Answer: a. 667N

b. 665N

c. 54.5N

Explanation:

a) on the surface of the earth

W = mg

W = 68 × 9.81

= 667N

b) at the top of Everest (8848 m above sea level).

W =mg × R²/(R + H)²

W = 667 × [6378²/(6378 + 8.848)²

W = 665N

c) has 2 1/2 times the radius of the earth

W = mg × R²/(R + H)²

W = 667 × R²/(R + 2.5R)²

W = 54.5N

If we were to illuminate them only with light from the Balmer transition considered above, would the solar panels produce a curr

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reason why no current is produced are basically that, the wavelengths of light in the Balmer transition are reflected, not absorbed in solar panels, hence no current is produced.

The Balmer series consists of lines in the visible spectrum. It corresponds to emission of a photon of light when electrons descend from higher energy levels to the n=2 level in the hydrogen spectrum. The various wavelengths in the Balmer series can be separated by a prism since they are all in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In solar panels, light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series is merely reflected by the panel and not absorbed. Since light is not absorbed, no current can be produced when the panel is irradiated with light corresponding to the wavelengths in the Balmer series.

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr

Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration $a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ directed downward, initial vertical position $d=750 m$ , and initial vertical velocity $v_0 = 0$ . We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

$v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad$

substituting, we find

$v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s$

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

$v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s$

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting $v_f$ with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:
