Kinetic energy per unit of mass is

K=\frac{v^{2} }{2}

Given, v=3m/s^{2}

Therefore,

K=\frac{(3^{2} m/s^{2} )^2}{2}

K=4.5 J/kg

Now potential energy per unit mass is

p=g\times h

Given, h=90 m

Therefore,

p= 9.8m/s^2 \times 90

p=882.9 J/kg

Thus, total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass is

T=K+p=(4.5+882.9)J/kg

T=887.9 J/kg

OR

T=0.887 kJ/kg

Why is acceleration negative in a free fall?
murzikaleks [220]
Only because when most people work with vertical motion, they call the upward direction positive. So falling objects have negative velocity and acceleration. But if you prefer to call the downward direction positive, you have every right to do that. Then the force of gravity on a falling object, as well as its velocity and acceleration, are all positive, and its negative altitude steadily grows until it hits the ground.

Which stament best describes resistance
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of current in an electrical circuit.

Explanation:

It is symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω), resistance is measured in ohms.  

If an electric current of one ampere passes through a component across which a potential difference (voltage) of one volt exists, then the resistance of that component is one ohm

1 question 20points<br> How is frequency related to the sound we here
pishuonlain [190]
Frequency is the vibration of noise and the vibration determines the pitch, which we depend on to be a pitch or frequency we can hear. If it's too high or too low our ears can't hear it
