By the work-energy theorem, the total work done on the mass as it swings is

W = ∆K = 1/2 (18 kg) (17 m/s)² = 153 J

No work is done by the tension in the string, since it's directed perpendicular to the mass at every point in the arc. Similarly, the component of the mass's weight mg pointing perpendicular to the arc also performs no work.

If we ignore friction/drag for the moment, the only remaining force is the parallel component of weight, which performs mgh = (176.4 N) h of work, where h is the vertical distance between points A and B.

Now, if w is the amount of work done by friction/air resistance, then

(176.4 N) h - w = 153 J

If you know the starting height h, then you can solve for w.

What is the frequency of a radio wave with an energy of 3.686 × 10−24 j/photon?answer in units of hz?

Makovka662 [10]

To solve this problem, we have to use the formula:

E = h f

where E is total energy, h is Plancks constant 6.626x10^-34 J s, f is frequency

f = E / h

f = 3.686 × 10−24 J / (6.626x10^-34 J s)

f = 5.56 x 10^9 Hz

You place a point charge q = -4.00 nC a distance of 9.00 cm from an infinitely long, thin wire that has linear charge density 3.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of point charge, $q=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C$

radial distance from the linear charge, $r=0.09\ m$

linear charge density, $\lambda=3\times 10^{-9}\ C.m^{-1}$

We know that the electric field by the linear charge is given as:

$E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi.\epsilon_0.r}$

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 10^9\times \frac{3\times10^{-9}}{0.09}$

$E=150\ N.C^{-1}$

Now the force on the given charge can be given as:

$F=E.q$

$F=150\times 4\times 10^{-9}$

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Conduction circulates heat throughout the atmosphere. True or False Help!!

katrin2010 [14]

Energy is transferred between the ground and the atmosphere via conduction.
Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction occurs right at the earth's surface
