Given:

Mass (m) of package = 1350 kg

Height, h = 760 meters

Let's find the potential energy right before the object starts to fall

To find the potential energy, apply the formula below:

P.E=m\ast g\ast h

Where:

m = 1350 kg

h = 760 meters

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

Substitute values into the equation:

\begin{gathered} PE=1350\ast9.8\ast760 \\  \\ PE=10054800\text{ J }\approx10.0548\text{ MJ} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the potential energy right before the object starts of fall is 10.0548 megajoules.

ANSWER:

10.0548 MJ

Examine the spectra of the four unknown substances shown below. What can you conclude?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Line spectra are obtained when individual elements are heated using a high-voltage electrical discharge. This heating causes excitation of the element and a subsequent emission of distinct lines of colored light are obtained. Each element has its own unique emission line spectrum; therefore, if any of the tested substances were the same, their spectra would match. However, this is not the case so none of the substances are the same.

A 600-g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant k =190.0 N/m. The block becomes attached to t
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Work done will be 2.205 j

Explanation:

We have given that the spring is compressed b 37.5 cm

So d = 0.375 m

Mass of the block m = 600 gram = 0.6 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Gravitational force on the block F=mg=0.6\times 9.8=5.88N

Now we know that work done is give by W=Fd=5.88\times 0.375=2.205J
