Potential energy can be calculated using the following rule:
potential energy = mgh where:
m is the mass = 85 kg
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
h is the height = 4 km = 4000 meters

Substitute in the above equation to get the potential energy as follows:
Potential energy = 85*9.8*4000 = 3332000 joules

4. A 1200 kg car traveling North at 20.0 m/s collides with a 1400 kg car traveling South at 22.0 m/s. The two
Dvinal [7]

Answer:-2.61 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle, which establishes that the initial momentum p_{o} must be equal to the final momentum p_{f}:

p_{o}=p_{f} (1)

Where:

p_{o}=mV_{o}+MU_{o} (2)

p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f} (3)

m=1200 kg is the mass of the first car

V_{o}=20 m/s is the velocity of the first car, to the North

M=1400 kg is the mass of the second car

U_{o}=-22 m/s is the mass of the second car, to the South

V_{f} is the final velocity of both cars after the collision

mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f} (4)

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(1200 kg)(20 m/s)+(1400 kg)(-22 m/s)}{1200 kg+1400 kg} (6)

Finally:

V_{f}=-2.61 m/s (7) This is the resulting velocity of the wreckage, to the south

is texas near a subduction zone? Justify your answer using the terms plate boundary and plate tectonics
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced to sink due to high gravitational potential energy into the mantle. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones. Rates of subduction are typically measured in centimeters per year, with the average rate of convergence being approximately two to eight centimeters per year along most plate boundaries. so i  believe so
