Answer:

490000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of boulder  = 1000kg

Height of cliff = 50m

Acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is due to the position of a body. It is expressed as;

        P.E  = mgH

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due gravity

H is the height

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

            P.E  = 1000 x 9.8 x 50  = 490000J

<em><u>Data:  </u></em>

m = 1000 kg

h = 50 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

<em><u>Find:  </u></em>

P.E = ?

<em><u>Formula:  </u></em>

P.E = mgh

<em><u>Solution:  </u></em>

P.E = mgh

P.E = (1000)*(9.8)*(50)

P.E = 490000 J

<em><u>Result: </u></em>

P.E = 490000 Joule

What, exactly, is moving across the medium?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

So waves are everywhere. But what makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities?

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position. The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location. However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.

Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 6.88 × 1014 Hz. The speed of li
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 430 nm.

Explanation:

The relation of wavelength and frequency is:

Formula used : \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency =6.88\times 10^{14}Hz

\lambda = wavelength  = ?

c = speed of light = 3.00\times 10^{8}m/s

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

6.88\times 10^{14}=\frac{3.00\times 10^{8}m/s}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac{3.00\times 10^{8}m/s}{6.88\times 10^{14}}=0.43\times 10^{-6}m=430m        (1nm=10^{-9}m)

Thus the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp is 430 nm.
