We have: Gravitational Potential Energy (U) = mgh

Here, m = 3 Kg

g = 9.8 m/s²        [ constant value for earth system ]

h = 3 m


Substitute their values into the expression:

U = 3 × 9.8 × 3

U = 88.2 J


In short, Your Answer would be 88.2 Joules

You walk six blocks east along 12th Street, then three blocks west, then one block east, then six blocks east, then seven blocks
Oksana_A [137]
Displacement depends upon the path taken as it is a vector.

From your problem above we would have a total displacement of;
Defining +x direction as east and -x direction as west

6east-3west+1east+6east-7west

6-3+1+6-7=3 blocks east or + x-direction

So even though they walked a total of 17 blocks it ends up only being 3 blocks total in +xdirection that was travelled by displacement.

Any questions please ask.

Which of the following is NOT a example
solmaris [256]

Answer:

B. a piece of paper being torn

Explanation:

A chemical change is one that cannot be reversed. This means the original properties of the substance or object cannot be restored.

If you cook a raw egg, it would turn into a boiled egg (or a poached egg, however it is being cooked). The reaction is irreversible, so you cannot turn the cooked egg back into a raw egg - it is basically impossible to 'uncook' an already cooked egg.

When you toast a piece of bread, it turns into toast. You can't 'untoast' it back into bread. The chemical changes have already occurred and cannot be undone.

If you tear a piece of paper, it is still paper. You are only ripping it, not changing anything about it. You could simply tape the torn bit back to the original bit, or glue it - either way, it is still paper and nothing has occurred to drastically change the physical state of it.

Therefore, B is not a chemical change.
