What is the potential energy of a 3 kg rock sitting at the top of a 21 meter high cliff?

Physics
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
3 0

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

Where could convection currents form? Check all that apply.
KatRina [158]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
  • In a freshwater lake
  • In the atmosphere
  • In Earth's mantle
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Convection currents are types that cause the process of convection, which the transfer of heat energy that occurs in fluids.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Convection currents are circular patterns that occurs in fluids such that the less dense warm fluids rises up while denser cold fluids sinks, </u></em>it is this movement of less dense warm fluid and denser cold fluids that creates circular patterns that causes the process of convection to take place.
  • <em><u>Convection currents may occur in the atmosphere where warm air rises while cold denser air sinks or moves towards the bottom, it may also occur in the mantle of the Earth and water or water bodies such as lakes.</u></em>

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

 \huge\text{Graphs:}

The graph of  

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature  always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

\Large\textbf{Diode:}  

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}  

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

 \Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.

How much pressure is applied to the ground
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Pressure applied by the man= 285103.125 Pa  or 41.35 lb/in^{2}

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force applied per unit area.

i.e.  Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}

Now, Force= mg

where, m = mass of the body(man) = 93 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity of Earth = 9.81 m/{s^{2}}

Area covered is equal to the area of both stilts(a man generally stands on two feet)

therefore Area=2(0.04)^{2} m^{2}

and putting in the values, we get,

Pressure=\frac{93\times9.81}{2\times(0.04)^{2}}Nm^{-2}=285103.125Nm^{-2}

Now we need to convert to our required units:

1Nm^{-2}=1Pa\\1Pa=0.000145038lb/in^{2}

(We can get the above result by individually converting kg to lb and meters to inches respectively)

Using the above relations we get,

Pressure=285103.125Pa=0.000145038\times285103.125lb/in^{2}=41.35lb/in^{2}

A ski jumper travels down a slope and
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

304.86 metres

Explanation:

The x and y cordinates are dcos\theta and dsin\theta respectively

The horizontal distance travelled, x=v_{ox}t=dcos\theta

Making t the subject, t=\frac{dcos\theta}{v_{ox}}

Since y=0.5gt^2=dsin\theta, we substitute t with the above and obtain

0.5g(\frac{dcos\theta}{v_{ox}})^2=dsin\theta

Making d the subject we obtain

d=\frac{2v_{ox}^2sin\theta}{gcos^2\theta}

d=\frac{2*30^2sin48}{9.8cos^248}

d=304.8584

d=304.86m
