A chocolate bar has nutritional energy content of 100KJ. If an 50kg mountain climber eats this chocolate bar and converts it all

to potential energy. What altitude(height) can she climb on a mountain using this energy? Consider g=10m/s^2

Answer:

h = 200 m

Explanation:

The energy content of the chocolate is completely converted to the potential energy of the climber. Therefore:

Energy\ of\ Chocolate = Potential\ Energy\\Energy\ of\ Chocolate = mgh

where,

m = mass of climber = 50 kg

Energy of Chocolate = 100 KJ = 100000 J

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

h = height = ?

Therefore,

100000\ J = (50\ kg)(10\ m/s^2)h\\\\h = \frac{100000\ J}{500\ N}

<u>h = 200 m</u>

Two very small spheres are initially neutral and separated by a distance of 0.30 m. Suppose that 2.50 1013 electrons are removed
quester [9]

Answer:

F = - 1,598 10⁻³ N

Explanation:

Electic strength is given by Coulomb's law

          F = k q₁ q₂  / r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant that is worth 8.99 10⁸ N m²/C², q₁ and q₂ are the charges and r is the distance that separates the electric charges

In this case the charge of the two spheres is the same and of a different sign since when you remove the charge of a sphere that was initially neutral, it is left with that charge removed but of the opposite sign

       q₁ = q₂ = 2.50 10¹³ electrons = 2.50 10¹³ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

       q₀ = 4.0 10⁻⁶ C

Let's calculate

       F = - 8.99 10⁸ (4.0 10⁻⁶)² / 0.30²

       F = - 1,598 10⁻³ N

Even at such low fractions of the speed of light these stars are moving quite quickly (thousands of kilometers a second) compare
yulyashka [42]
According to Doppler Effect, an observer at rest will perceive a shift in the wavelength or frequency of the radiation emitted by a source in movement.This shift is given by the formula:
\frac{ \lambda - \lambda_{0} }{ \lambda_{0} } = \frac{-v}{c}

where:
\lambda = observed wavelength
\lambda_{0} = wavelength at rest
v = speed of source (positive if towards the observer, negative if away from the observer)
c = speed of light

Therefore, we can solve for the observed wavelength:
\lambda = \lambda_{0} (\frac{-v}{c}) + \lambda_{0} \\ \lambda = \lambda_{0} (1 - \frac{v}{c})

Substituting the given data:
\lambda = 656.46 (1 - \frac{300}{299792})
= 655.80 nm

Hence, the observed wavelength of the line would be 655.80 nm. Note that this value is smaller than the one at rest, which means that we have a blue-shift, as expected for an approaching source.

A diver running 1.8 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water below 3s later. How high
Marysya12 [62]

We use kinematic equation,

h=ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here, h is vertical height, u is initial vertical velocity, t is time taken and g is acceleration due to gravity.

As diver dives out horizontally, his velocity is directed horizontally; that is, the initial vertical velocity is 0. So above equation becomes

h=\frac{1}{2} gt^2

Given, t =3 s.

Therefore,

h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8m/s^2(3\ s)^2 =0.5\times 9.8 m/s^2\times 9 s^2\\\\h=44.1\ m.

Now the horizontal distance of the diver to hit the water from base,  

=1.8\ m/s \times 3\ s=5.4\ m

A force of 6N is exerted on a cart that is carrying a rock and produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2. If the cart has a mass of 1 k
vaieri [72.5K]
If you use the equation F=ma and re-arrange it to get m = F/a, you'll get the total mass. Then you have to subtract the mass of the cart from the total mass to get the mass of the rock. 

Thus, m = 6N over 2m/s^2. The total mass will then be 3kg. Subtracting 1kg from the total mass will then yield you 2kg, which is the mass of the rock. Hope this helps.
