A 5.45 kg rock falls from a cliff that is 23.5 m above the ground to a cliff that is 12.3 m above the ground. Find the kinetic energy of the rock when it reaches the lower cliff. Assume air does no work on the rock. What is the rock’s speed when it reaches the lower cliff? Knowns Knowns Unknowns

m = g = GPEi = ? GPEf = ?

h1 = vi = KEf = ? vf = ?

h2 = KEi =

Solve for the Unknowns

a. Determine initial height of the rock relative to the lower cliff
b. Determine the rock’s GPEi. Set the reference level as the lower cliff.
c. Identify when KE and GPE are zero
d. Use the law of conservation of energy to determine KEf
e. Determine the speed of the rock, using the equation for kinetic energy

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass
