Answer:

599 meters is the answer rounded to the nearest whole number and 599.489795918 meters is the complete answer

Explanation:

to find gravitational potential energy you multiply mass x acceleration due to gravity (always 9.8 on earth) x hight

since we know the gravitational potential energy and want to find out the hight, we take the gravitational potential energy (470,000) and divide it by the product of acceleration due to gravity x mass (9.8 x 80)

so how high the hiker climbed is equal to 470,000 divided by (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / (9.8 x 80)

hight = 470,000 / 784

hight = 599.489795918 meters

as for rounding, if the decimal is less than 5 you round "down" and keep the current whole number, if the decimal is 5 or greater you round "up" and add 1 to get your new number

a body dropped from a height reaches a velocity of 13m/s just before touching the ground. What is the initial height of the ball
SashulF [63]

Hi there!

We can use the following (derived) equation to solve for the final velocity given height:

vf = √2gh

We can rearrange to solve for height:

vf² = 2gh

vf²/2g = h

Plug in the given values (g = 9.81 m/s²)

(13)²/2(9.81) = 8.614 m

We can calculate time using the equation:

vf = vi + at, where:

vi = initial velocity (since dropped from rest, = 0 m/s)

a = acceleration (in this instance, due to gravity)

Plug in values:

13 = at

13/a = t

13/9.81 = 1.325 sec

The dimensions of the disk of our milky way galaxy are:.
Katen [24]

Answer:

According to studies, the milky way is approximately, "170,000–200,000 light-years (52–61 kpc) in diameter and, on average, approximately 1,000 ly (0.3 kpc) thick."

With that being said, it is safe to say that the dimensions are somewhere around 100,000 by 1,000

If an equation is dimensionally correct is thar equation a right equation<br>​
Nady [450]

If an equation is dimensionally correct, it does not mean that the equation must be true. On the other hand, when the equation is dimensionally correct, the equation cannot be true. Dimensional analysis is a technique used to check whether a relationship is correct

Suppose water waves are moving from the deep end to the shallow end of the pool. That is, the waves are moving into a medium (sh
MissTica

Answer:

The waves will turn slightly to the <em><u>left .</u></em>

Explanation :

The waves will turn slightly to the left, because the left side of each wave front hits the boundary first and slows down, moving more slowly than the right side until the right side of the wave front reaches the boundary. THis causes the wave to veer slightly to the left.

  Basically the speed of water depends upon depth of the river or the ocean.

the formula is as follows :

            v =  √gxd

           v =  √d               (g is the gravitational acceleration)

As the water waves are more at the deeper end then the shallow end, so during its course to the shallower end, they are slightly deviated toward the normal., hence it will move slightly to the left.
