Explanation:

The difference of electrical potential between two points is called the potential difference.

It is also defined as the work done in the transfer of a unit quantity of electricity from one point to the other.

The SI unit of electric potential is volt. It is denoted by V.

A man can jump 1.5 m on earth. calculate the approximate

Olegator [25]

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant

m = Mass of planet = $\rho V$

$\rho$ = Density of planet

V = Volume of planet assuming it is a sphere = $\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

r = Radius of planet

Acceleration due to gravity on a planet is given by

$g=\dfrac{Gm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{G\rho V}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{G\rho \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4G\rho\pi r}{3}$

So,

$g\propto \rho r$

Density of other planet = $\rho_p=\dfrac{1}{4}\rho_e$

Radius of other planet = $r_p=\dfrac{1}{3}r_e$

$\dfrac{g_e}{g_p}=\dfrac{\rho_e r_e}{\rho_p r_p}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_e}{g_p}=\dfrac{\rho_e r_e}{\dfrac{1}{4}\rho_e\times \dfrac{1}{3}r_e}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_e}{g_p}=12\\\Rightarrow g_p=\dfrac{g_e}{12}\\\Rightarrow g_p=\dfrac{9.8}{12}$

Since the person is jumping up the acceleration due to gravity will be negative.

From kinematic equations we have

$v^2-u^2=2g_es\\\Rightarrow u^2=v^2-2g_es\\\Rightarrow u^2=0-2\times -9.8\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow u^2=2\times 9.8\times 1.5$

On the other planet

$v^2-u^2=2g_ps\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2g_p}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0-(2\times 9.8\times 1.5)}{2\times -\dfrac{9.8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow s=18\ \text{m}$

The man can jump a height of 18 m on the other planet.

How are systems different from industries? Use an example to support your answer.

jeka94

Answer:

Explanation:

An industrial system consists of inputs, processes and outputs. The inputs are the raw materials, labor and costs of land,transport, power and other infrastructure. The processes include a wide range of activities that convert the raw material into finished products.

Answer:

<h2>Here are some examples of situations involving balanced forces. </h2><h2>Hanging objects. The forces on this hanging crate are equal in size but act in opposite directions.</h2><h2>Floating in water. Objects float in water when their weight is balanced by the upthrust from the water.</h2><h2>Standing on the ground.</h2>

Kaylis [27]

The dependent variable is: <em>"number of vocabulary words subjects can remember"</em>

<h3>Which is the dependent variable?</h3>

In an experiment, we basically see how changing one variable affects another variable.

In this case, the experiment is:

<em>" if sleep affects the number of vocabulary words subjects can remember."</em>

Then the hours of sleep would be the independent variable (the one that the scientist can change) and the number of vocabulary words subjects can remember is the dependent variable (that depends on the independent variable).

So the correct answer is:

<em>"number of vocabulary words subjects can remember"</em>

chubhunter [2.5K]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

If you wish to observe features that around the size of atoms, say 1.5×10⁻¹⁰ m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength about the size of the atom itself.

a) If you had a microscope which was capable of doing this, what would the frequency of electromagnetic radiation be, in hertz that you would have to use?

b) What type of electromagnetic radiation would this be?

Given Information:

Wavelength = λ = 1.5×10⁻¹⁰ m

Required Information:

a) Frequency = f = ?

b) Type of electromagnetic radiation = ?

Answer:

a) Frequency = f = 2×10¹⁸ Hz

b) Type of electromagnetic radiation = X-rays

Explanation:

a) The frequency of the electromagnetic radiation is given by

f = c/ λ

Where λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation and c is the speed of light and its value is 3×10⁸ m/s

f = 3×10⁸/1.5×10⁻¹⁰

f = 2×10¹⁸ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation would be 2×10¹⁸ Hz.

The frequency range of X-rays is 3×10¹⁶ Hz to 3×10¹⁹ Hz

The frequency 2×10¹⁸ lies in that range, therefore, the type of electromagnetic radiation is X-rays
