That's true.

They're radio waves, at the frequency of 2.45 GHz (in all microwave appliances manufactured in the US).

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of 28.9
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

a = 0.016 m/s^2

the airplane's acceleration is 0.016 m/s^2

Explanation:

Applying the equation of motion;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as ........1

Where;

v = final velocity = 47.5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 28.9 m/s

a = acceleration

s = displacement = 45300m

From equation 1, making a the subject of formula;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

2as = v^2 - u^2

a = (v^2 - u^2)/2s

Substituting the given values;

a = (47.5^2 - 28.9^2)/(2×45300)

a = 0.015684768211 m/s^2

a = 0.016 m/s^2

the airplane's acceleration is 0.016 m/s^2

A 700-N man jumps out of a window into a fire net 10 m below. The net stretches 2 m before
dangina [55]

Answer:

The maximum potential energy of the net, compared to its unstretched potential energy, is:    E_{mn} -E_{un}  =   8400J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  weight of the man is  W_m  =  700 \ N

    The distance of the window to the net is  d = 10 \ m

    The distance stretched by net is  D =  2 \ m

Generally from the of conservation energy , the total energy is conserved

This implies that

      E_m__{i} + E_{un} =  E_m__{f}} +  E_{mn}

Where E_m__{i}} is the initial potential energy of the , man which is mathematically evaluated as

         E_m__{i}} =  W_m * d

Substituting values

       E_m__{i}} = 700 *10

       E_m__{i}} = 7000 \ J

And  E_{un} is the unstretched potential energy of the net

 And  E_m__{f}} is the final potential energy of the man which is mathematically evaluated as

           E_m__{f}} =  - W_m * D

Substituting values  

          E_m__{f}} =  - 700 * 2

          E_m__{f}} =  - 1400

The negative show that the direction of the man  is against the direction of gravitational pull

And    E_{mn} is  the maximum potential energy of the net when stretched

So the above equation becomes

            7000 + E_{un} = - 1400  +  E_{mn}

So  

       E_{mn} -E_{un}  =    7000 + 1400

        E_{mn} -E_{un}  =   8400J

A gas is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 40 in2 and weight of 100 lbf. The atmo
kompoz [17]

Answer:

ΔU=0.8834 Btu

Explanation:

Given data

Area of piston A=40 in²

The weight W=100 lbf

Atmospheric Pressure P=14.7 lbf/in²

Work added E=3 Btu

The change in elevation Δh=1 ft =12 inch

To find

Change in internal energy of the gas ΔU

Solution

For Piston

ΔPE=| W+(P×A)×Δh |

ΔPE=| 100+(14.7×40)×12 |

ΔPE=8256 lbf.in

ΔPE=8256×0.000107

ΔPE=0.8834 Btu

From law of conservation of energy then ,the charging in the potential energy of the piston is made by exerting force by gas

Wgas= -ΔPE

Wgas= -0.8834 Btu

For the gas as a system and by applying first law of thermodynamics

Q-W=ΔU

0-(-0.8834 Btu)=ΔU

So

ΔU=0.8834 Btu
