Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]

Explanation:

We must remember the principle of conservation of energy which tells us that energy is transformed from one way to another. For this case, the initial kinetic energy is transformed into useful work that is equal to the product of force by distance.

$E_{k}=F*d\\400 = 8000*d\\d = 0.05 [m] = 50 [mm]$

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration

melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.

Plain electromagnetic wave (in air) has a frequency of 1 MHz and its B-field amplitude is 9 nT a. What is the wavelength in air?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that frequency = 1 MHz

speed of electromagnetic wave is same as speed of light

So the wavelength is given as

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

$\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^6}$

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

As we know the relation between electric field and magnetic field

$E = Bc$

$E = (9 \times 10^{-9})(3\times 10^8)$

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

Intensity of wave is given as

$I = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2c$

$I = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(2.7)^2(3\times 10^8)$

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

Pressure is defined as ratio of intensity and speed

$P = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{9.68\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 10^8}$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

A wave has an amplitude of 0.2 cm.

Anettt [7]

The distance between the resting point and maximum height of the wave is 0.2 cm.

The amplitude is measured from the resting point up to the highest point of the wave.

To find out the kinetic friction, using the coefficient friction formula.

What is kinetic friction?

A force that acts between moving surfaces is called "kinetic friction." A force acting in opposition to the direction of a moving body on the surface is felt. The two materials' kinetic friction coefficients will determine how much force is applied.

What is coefficient friction?

A measure of the degree of friction between two surfaces is the coefficient of friction. A coefficient of friction is determined by calculating the resistance to motion at the intersection of two surfaces made of the same or different materials.

U-coefficient of friction

K-Kinetic friction

Using UK

450+370-f=m*o

f=820=UK*260*9.8

UK=2.548

820/2.548

UK= 321.8210361

Therefore the coefficient of kinetic friction is 321.8210361
