Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

3.85*10^8m

Explanation:

We know that

Speed v = distance/time t

So distance = v x t

So = 3*10^8 x 2.56s

= distatance = 7.7*10^8m

However this is double the distance from the earth to the moon, so to get distance from earth to the moon we divide by 2

7.7*10^8/2= 3.85*10^8m

How much kinetic energy does an object have that is moving at a rate of 30 m/s and has a mass of 4000 kg ?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

K = 1800 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the object, v = 30 m/s

Mass of the object, m = 4000 kg

We need to find the kinetic energy of the object. The formula for the kinetic energy is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4000\times 30^2\\\\K=1800000\\\\or\\\\K=1800\ kJ

So, the required kinetic energy is equal to 1800 kJ.

Which sentence provides evidence that heat travels from Earth’s mantle up to its crust?
olasank [31]

B. Earth’s outer surface is cooler than its interior layers.

Explanation:

  • The option given above is showing us that the temperature in the interior of the earth is higher than the temperature in the outer layer.
  • There is travel of heat from the inner core of the earth to the earth's crust. Due to the loss of heat when it reaches the outer layer, there arises a temperature difference.
  • The heat loss is due to the absorption of heat during its transfer. Hence, option B is the answer.

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.
mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase  its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.
