Answer:

B) 12 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Given PE = 5997.6 J, and m = 51 kg:

5997.6 J = (51 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 12 m

<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />

According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.  

Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}  

Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.

Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely  true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:

If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} and hit the ground at approximately the same time.

Why do transformers hum? Transformer noise is caused by a phenomenon which causes a piece of magnetic sheet steel to extend itself when magnetized. When the magnetization is taken away, it goes back to its original condition. This phenomenon is scientifically referred to as magnetostriction.

A rock is dropped from a helght of 2.5 meters. What is its velocity when it reaches the ground?
Nataly_w [17]

u=0 m/s

h=2.5m

Using kinematic eq:

{v}^{2}  -  {u}^{2}  = 2gh \\  {v}^{2}  -  {0}^{2}  = 2gh \\ v =  \sqrt{2gh}  \\ v =  \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 2.5}  \\ v =  \sqrt{50}  \\ v = 7.07m/s

what did classical physics predict would happen to the light given of by an object as its tempurtare increased
alexgriva [62]
When the temperature of an object that is giving off light is increased, the particles in the object will move at a faster rate and there will be increased vibration of these molecules. This will makes the object to emit more light and to shine more brightly.
