294000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill = 500m

Mass of Chris = 60kg

Unknown:

Potential energy increase = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of the position of a body.

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the bike

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

At the base of the hill,

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 0 = 0J

At the top:

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 500 = 294000J

Potential energy increase = 294000J - 0J = 294000J

torisob [31]
<span>Answer : P = 3527 Pa Explanation: Given : height, h = 279 m and density of air , Ď = 1.29 kg/m3 Change in pressure , P = h*Ď*g We know that gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2 Therefore P = 279 * 1.29 * 9.8 = 3527 Pa</span>

Answer:

2g

Explanation:

Mass is force/area

16 N is the force because N is newtons and that measures force

8m/s^2 is the acceleration

There are 11 lights in series, and they are in series with 2 lights in parallel. If the 13 lights are identical, which of them w
BlackZzzverrR [31]
<h2>Answer: 2 lights (in parallel)</h2>

Explanation:

When light bulbs are connected in series the total voltage V_{s} will be:

V_{s}=V_{1}+V_{2}+...+V_{n}  (1)

This means the <u>total voltage will be distributed among each of the bulbs</u> in series, therefore the luminosity will be also divided among the bulbs.

When lights are connected in parallel the total voltage V_{p} will be:

V_{p}=V_{1}=V_{2}=...=V_{n}  (2)

This means the <u>total voltage will be the same for each bulbs</u> in parallel, therefore the luminosity will be the same.

Now, if we combine this two types of connections, as in this problem with 11 lights in series, which are also in series with 2 lights in parallel; the 2 lights in parallel will be brighter than the 11 lights in series.

What region of the electromagnetic spectrum contains wavelengths the size of an atom? (10^-10 meters) What frequency does this w
DENIUS [597]

If a photon has a wavelength of about 10^-10 meters, it would be certainly in the X rays region and it would have a frequency of 2.99792458x10^18 Hz, that you can easily calculate using the relation that states that the product of the wavelength and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave aka light is always equal to 299,792,458 m/s which is the exact value of the speed of light!
