Answer:
<em>h = 20 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or
.
The weight of an object of mass m is:
W = m.g
Thus, the GPE is:
U=W.h
Solving for h:

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

h = 20 m
The definition of incidence is In geometric optics, the angle of incidence is the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence, called the normal.
Answer:
The answer cannot be determined.
Explanation:
The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy
, and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.
The change in temperature
then will be

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and
is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.
Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
Answer:

Explanation:
<u>Accelerated Motion
</u>
When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed
.
The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of
for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of
until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.
The equation for the distance is

Our data is

Let's compute the first distance X1


Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time


That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0



Computing the second distance


The total distance is
