Answer:
b- a bicycle sitting on the ground
Explanation:
'Static' means it's not moving.
So, only the answer listed as "a bicycle sitting on the ground" corresponds to that condition.
All others possible answers describe something that is moving (an apple falling, a motorcycle accelerating, a car moving at a constant speed). Even if they are going at a constant speed, they are moving, so not static.
Answer:
Hey there!
Stopwatch X recorded 40 seconds, and stopwatch Y recorded 50 seconds.
Stopwatch Y recorded 10 seconds longer than stopwatch X.
Hope this helps :)
Could you please provide the options? :)
Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
