Answer: 4,998 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by

$E_p=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the heigth of the object with respect to a reference point

In this problem, m=68 kg, g=9.8 m/s^2, and h=7.5 m is the heigth of the diver with respect to the surface of the pool. Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the diver with respect to the surface of the pool is

$E=mgh=(68 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(7.5 m)=4,998 J$

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 45m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= -7 \ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

$a= \frac {v_f-v_i}{t}$

The object accelerates <em>from</em> 45 meters per second <em>to </em>10 meters per second in 5 seconds. Therefore,

$v_f=10 \ m/s \\v_i= 45 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a= \frac{ 10 \ m/s - 45 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Solve the numerator.

$a= \frac { -35 \ m/s}{5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= -7 \ m/s/s$

$a= -7 \ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is -7 meters per square second. The acceleration is negative because the object's velocity decreases and the object slows down.

what is the thickness of the central portion of a thin conveying lens can be determined very accurately by using (a) vernier cal

beks73 [17]

Option B The thickness of the central portion of a thin conveying lens can be determined very accurately by using a micrometer screw gauge.

<h3>What can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?</h3>

One micrometer of thickness can be measured with a micron micrometre screw gauge. A Use of Micrometer Screw Gauge as like example Upon turning the screw of the micrometer screw gauge four times, a 2 mm space is covered.

<h3>What purposes does a micrometer serve?</h3>

A tool known as a micrometer is used to measure solid objects’ lengths, thicknesses, and other dimensions precisely and linearly.

<h3>What is the micrometer screw gauge’s SI unit?</h3>

The SI symbol m is also known as a micron, which is an SI-derived unit of length equaling 1106 meters, where 106 is the SI standard prefix for the prefix “micro-.” A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter.

Two containers (A and B) are in thermal contact with an environment at temperature T = 280 K. The two containers are connected b

zmey [24]

Answer:

The maximum amount of work is $W = 1563.289 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the environment is $T = 280\ K$

The volume of container A is $V_A = 2 m^3$

Initially the number of moles is $n = 1.2 \ moles$

The volume of container B is $V_B = 3.5 \ m^3$

At equilibrium of the gas the maximum work that can be done on the turbine is mathematically represented as

$W = P_A V_A ln[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Now from the Ideal gas law

$P_A V_A = nRT$

So substituting for $P_A V_A$ in the equation above

$W = nRT ln [\frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Where R is the gas constant with a values of $R = 8.314 \ J/mol$

Substituting values we have that

$W = 1.2 * (8.314) * (280) * ln [\frac{3.5}{2} ]$

$W = 1563.289 \ J$
