What is the potential energy of a 264 kg boulder that sits on the edge of a 24 m tall cliff?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

63.36 kJ

Explanation:

Potential energy (PE) is the energy stored within an object, due to the object's position, arrangement or state.

Since the Boulder is now on a height , it has a potential energy

<em>Potential Energy = mass * gravitational acceleration * height</em>

(Assume the gravitational acceleration = 10ms⁻²)

PE =m*g*h\\=264*10*24\\=63360 J\\=63.36 kJ

Find change of velocity for:<br> 0-1.7 s<br> 1.7-6s
tekilochka [14]
The integral of acceleration is velocity. The area under the curve is an integral. You can see the relation here. So just take the area under those time intervals. I’m assuming 1.7 is where it crosses the x-axis

For the first interval:
Base = 1.7
Height = -2
[1.7*(-2)]/2 = -1.7 cm/s

For the second interval:
There are two triangles and a rectangle here.
Base #1 = 0.3
Height #1 = 1

Base #2 = 1
Height #2 = 1

Length = 3
Width = 1

Apply the area formulas to get an answer of 3.65 cm/s

What is the first semiconductor
madam [21]
<span>
English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature. <span> Next Milestone </span> Contemporary Documents <span> <span>Faraday, M.

What type of energy do not harm our environment?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation: Renewable energy is energy that has been derived from earth's natural resources that are not finite or exhaustible, such as wind and sunlight. Renewable energy is an alternative to the traditional energy that relies on fossil fuels, and it tends to be much less harmful to the environment.
