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

The wires in a household lamp cord are typically 3.5 mm apart center to center and carry equal currents in opposite directions.
zhuklara [117]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between wires, d = 3.5 mm = 0.0035 m

Power of light bulb, P = 100 W

Potential difference, V = 120 V

(a) We need to find the force per unit length each wire of the cord exert on the other. It is given by :

\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_o I^2}{2\pi r}

Power, P = V × I

I=\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{100}{120}=0.83\ A

This gives, \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times (0.83)^2}{2\pi \times 0.0035}

\dfrac{F}{l}=0.0000393\ N/m

\dfrac{F}{l}=3.93\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

(b) Since, the two wires carry equal currents in opposite directions. So, teh force is repulsive.

(c) This force is negligible.

Hence, this is the required solution.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

F1 = K Q1 Q2 / R1^2

F2 = K Q1 / 2 * Q2 / (2 R1)^2

F2 / F1 = 1/2 / 4 = 1/8

The new force is 5N   (1/2 due to charge and 1/4 due to distance)

If the sound level at a point is 98.0 dB, what is the intensity of sound at that point (Unit=W/m^2)? please help will give brain
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each bel or 10 decibels correspondents to a factor of ten. A power intensity of 10^(-12) watts per square meter is the standard reference for a SPL of 0 db. So an SPL of 98 db corresponds to a power intensity of 10^(9.8)*10^(-12) or 10^(9.8–12) w/m^2.

0.006309573 w/m^2.

You can also readily find the value for any given SPL using the online calculator at: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-soundlevel.htm
