A shot-putter puts a shot (weight=71.1N) that leaves his hand at adistance of 1.52m above the ground. (a) Find the work done by

thegravitational force when the shot has risen to a height of 2.13mabove the ground. (b) Determine the change(ΔPE=PEfinal-PEinitial) in the gravitationalpotential energy of the shot.

Explanation:

It is given that,

weight of the shot- putter, W = 71.1 kg

Initial position, x_i=1.52\ m

Final position, x_f=2.13\ m

To find,

Work done and the change in potential energy.

Solution,

(a) Let W is the work done by the gravitational force when the shot has risen to a height of 2.13 m above the ground. It is given by :

W_f=F\times x_f

W_f=71.1\times 2.13

W_f=151.44\ J

(b) We know that the potential energy is equal to the work done by an object such that,

\Delta P=P_f-P_i

\Delta P=W_f-W_i

\Delta P=151.44-71.1\times 1.52

\Delta P=43.36\ J

Does a fish appear closer or farther from a person wearing swim goggles with an air pocket in front of their eyes than the fish
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

Explanation:

This exercise can be analyzed with the law of refraction that establishes that a ray of light when passing from one medium to another with a different index makes it deviate from its path,

      n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of the incident and refracted means and the angles are also for these two means.

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

1 sin θ₁ = 1.33 sin θ₂

        θ₂ = sin⁻¹ ( 1/1.33 sin θ₁)

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

Momentum is conserved.

p = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = constant

Momentum before the collision(kick):

p = 80 * 0 + 4 * 0 = 0

Momentum after the collision:
p = 80 * v₁ + 4 * 15 = 0

Solve for v₁.

A sheet of gold leaf has a thickness of 0.125 micrometer. A gold atom has a radius of 174pm. Approximately how many layers of at
Olegator [25]

Answer:

719

Explanation:

Conversion

1 picometer (pm) is equivalent to 1 × 10^{-12} meter

1 micrometer is equivalent to 1 × 10^{-6} meter

To find the number of layers, we divide the overal leaf thickness by the thickness of one atom hence dividing tex]0.125 × 10^{-6}[/tex] meter by 174 × 10^{-12} meter we get that the number of sheets will be as follows

\frac {0.125× 10^{-6}}{174\times 10^{-12}}=718.3908045\approx 719

Therefore, they are approximately 719 sheets
