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

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

λ = 396.7 nm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the diffraction ratio of a grating

           d sin θ = m λ

in general the networks works in the first order m = 1

we can use trigonometry, remembering that in diffraction experiments the angles are small

           tan θ = y / L

           tan θ = \frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta} = sin θ

           sin θ = y / L

we substitute

          d \  \frac{y}{L} = m λ

with the initial data we look for the distance between the lines

           d = \frac{m \lambda \ L}{y}

           d = 1 656 10⁻⁹ 1.00 / 0.600

            d = 1.09 10⁻⁶ m

for the unknown lamp we look for the wavelength

           λ = d y / L m

           λ = 1.09 10⁻⁶ 0.364 / 1.00 1

           λ = 3.9676 10⁻⁷ m

           λ = 3.967 10⁻⁷ m

         

we reduce nm

           λ = 396.7 nm

What occurs when water droplets in the atmosphere become heavier than the air surrounding them can hold?
Anon25 [30]
The water droplets then became precipitation, and depending on the climate/weather, it could turn into rain, snow, sleet, or even hail.

Your answer is C)

a)t=2.78 sec

b)R=835.03 m

c)

Explanation:

Given that

h= 38 m

u=300 m/s

here given that

The finally y=0

So

t=2.78 sec

The horizontal distance,R

R= u x t

R=300 x 2.78

R=835.03 m
