The work done to stop the car is -208.33 kJ

From work-kinetic energy principles, the change in kinetic energy of the car ,ΔK equals the work done to stop the car, W.

W = ΔK = 1/2m(v'² - v²) where

m = mass of car = 1500 kg,
v = initial velocity of car = 60 km/h = 60 × 1000 m/3600 s = 16.67 m/s and
v' = final velocity of car = 0 m/s (since the car stops).

<h3 /><h3>Calculating the work done</h3>

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

W = 1/2m(v'² - v²)

W = 1/2 × 1500 kg(v(0 m/s)² - (16.67 m/s)²)

W = 750 kg(0 (m/s)² - 277.78 (m/s)²)

W = 750 kg(- 277.78 (m/s)²)

W = -208333.33 J

W = -208.33333 kJ

W ≅ -208.33 kJ

So, the work done to stop the car is -208.33 kJ

A ball falls off of a 3m tall shelf. How long will it take for the

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

0.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of shelf = 3m

Unknown:

Time it will take to hit the ground = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

x = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ gt²

x is the height

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time taken = ?

Now insert the parameters and solve for t;

3 = (0 x t) +( $\frac{1}{2}$ x 9.8 x t²)

3 = 4.9t²

t² = 0.6

t = 0.8s

An electron in the n = 5 level of an h atom emits a photon of wavelength 1282.17 nm. to what energy level does the electron move

lions [1.4K]

This is an interesting (read tricky!) variation of Rydberg Eqn calculation.
Rydberg Eqn: 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 1282.17 nm = 1282.17×10^-9 m
R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1
n2 = 5 (emission)
Hence 1/(1282.17 ×10^-9) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/n1^2 – 1/25^2]
Some rearranging and collecting up terms:
1 = (1282.17 ×10^-9) (1.09737× 10^7)[1/n2 -1/25]
1= 14.07[1/n^2 – 1/25]
1 =14.07/n^2 – (14.07/25)
14.07n^2 = 1 + 0.5628
n = √(14.07/1.5628) = 3
