.33×3.14×0.05^3=0.00052 m^3

density of ball= mass of ball/Volume of ball

or, 8000=m/0.00052

or, m=4.16 kg

weight of the ball (W)= mg=4.16×10=41.6 N

viscous force(F)=6 × pi × eta × r × v

=6×3.14×eta×0.05×25

=23.55×eta

To attain the terminal velocity,

Fiscous force=Weight

or, 23.55× eta = 41.6

or, eta = 1.76

whete eta is the coefficient of viscosity.

Silver has a work function of 4.5 eV . Part A What is the longest wavelength of light that will release an electron from a silve
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm</u>

Is our body in thermal equilibrium with the environment ?​
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The human body runs at a constant 37 ºC but the air around you at room temperature is about 20-25 ºC which means heat is constantly leaving your body to warm your surroundings and maintain thermal equilibrium. You don't lose much energy doing this however as air heats reasonably quickly

A block–spring system vibrating on a frictionless, horizontal surface with an amplitude of 7.0 cm has an energy of 14 J. If the
Bingel [31]

Answer:

E_T= 28J

Explanation:

The energy of Mass-Spring System the sum of the potential energy of the block plus the kinetic energy of the block:

E_T=U+K=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2+\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where:

\Delta x=Amplitude\hspace{3}or\hspace{3}d eformation\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} spring\\m=Mass\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}block\\k=Constant\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}spring\\v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}block

There are two cases, the first case is when the spring is compressed to its maximum value, in this case the value of the kinetic energy is zero, since there is no speed, so:

E_T=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2\\\\14=\frac{1}{2} k7^2\\\\Solving\hspace{3} for\hspace{3} k\\\\k=\frac{28}{49} =\frac{4}{7}

The second case is when the block passes through its equilibrium position, in this case the elastic potential energy is zero since \Delta x=0, so:

E_T=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\14=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\Solving\hspace{3} for\hspace{3} v\\\\v^2=\frac{28}{m}

Now, let's find the energy of the system when the block is replaced by one whose mass is twice the mass of the original block using the previous data:

E_T=U+K=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2

Where in this case:

m_2=New\hspace{3}mass=Twice\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} mass \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} original=2m

Therefore:

E_T=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{7} ) (7^2)+\frac{1}{2} (2m)(\frac{28}{m_2})=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{7} ) (7^2)+\frac{1}{2} (2m)(\frac{28}{2m})=14+14=28J
