Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf Work\ done = 4 kJ}$

Explanation:

Since work done is in the form of potential energy, we will use the formula of potential energy here.

We know that,

Where,

m = mass = 20 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

h = vertical height = 20 m

So,

Work done = (20)(10)(20)

Work done = 4000 joules

Work done = 4 kJ

A high-jump athlete leaves the ground, lifting her center of mass 1.8 m and crossing the bar with a horizontal velocity of 1.4 m

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity = 1.4 m/s

Height = 1.8 m

We need to calculate the minimum speed must she leave the ground

Using conservation of energy

$K.E+P.E=P.E+K.E$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+0=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2$

$\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=gh+\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=9.8\times1.8+\dfrac{(1.4)^2}{2}$

$\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=18.62$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times18.62}$

$v_{1}=6.10\ m/s$

Hence, The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.

You are designing a new home for a cold climate. You want one room in the house to be warmed by the Sun's energy. Which material

solniwko [45]

Answer:

glass if for a good view, but for absorbing heat concrete and brick is the best

Explanation:

wood is not a good idea bc it can cause fires from too much heat and it absorbs less heat but all of that depends on how good the material your using

Calculate the mass of a liquid with a density of 2.5 g/ml and a volume of 15ml

Nana76 [90]

Using the density equation and clearing mass:

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}\ \to\ m = \rho\cdot V = 2.5\frac{g}{mL}\cdot 15\ mL = \bf 37.5\ g$
