Answer:

618.03 J

Explanation:

Potential energy can be calculate using the following formula.

PE=m*g*h

where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

In this situation, we have a 3 kilogram rock on a 21 meter high cliff. Therefore, the mass is 3 kg and the height is 21 m.

On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2.

m=3 kg

h=21 m

g=9.81 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

PE=3*9.81*21

Multiply all the numbers together

PE=63*9.81

PE=618.03

The potential energy is 618.03 kg m^2/s^2, or 618.03 Joules

In a system, 45 J of work is done on a car using a 65 N force. how far does the car move?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

So the answer is .7 (whatever unit)

Explanation:

The distance can be determined by using the formula:

D = W/F (Distance = Work divided by Force.

The Work is 45 J. The Force is 65 N (newtons).

So, it would be 45/65.

.70 or .7

The third law of thermodynamics states that?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

b. The entropy of a pure, perfect crystalline substance at absolute zero is zero.

Explanation:

There are three laws of thermodynamics which are used to define the physical quantities and parameters like the energy, entropy, temperature. These parameters are used to characterize thermodynamic systems which are at thermal equilibrium.

The third law of thermodynamics:-

According to third law of thermodynamics, the  entropy of the system at absolute zero temperature is a very well-defined constant. Also, for the entropy of the perfect crystalline solid which is at absolute zero is equal to zero exactly.

Thus, the correct option is:- b. The entropy of a pure, perfect crystalline substance at absolute zero is zero.
