Calculate the potential energy of a rock that has a 45 kg mass and is sitting

Physics
1 answer:
Montano1993 [528]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

P.E = 13230 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the rock, m = 45 Kg

The rock is sitting at a height from the ground, h = 30 m

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy of the body is given by the formula,

                            P.E = mgh joules

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                             P.E = 45 x 9.8 x 30

                                   = 13230 J

Hence, the potential energy of the rock is P.E = 13230 J

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. at one position along its path it has a velocity of 26.3 m
galina1969 [7]
We will use the formula / equation to determined the time.

Distance = ½ * (vi + vf) * t 
48100 = ½ * (26.3 + 41.9) * t 
t = 48100 ÷ 34.1 = 1410.557185 seconds 

We will use the formula / equation to determined the acceleration. 

vf = vi + a * t 
41.9 = 26.3 + a * 1410.557185 
a = (41.9 – 26.3) ÷ 1410.557185 = 0.011059459 m/s^2 

We will use the formula / equation to determined the acceleration.

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 * a * d 
41.9^1 = 26.3^2 + 2 * a * 48100 
a = (41.9^2 – 26.3^2) ÷ 96200 = 0. 011059459 m/s^2 
Since both answers are the same, I believe the acceleration is correct.

A kettle consumes 198 kJ to boil water. If 168 kJ was used to boil the
Svetlanka [38]

The efficiency of the kettle is 117.9%

<h3>What is efficiency?</h3>

Efficiency is used to measuring how much work or energy we can conserve in a process. In other words, it is like comparing the output of the energy to the input of the energy in any given system.

It is also define as the ratio of  Energy Input to the Energy Output. To express it in percent multiply it by 100.

Here, Efficiency = Energy output / Energy input

          η =\frac{W_{out} }{W_{in} } * 100

η = \frac{198kJ}{168kJ} * 100  

=  117.9%

So , the efficiency is 117.9%

An atom’s emission of light with a specific amount of energy confirms that
kirill [66]

The correct answer is B. Electrons emit and absorb energy based on their position around the nucleus.

Explanation:

In general, an atom's emission of photons (light) is the result of electrons, which are the negative charge particles that orbit the nucleus. Moreover, the emission of light is likely to occur if the electron is located at a specific energy level (position in the atom) and it moves to a lower level as this requires the loss of energy in the form of photons. Also, the electron can absorb the photons and as a result gain enough energy to move to a higher level. This implies the atom's emissions of light shows the relationship between electrons emitting and absorbing energy and their position or energy level.
