Answer:

<em>113.4 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy</u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

The spring has a natural length of 0.7 m and a spring constant of k=70 N/m. When the spring is stretched to a length of 2.5 m, the change of length is

Δx = 2.5 m - 0.7 m = 1.8 m

The energy stored in the spring is:

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}70(1.8)^2

PE = 113.4 J

What is the energy range (in joules) of photons of wavelength 410 nm to 750 nm ? Express your answers using two significant figu
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

4.9 x 10^-19 J, 2.7 x 10^-19 J

Explanation:

first wavelength, λ1 = 410 nm = 410 x 10^-9 m

Second wavelength, λ2 = 750 nm = 750 x 10^-9 m

The relation between the energy and the wavelength is given by

E = h c / λ

Where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light.

h = 6.63 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

So, energy correspond to first wavelength

E1 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (410 x 10^-9) = 4.85 x 10^-19 J

E1 = 4.9 x 10^-19 J

So, energy correspond to second wavelength

E2 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (750 x 10^-9) = 2.652 x 10^-19 J

E2 = 2.7 x 10^-19 J

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.
