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>

Answer:

I assume by "which" of these you're looking for an example. Water freezing into ice or water, or evaporation, the process of turning from liquid into vapor, would not be chemical changes.

Explanation:

These are physical changes because they do not form a new substance, a chemical change requires a change in the chemical makeup of the substance.

You can't find the acceleration of the ball. The graph tells the force, but you'd also need to know the mass of the ball.

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 9.9 kV, what is its resulting speed?
sweet [91]

Answer:

Speed of the electron will be v=5.896\times 10^7m/sec

Explanation:

We have given that charge on electron e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of electron m=9.11\times 10^{-31}kg

Potential difference = V=9.9KV=9.9\times 10^3volt

Now according to energy conservation eV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 9.9\times 10^3=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2

v=5.896\times 10^7m/sec

The three point charges +4.0 μC, -5.0 μC, and -9.0 μC are placed on the x-axis at the points x = 0 cm, x = 40 cm, and x = 120 cm
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

4μC will attract -9μC towards the centre and -5μC will repel it away from the centre.  Both these forces are opposite to each other.

Force due to 4μC on -9μC towards the centre

= k x Q₁ Q₂/R² = 9 X 10⁹ X 4 X 10⁻⁶ X 9 X 10⁻⁶ / (1.2)² = 225 X 10⁻³ N/C

Force due to -5μC on -9μC  away from the centre

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁶x 9 x 10⁻⁶/( 0.8)² = 632.8 x 10⁻³ .N/C

Ner field =407.8 N/C.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.
