Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Calculate the man’s mass. (Use PE = m × g × h

, where g = 9.8 N/kg.) A man climbs a wall that has a height of 8.4 meters and gains a potential energy of 4,620 joules. His mass is about kilograms.

Answer:

56 kg

Explanation:

The change in potential energy of the man is given by:

\Delta U = mg \Delta h

where

m is the man's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h is the change in height of the man

In this problem, we have:

\Delta U=4620 J is the gain in potential energy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h=8.4 m is the change in height

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find the mass:

m=\frac{\Delta U}{g\Delta h}=\frac{4620 J}{(9.8 m/s^2)(8.4 m)}=56 kg

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

v=\lambda f

where

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency

For the wave in this problem,

- The frequency is given by the number of oscillations per second, so

f=\frac{2 cycles}{1 s}=2 Hz

- The wavelength is

\lambda=5 m

So, the wave speed is

v=(5 m)(2 Hz)=10 m/s

Many objects orbit the sun in the Kuiper belt. should such an object be called a comet if it does not have a tail? develop an ar
Digiron [165]

Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gasses, rock and dust that orbit the sun. When frozen, they are the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the sun, it heats up and spews dust and gasses that form a tail that stretches away from the sun fr millions of miles. There are probably billions of comets orbiting our sun in the Kuiper Belt and even more distant Oort Cloud. Comets have right for its name and had best to orbit the sun in the Kuiper Belt.

What is the proton-proton chain reaction? Describe this process
user100 [1]

Answer:

Proton proton chain reaction involves the fusion of two hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

Two protons combine together to form a deuterium nucleus, a neutrino and a positron.

This deuterium will then combine with another hydrogen to form a helium isotope with mass number three and gamma rays.

Now two helium isotopes combine to form a helium 4 nucleus and two protons.

These two protons will once again initiate another proton proton cycle.

These are called thermonuclear fusion reactions. They are responsible for the heat and light that are received from sun .

Proton proton cycle happens in all stars primarily.

Displacement vs distance
RSB [31]
Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position
