Answer:
1800J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of the book = 20N
Total distance covered = 45m + 15m + 30m = 90m
Unknown:
Total work performed on the books = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem we must understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.
So;
Work done = Force x distance
Work done = 20 x 90 = 1800J
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, in an isolated system, energy remains constant and can not be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another. This law was created by Julius Robert Mayer.
The equation for the de Broglie wavelength is:
<span>λ = (h/mv) √[1-(v²/c²)], </span>
<span>where h is Plank's Constant, m is the rest mass, v is velocity, and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. However, if c>>v (and it is, in this case) then the expression under the radical sign approaches 1, and the equation simplifies to: </span>
<span>λ = h/mv. </span>
<span>Substituting, (remember to convert the mass to kg, since 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²): </span>
<span>λ = (6.63x10^-34 J·s) / (0.0459 kg) (72.0 m/s) = 2.00x10^-34 m.</span>
