Answer:

D potential energy at the top of the stairs, kinetic energy as she walks down

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of the body.

At the top of the stair case, the student is at a significant height.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of the body.

As the student descends, the potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.

 To find the potential energy;

          P.E  = mgH

 m is the mass

 g is the acceleration due to gravity

 H is the height of the body

 To find the kinetic energy;

         K.E  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

   m is the mass

   v is the velocity

How many photons will be required to raise the temperature of 1.8 g of water by 2.5 k ?'?
tatyana61 [14]
Missing part in the text of the problem: 
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>

First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/(g K) is the specific heat capacity of the water
\Delta T=2.5 K is the increase in temperature.

Substituting the data, we find
Q=(1.8 g)(4.18 J/(gK))(2.5 K)=18.8 J=E

We know that each photon carries an energy of
E_1 = hf
where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:
\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^{-6} m}=1 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is
E_1 = hf =(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} J)(1 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{18.8 J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J} =2.84 \cdot 10^{20} photons
