A stone weighing 1.5 kilograms is resting on a rock at a height of 20 meters above the ground. The stone rolls down 10 meters an

d comes to rest on a patch of moss. The gravitational potential energy of the stone on the moss is joules. (Use PE = m × g × h, where g = 9.8 N/kg.)

Given that the equation for the potential energy of an object is: PE = mgh, where, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object above the ground, simply substitute the given values to obtain the potential energy. In this case, m = 1.5 kg, g = 9.8 N/kg, and h = 10 m. The height is set to 10 m since this is the height of the moss above the ground after it fell. Thus, the potential energy of the moss at its position is 147 Joules.

3. The honeycomb-like appearance of this sandstone is a result of.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Wedging Freeze is generated by repeated freezing. Freeze wedging occurs, whenever the water is turned into ice as a result of the 9 percent expansion. When it freezes, cracks full of water are forced to separate further. and other options are incorrect, that can be described as follows:

  • In option A, It is a state where the element converts into a liquid, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option B, It is a reaction in which the bonds of water is divided into particular substance, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option D, It is a form of mechanical or physical rock weathering, that's it is not correct.

A 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m,
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

3.6 KJ

Explanation: Given that a 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m, and ends with a speed of 8.5 m/s. How much nonconservative work (in kJ) was done on the boy

The workdone = the energy.

There are two different energies in the scenario - the potential energy (P.E ) and the kinetic energy ( K.E )

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 × 9.8 × 1.6

P.E = 1097.6 J

P.E = 1.098 KJ

K.E = 1/2mv^2

K.E = 1/2 × 70 × 8.5^2

K.E = 2528.75 J

K.E = 2.529 KJ

The non conservative workdone = K.E + P.E

Work done = 1.098 + 2.529

Work done = 3.63 KJ

Therefore, the non conservative workdone is 3.6 KJ approximately

A transverse wave is traveling from north to south. Which statement could be true for the motion of the wave particles in the me
Vikki [24]
Transverse waves travel on a direction that is perpendicular to the motion of the particles (or whatever medium is waving)  So the particles must be moving east to west, which is transverse to the north-south motion of the wave
