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

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

kolbaska11 [484]
To answer the problem we would be using this formula which isE = hc/L where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and L is the wavelength 
L = hc/E = 4.136×10−15 eV·s (2.998x10^8 m/s)/10^4 eV 

= 1.240x10^-10 m 

= 1.240x10^-1 nm

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike rider is 91kg. What is the kinetic energy of
Anestetic [448]

a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

KE = \frac{1}{2}m* v^{2}

It is given:

v = 8.5 m/s

m = 91 kg

So:

KE= \frac{1}{2}*91*8.5^{2} =3,287.4J


b) We can calculate height by using the formula for potential energy (PE):
PE = m*g*h

In this case, h is eight, and PE is the same as KE:
PE = KE = 3,287.4 J

m = 91 kg

g = 9.81 m/s² - gravitational acceleration

h = ? - height


Now, let's replace those:

3,287.4= 91 * 9.81 * h

⇒ h = 3,287.4/(91*9.81) = 3,287.4/892.7 = 3.7 m

The photographer realizes that with the lens she is currently using, she can't fit the entire landscape she is trying to photogr
dexar [7]

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.

What is focal length?

The focal length is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

A positive focal length indicates that a system converges light, while a negative focal length indicates that the system diverges light.

For a standard rectilinear lens,

FOV = 2 arctan (x/2f)

FOV ∝ 1 / f

where x is the diagonal of the film.

Focal length (f) and field of view (FOV) of a lens are inversely proportional.

From the equation we can say that,

A shorter focal length gives you a wide angle of view which allows more view to fit in the frame.

Hence,

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.
