Answer:
495.5 Joules
Explanation:
Given data
Mass= 10kg
Height= 5meters
g= 9.81m/s^2
Yes the rock will possess potential energy before it hits the ground
The potential energy is expressed as
PE=mgh
substitute
PE= 10*9.91*5
PE= 495.5 Joules
Kinetic, as inertia means to remain unchanged.
For resistors in series in a DC circuit, the potential difference is proportional to the resistance.
The voltage V across the 7.1 ohm resistor can be found from the proportion
V/7.1 = 12/4.8
V = 7.1*12/4.8 = 17.75
The potential difference at the battery terminals is the sum of the potential differences across the two series resistors.
Vbatt = 17.75 V + 12 V
Vbatt = 29.75 V
