The summit of Mount Everest is 8848.0 m above sea level, making it the highest summit on Earth. In 1953, Edmund Hillary was the

first person to reach the summit. Suppose upon reaching there, Hillary slid a rock with a 45.0 g mass down the side of the mountain. If the rock’s speed was 27.0 m/s when it was 8806.0 m above sea level, how much work was done on the rock by air resistance?

The work done on the rock by air resistance is 39019.68 J

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>

Mass (m) = 45 g
Velocity (v) = 27 m/s
Height (h) = 8848 m
Work done =?

<h3>Definition of work </h3>

Work is simply defined as the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force.

Work = Force × distance

From the question given above, we can see that height is involved. Thus,

Work = potential energy

Potential energy = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g) × height (h)

Potential energy = mgh

Therefore,

Work = mgh

With the above formula, we can obtain the work done.

<h3>How to determine the work done </h3>

Mass (m) = 45 g = 45 / 1000 = 0.45 Kg
Height (h) = 8848 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Work done =?

Work = mgh

Work = 0.45 × 9.8 × 8848

Work = 39019.68 J

Answer:

R= 20 ohm

Explanation:

Given that

Current ,I = 6 A

Voltage difference ,ΔV = 120 V

Lets take resistance of the stem iron = R

We know that ,the relationship between current ,voltage difference and resistance is given as

ΔV = I R

$R=\dfrac{\Delta V}{I}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$R=\dfrac{120}{6}\ ohm$

R= 20 ohm

Therefore the resistance of the steam will be 20 ohm.

A speaker emits sound waves in all directions, and at a distance of 28 m from it the intensity level is 73 db. What is the total

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

P=0.197 Watt

Explanation:

Given That

B=73dB

Io= 1 * 10^-12

$I=Io * 10^{\frac{B}{10} } \\I=2 * 10^{-5} Wm^{-2} \\A=4 * pi * r^{2}\\ A=9852.03 m^{2}\\ Power= I * A\\P= 0.197 Watt$

Is language an innate or an acquired one

horsena [70]

It's acquired. Innate means you have it at birth, acquired means you picked it up. Obviously babies can't speak ;) so it's acquired.

An electric motor with a 1200 hp output drives a machine with an efficiency of 60%. What is the energy output of the machine per

kirill [66]

Answer:

536,904 J/s

Explanation:

The energy output from motor is the input energy in the machine.

We know that efficiency is percentage energy ouput to energy input, and expressed as

$n=\frac {E_o}{E_i}$

Where n and E represent efficiency and energy respectively, subscripts o and i represent output and input respectively. Since for the machine we have the input energy then the output will be the product of efficiency and input energy

Energy output=0.6*1200 hp=720 hp

Converting hp to J/s we multiply by 745.7

Energy is 720*745.7=536,904 J/s
