Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the interacting pair of the Earth and a 11 kg block sitting on the surface of th

e Earth. You would need to supply the absolute value of this result to move the block to a location very far from the Earth (actually, you would need to use even more energy than this due to the gravitational potential energy associated with the Sun-block interacting pair).

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = 107.8J

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = mgh

Where mass(m) = 11kg

Acceleration due to gravity(g) = 9.8m²/s

height = assumed to be 1m

Force(F) = mg

Force(F) = 11×9.8 = 107.8N

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = 107.8×1

= 107.8J

A 0.80-kg soccer ball experinces an impulse of 25 N x s . Determine the momentum change of the soccer ball.
borishaifa [10]

If the impulse is 25 N-s, then so is the change in momentum.
The mass of the ball is extra, unneeded information.

Just to make sure, we can check out the units:

<u>Momentum</u> = (mass) x (speed) = <u>kg-meter / sec</u>

<u>Impulse</u> = (force) x (time) = (kg-meter / sec²) x (sec) = <u>kg-meter / sec</u>

An 81.5-kg man stands on a horizontal surface.
OLga [1]

Answer:

a)V= 0.0827 m³

b)P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

Explanation:

Given that

m = 81.5 kg

Density ,ρ = 985 kg/m³

As we know that

Mass = Volume x Density

81.5 = V x 985

V= 0.0827 m³

The force exerted by weight = m g

 F= m g= 81.5 x 10 = 815 N      ( Take ,g= 10 m/s²)

Area ,A= 4.5 x 10⁻² m²

The Pressure P

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P = \dfrac{815}{4.5\times 10^{-2}}\ N/m^2

P=181.11 x 10²  N/m²

in which place does subduction occur? a. at transform boundaries b. where two plates move apart c. at most normal faults d. wher
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer;

D. where two plates collide

Explanation;

-Subduction zones are plate tectonic boundaries where two plates converge, and one plate is thrust beneath the other. This process results in geohazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

-Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction.

Please help!
Trava [24]

Answer:

3 N to the right

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the car:

- A force of 10 N towards the right

- A force of 7 N towards the left

Therefore, the net force is given by the difference between the two, since they are in opposite directions:

F=10 N-7 N=3 N

And the direction is to the right, since the force to the right has greater magnitude than the force to the left.
