The burj Khalifa in Dubai is the worlds tallest building. It rises to an amazing 828M above the ground and if you were to get to

the top using the stairs, you would climb a total of 3234 steps!
If each of these steps has a depth of 20CM, calculate the total work done by a man of weight 800N who climbs to the top of the stairs?

I don't understand what you mean by "depth" of the steps.  The flat part of the step has a front-to-back dimension, and the 'riser' has a height.  I don't care about the horizontal dimension of the step because it doesn't add anything to the climber's potential energy.  And if the riser of each step is 20cm high, then 3,234 of them only take him (3,234 x 0.2) = 646.8 meters up off the ground.  So something is definitely fishy about the steps.

Fortunately, we don't need to worry at all about the steps in order to derive a first approximation to the answer ... one that's certainly good enough for high school Physics.

In order to lift his bulk 828 meters from the street to the top of the Burj, the climber has to provide a force of 800 newtons, and maintain it through a distance of 828 meters.  The work [s]he does is (force) x (distance) = <em>662,400 joules. </em>

solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

A 20kg mass approaches a spring at a speed of 30 m/s. The mass compresses the spring 12cm before coming to a stop. Calculate the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m

A sample of an ideal gas is in a tank of constant volume. The sample absorbs heat energy so that its temperature changes from 38
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

the ratio is \frac{V_2}{V_1}=\sqrt{2}

Explanation:

Given

Initial Temperature T_1=387 KFinal Temperature T_2=774 K

The RMS velocity of molecules in a gas is given by

V_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{3k_bT}{m}}

where T=temperature

k_b=constant

For T = 387K

V_1=\sqrt{\frac{3k_b\cdot 387}{m}}----1

For T = 774

V_2=\sqrt{\frac{3k_b\cdot 774}{m}}----(2)

dividing eqn 1 and eqn 2

\frac{V_2}{V_1}=\sqrt{\frac{774}{387}}

\frac{V_2}{V_1}=\sqrt{2}

Thus,the ratio is \frac{V_2}{V_1}=\sqrt{2}

mina [271]

Answer:

\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W

Explanation:

As we know that base of the slab is given as

A = 11 \times 8

A = 88 m^2

now we know that rate of heat transfer is given as

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{kA}{x} (T_2 - T_1)

here we know that

k = 1.4 W/m k

Also we have

x =0.20

\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{1.4(88)}{0.20}(17 - 10)

\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

C. a few days

Explanation:

The evidence that we will have to investigate is the gunshot residue on the body of the suspect. When a person fires a gun there will be a deposition of material from the components of the chemicals present in the gun. This deposit is called gunshot residue and consists of particles of the propellant or explosive primer.

Experimentation has shown that the period of time that is person will test possible for gunshot residue is 5.27 days.
