Answer:

47 kJoules (kJ)

Explanation:

Potential enegy on Earth is given by the relationship:

P.E. = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, and h is height. Since we are given metric values, we will look for an answer that is consistent with Joules, the metric measure of energy. 1 Joule is defined as 1 kg*m^2/s^2, so we wnat units of kg, m, and sec.

We are given:

m = 95kg

h = 50 meters

Earth's gravity, g is 9.8 m/s^2

Enter the data:

P.E. = mgh

P.E. = (95kg)(9.8m/s^2)(50m)

P.E. = 46550 kg*m^2/s^2 or 46550 Joules(J)

Since we only have 2 sig figs, and since 1kJ =- 1000J

We can state the potential energy is 47kJ.

Spiderman has 47kJ of potential energy for the start of any dive back to Earth. [He needed that same amount of energy to reach that height, but we don't know from where it came. A jump, helicopter, beamed up by Scotty, or tossed up by Doctor Octopus.]

A wave has a wavelength of 4.9 m and a velocity of 9.8 m/s. The medium through which this wave is traveling is then heated so th
garri49 [273]

Answer:

the wavelength is 9.8 meters

Explanation:

We can use the relationship:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

Initially we have:

wavelenght = 4.9m

velocity = 9.8m/s

then:

9.8m/s =  4.9m*f

f = 9.8m/s/4.9m =  2*1/s

now, if the velocity is doubled and the frequency remains the same, we have:

2*9.8m/s = wavelenght*2*1/s

wavelenght = (2*9.8m/s)*(1/2)s = 9.8 m

An object, with a final position of x = 100.1 meters, initially started at x = -12.13 meters. What was its displacement? (Unit =
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

112.23 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the final position minus the initial position.

Δx = x − x₀

Δx = 100.1 m − (-12.13 m)

Δx = 112.23 m

A 10 kg turkey, He kicks the 0.5 kg ball with a force of 50N for 0.2 seconds and the ball flies straight away horizontally from
Harman [31]

Answer:

a. 20m/s

b.50N

c. Turkey has a larger mass than the ball. Neglible final acceleration and therefore remains stationery.

Explanation:

a. Given the force as 50N, times as 0.2seconds and the weight of the ball as 0.5 kg, it's final velocity can be calculated as:

F\bigtriangleup t=m\bigtriangleup v\\\\50N\times 0.2s=0.5kg\times \bigtriangleup v\\\\\bigtriangleup v=2(50N\times0.2)\\\\=20m/s

Hence, the velocity of the ball after the kick is 20m/s

b.The force felt by the turkey:

#Applying Newton's 3rd Law of motion, opposite and equal reaction:

-The turkey felt a force of 50N but in the opposite direction to the same force felt by the ball.

c. Using the law of momentum conservation:

-Due to ther external forces exerted on the turkey, it remains stationery.

-The turkey has a larger mass than the ball. It will therefore have a negligible acceleration if any and thus remains stationery.

-Momentum is not conserved due to these external forces.

What molecular geometry would be expected for f2 and hf?
Kaylis [27]
The molecular geometry of both F2 and HF is linear.

There are only two atoms which are covalently bonded and thus, the bonding scheme with the atoms looks like this;

F --- F

H---F

So, both are linear.
