Yes it is work because when you throw a ball, you transfer energy to it and it moves.

A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with

scoray [572]

Answer:

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height = ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

$-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2$

$- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2$

$-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2$

$-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )$

= $( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2$

= $-2.50625\times10^7 J$

$=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7$

$R+h=31.92\times10^{6}$

$h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6$

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

What conventions are used in SI to indicate units

klemol [59]

Answer:

<u>Conventions used in SI to indicate units are as follows:</u>

Only singular form of units are used. for example: use kg and not kgs.
Do not use full stop after the abbreviations of any unit. for example: do not use kg. or cm.
Use one space between last numeric digit and SI unit. for example: 10 cm, 9 km.
Symbols and words should not be mixed. for example: use Kilogram per cubic and not kilogram/m3.
While writing numerals, only the symbols of the units should be written. for example: use 10 cm and not Ten cm.
Units named after a scientist should be written in small letters. for example: newton, henry.
Degree sign should not be used when the kelvin unit is used. for exmaple: use 37° and not 37°k

5. A single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen. The 5th minimum occurs at 7.00° aw

abruzzese [7]

For a single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen,the angle is mathematically given as

theta=25.3

Option A is correct

<h3> What angle does the 18th minimum occur?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the the angle is mathematically given as

$\theta=n(\lambda/d)$

Therefore

$\theta 1/ \theta 2=n1(\lambda/d)/ n2(\lambda/d)$

In conclusion

theta/7=16/5

theta=10*7/5

theta=25.3
