A carpenter lifts a 10 kg piece of wood to his shoulder 1.5 m above the ground. What is the wood's potential energy on the carpe

nter's shoulder? (*Hint: "g" is the acceleration due to gravity of an object on Earth. G = 10 m/s^2)

Answer:

The wood's potential energy on the carpenter's shoulder is 150 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wood, m = 10 kg

height through which the wood was raised, h = 1.5 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

The  wood's potential energy on the carpenter's shoulder is calculated as;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 10 x 10 x 1.5

P.E = 150 J

Therefore, the wood's potential energy on the carpenter's shoulder is 150 J.

Why are infrared waves located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum?
dangina [55]

Answer: The infra red waves is located between microwave and visible light based on their WAVELENGTH and FREQUENCY of occurrence.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require or need a material medium for its propagation, but they are able to travel through a vacuum. They exhibit or show all properties associated or connected with light. They are undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of their FREQUENCY and WAVELENGTHS which is known as ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.

FREQUENCY is defined as the number of cycles which the wave completes in one second and is measured in Hertz(Hz). While WAVELENGTH is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of waves which is measured in meter (m).

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the following rays which is arranged from the biggest wavelengths to the smallest:

--> Radiowaves

--> microwave :

--> infrared rays:

--> visible light:

--> ultraviolet rays

--> x-rays and

--> Gamma rays.

According to the arrangement of the spectrum above, the microwave has a higher wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays, while the visible light has a lower wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays.

A boat moves with a speed of +2.5 m/s in a direction 25° north of east. If the mass of the boat is 15,000 kg, what is the moment
nadya68 [22]
Momentum - mass in motion
P=MV
P=(15,000 kg)(2.5 m/s)
P=37 500 kg x m/s to the north

What would you predict for this elephant's stride frequency? That is, how many steps per minute will the elephant take?
Sonja [21]
<span>` You can consider T to be in units of seconds/step. Frequency is the inverse of period, so 
1/T = frequency and has units of steps per second. There will be 60 times as many steps in a minute.</span>
