Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

<h3>What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>
  • Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
  • The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).

Solution:

mass = 5.10 kg

height = 18.5 mm

We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,

Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system

W = \Delta PE

W = mg (h₀ - h₁)

W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5

W = 924.63 J

Why are food and water the limiting factors that usually have the greatest effect on population size?
maw [93]
Because if you have a large population, there is a need for more food and water, but if you don't have enough food and water to support a large population, that limits it from happening

What are the density, specific gravity and mass of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m * 6 m * 8 m at 100 kPa and 25 C.
Volgvan

Answer:

Density = 1.1839 kg/m³

Mass = 227.3088 kg

Specific Gravity = 0.00118746 kg/m³

Explanation:

Room dimensions are 4 m, 6 m & 8 m. Thus, volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Now, from tables, density of air at 25°C is 1.1839 kg/m³

Now formula for density is;

ρ = mass(m)/volume(v)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

1.1839 = m/192

m = 227.3088 kg

Formula for specific gravity of air is;

S.G_air = density of air/density of water

From tables, density of water at 25°C is 997 kg/m³

S.G_air = 1.1839/997 = 0.00118746 kg/m³
