Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The initial PE (PE)_i = m×g×h

= 5 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 10 m

= 490.5 J

The change in Potential energy P.E of the box is:

ΔP.E = P.E_f -P.E_i

ΔP.E = 0 - (PE)_i

ΔP.E = -P.E_i

If we take a look at conservation of total energy for determining the change in the internal energy of the box;

\Delta P.E + \Delta K.E + \Delta U = 0

\Delta U = -\Delta P.E - \Delta K.E

this can be re-written as:

\Delta U =- (-\Delta P.E_i) - \Delta K.E

Here, K.E = 0

Also, 70% goes into raising the internal energy for the box;

Thus,

\Delta U =(70\%) \Delta P.E_i-0

\Delta U =(0.70) (490.5)

ΔU = 343.35  J

Thus, the magnitude of the increase is = 343.35 J

In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is a photon found that possesses twice as much energy as one in the blue region (
iren2701 [21]
<span>The answer is: ultraviolet The energy (E) of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency f, by Planck's formula: E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.625 * 10**-34 joule-second). The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength w by: f = c/w, where c is the speed of light, 3.0 * 10**8 meters per second. Combine these formulas and we see that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength by: E = hc/w If the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength, a photon with twice the energy has half the wavelength of our 442-nm. photon in this example. So its wavelength is 221 nm. which is in the ultraviolet range.</span>

If gravity between the Sun and Earth suddenly vanished, Earth would continue moving in
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line

Explanation:

The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:

"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"

This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.

In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.
