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

A 15.7-g aluminum block is warmed to 53.2 °c and plunged into an insulated beaker containing 32.5 g of water initially at 24.5 °

ipn [44]

The equilibrium temperature of aluminium and water is 33.2°C

We know that specific heat of aluminium is 0.9 J/gm-K, and that of water is 1 J/gm-K

Now we can calculate the equilibrium temperature

(mc∆T)_aluminium=(mc∆T)_water

15.7*0.9*(53.2-T)=32.5*1*(T-24.5)

T=33.2°C

The robot arm is elevating and extending simultaneously. At a given instant, θ = 30°, ˙ θ = 10 deg / s = constant θ˙=10 deg/s=co

Explanation:

The position vector r:

$\overrightarrow{r(t)}=lcos\theta\hat{i}+lsin\theta\hat{j}$

The velocity vector v:

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=\overrightarrow{\frac{dr}{dt}}=\dot{l}cos\theta-lsin\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{i}+\dot{l}sin\theta+lcos\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{j}$

The acceleration vector a:

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=cos\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)-sin\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})\hat{i}+cos\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})+sin\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=0.13\hat{i}+0.18\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=-0.3\hat{i}-0.1\hat{j}$

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?

postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.
