Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

A 65-kg person stands on a scale in a moving elevator while holding a 5.0 kg mass suspended from a massless spring with spring c
disa [49]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, I believe, it is asking for the acceleration of the elevator. This is 3.16 m/s².

Explanation:

By Hooke's law, F = ke

F is the force on a spring, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression.

From the question,

F = (1.08\text{ kN/m}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}) = 64.8 \text{ N}

This is the force on the mass suspended on the spring. Its acceleration, a, is given by

F = ma

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{64.8 \text{ N}}{5\text{ kg}} = 12.96\text{ m/s}^2

This acceleration is more than the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s². Hence the elevator must be moving up with an acceleration of

12.96 - 9.8 m/s² = 3.16 m/s²

A pendulum has 895 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
LuckyWell [14K]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system  remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed  from one form to the other.

Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.

Mathematically also potential energy is represented as

Potential energy= mgh

Where m is the mass of the pendulum.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height from the bottom z the ground.

At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.

The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as

Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2

Where m is the mass of the pendulum

v is the velocity of the pendulum

At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.

Also as it has been mentioned energy can neither be created nor destroyed hence the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and would be equivalent to 895 J.

A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?
ASHA 777 [7]

The complete question is: A student draws a picture of the products and reactants of a chemical reaction. What, if anything, is wrong with the drawing?

A) The drawing is wrong because there are more chemicals on the products side.

B) The drawing is correct because there are 12 compounds on each side of the arrow.

C) The drawing is wrong because there are different compounds on each side of the arrow.

D) The drawing is correct because there are 12 atoms of each type on each side of the arrow.

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

In the diagram attached below, it can be seen that there are 12 atoms of element which combine with 12 atoms of another element forming a compound. For the drawing to be correct, there should be 12 atoms of each type of element on both the reactants as well as product side, which is the case. There cannot be imbalance in the number of atoms of different elements on the two sides for a chemical reaction to occur.

Hence, option D is correct.

According to newton, doubling the distance between two interacting objects:
Furkat [3]

Answer:

So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. If the separation distance between two objects is doubled (increased by a factor of 2), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 4 (2 raised to the second power).
