Why does 30 kg mass at the top of a hill have more potential energy?

Physics

iVinArrow [24]3 years ago

So when it comes to Gravitational Potential Energy the higher an object of mass is the more energy it has as the equation for EPG is = MGH so the M is Mass of the object , the G is the gravitational constant which on earth is roughly 9.8 m/s and the H is the height of the object. So the greater the H value is the more energy you'll have. An example would be using your 30kg mass say at a height of 10 meters would have the EPG of 2940 Joules of energy since EPG= MGH so EPG= (30)(9.8)(10) . Now if the object was at a height of 20 meters the EPG would be greater as EPG=(30)(9.8)(20) which would be 5880 joules of energy

What step of the rock cycle happens as the sea stacks are broken down
fiasKO [112]

But rocks are not unchangeable! Just like the water cycle, rocks undergo changes of form in a rock cycle. A metamorphic rock can become an igneous rock, or a sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic one. Unlike the water cycle, you can’t see the process happening on a day-to-day basis. Rocks change very slowly under normal conditions, but sometimes catastrophic events like a volcanic eruption or a flood can speed up the process. So what are the three types of rocks, and how do they change into each other? Keep reading to find out!

Against the wind a commercial airline in south america flew 784 miles in 4 hours. with a tailwind the return trip took 3.53 hour
ira [324]

First let us assign variables,

d = distance travelled

t = time it took

v = velocity of the commercial airline

In linear physics, the equation for velocity is given as:

v = d / t

Rewriting for d:

d = v t

We know that the distance to and from south America are equal therefore:

d1 (going) = d2 (return)

Let us say that velocity of air is v3. Since going to South America, the wind is against the direction of the plane and the return trip is the opposite, therefore:

(v1 - v3) t1 = (v1 + v3) t2

(v1 – v3) 4 = (v1 + v3) 3.53

4 v1 – 4 v3 = 3.53 v1 + 3.53 v3

0.47 v1 = 7.53 v3

v1 = 16.02 v3

Since we also know that:

(v1 - v3) t1 = 784

(16.02 v3 – v3) * 4 = 784

60.085 v3 = 784

v3 = 13.05 mph

Therefore the speed of the plane in still air, v1 is:

v1 = 16.02 * 13.05

<span>v1 = 209.03 mph           (ANSWER)</span>

I = E / R

If the resistors are in series, the current is 0.3 Amperes.

If the resistors are in parallel, the current is 1.25 Amperes.

A phone cord is 4.67 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.192 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the tau
Olegator [25]

Answer:

91.017N

Explanation:

Parameters

L=4.67m, m=0.192kg, t = 0.794s, The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cord, we have 4 +4 =8 trips( to and fro)

so N= no of trips = 8, From  Wave speed(V) = N *L/t , we have :

V= 8*4.67/0.794 = 47.0529 m/s.

We compute the cords mass per length,  Let it be P

P = M/L = 0.192/4.67 = 0.04111 kg/m

From  T = P * V^2  where T = Tension, we have

T = 0.04111 * (47.0529)^2

T =  91.017N.

The tension in the cord is 91.017N

On your drive home from school, you travel 1200 m in 80 s, then 400 min 20 s.
Mama L [17]

Average speed = Total distance/total time taken

=  \frac{1200 + 400}{80 + 20}

=  \frac{1600}{100}

=  \frac{16}{1}

= 16 \: ms {}^{ - 1}
