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.

Light striking a metal surface causes electrons to be emitted from the metal via the photoelectric effect.In a particular experi
ANEK [815]

The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.

In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.

Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th
fiasKO [112]
Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where f is the focal length of the mirror, d_o the distance of the object from the mirror, and d_i the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for d_i by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}
d_i = -8.6 cm
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.
