The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world at 828 m. How much work would a man with a weight of 700 N do if he climbe

d to the top of the building
Physics
1 answer:
8090 [49]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

579600J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of the building  = 828m

Weight of the man  = 700N

Unknown:

Work done by the man  = ?

Solution:

The work done by the man is the same as the potential energy expended.

Work done:

            Work done  = Weight x height  = 700 x 828

       Work done  = 579600J

A 300 g bird flying along at 6.0 m/s sees a 10 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 30 m/s. the bird opens its mo
Bumek [7]

Answer:

<em>6.77m/s</em>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses of the object

u1 and u2 are the velocities before collision

v is the final collision

Given

m1 = 300g  = 0.3kg

u1 = 6.0m/s

m2 = 10g = 0.01kg

u2 = 30m/s

Required

The bird's speed immediately after swallowing v

Substitute the given values into the formula

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.3(6) + 0.01(30) = (0.3+0.01)v

1.8+0.3 = 0.31v

2.1 = 0.31v

v = 2.1/0.31

<em>v = 6.77m/s</em>

<em>Hence the bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 6.77m/s</em>

A mercury barometer reads 745.0 mm on the roof of a building and 760.0 mm on the ground. Assuming a constant value of 1.29 kg/m3
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The height of the building is 158.140 meters.

Explanation:

A barometer is system that helps measuring atmospheric pressure. Manometric pressure is the difference between total and atmospheric pressures. Manometric pressure difference is directly proportional to fluid density and height difference. That is:

\Delta P \propto \rho \cdot \Delta h

\Delta P = k \cdot \rho \cdot \Delta h

Where:

\Delta P - Manometric pressure difference, measured in kilopascals.

\rho - Fluid density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\Delta h - Height difference, measured in meters.

Now, an equivalent height difference with a different fluid can be found by eliminating manometric pressure and proportionality constant:

\rho_{air} \cdot \Delta h_{air} = \rho_{Hg} \cdot \Delta h_{Hg}

\Delta h_{air} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{air}} \cdot \Delta h_{Hg}

Where:

\Delta h_{air} - Height difference of the air column, measured in meters.

\Delta h_{Hg} - Height difference of the mercury column, measured in meters.

\rho_{air} - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\rho_{Hg} - Density of mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

If \Delta h_{Hg} = 0.015\,m, \rho_{air} = 1.29\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} and \rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, the height difference of the air column is:

\Delta h_{air} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1.29\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }\times (0.015\,m)

\Delta h_{air} = 158.140\,m

The height of the building is 158.140 meters.

Why do some astronomers object to the new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.

Explanation:

The new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, defined planet as  an object that orbits the sun, with sufficient mass to be round, not a satellite of another object, and has removed debris and small objects from the area around its orbit.

This new definition of a planet that was adopted in 2006, classified Pluto as "dwarf planet", because Pluto meets planetary criteria except that it has not cleared debris from its orbital neighborhood.

However, new Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto in 2015, revealed that Pluto is much larger than originally thought

Therefore, the correct option is "A"

A. New space missions show that Pluto is much larger than originally thought.

To heat the house, the boiler transfers 15 MJ of energy in 10 minutes.
Harrizon [31]

The formula is P = E/t, where P means power in watts, E means energy j , and t means time in seconds. This formula states that power is the consumption of energy per unit of time.

P = 15 M / 10*60

M = mega = 10⁶

15 *10⁶ / 600

= 25000 watt
