Answer:
Mechanical energy = 145 Joules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Kinetic energy = 115J
Gravitational Potential energy = 30J
To find the mechanical energy;
Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + gravitational potential energy
Substituting into the equation, we have
Mechanical energy = 115 + 30
<em>Mechanical energy = 145 Joules. </em>
Mechanical energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of mechanical energy are;
<em>a. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.</em>
<em>b. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.</em>
A strong acid is a number between 0-6 on the pH scale and Bases are between 8-14 on the pH scale the difference is how much hydroxide each one has like coca-cola (acid) and backing soda (base)
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.
Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
