57. Estimate Potential Energy A boulder with a

Physics
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 4.9 x 10^6 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of boulder (m) = 2,500 kg

Height of ledge above canyon floor (h) = 200 m

Gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder (GPE) = ?

Since potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest, and it depends on the mass of the object (m), gravitational acceleration (g), and height (h).

GPE = mgh

GPE = 2500kg x 9.8m/s2 x 200m

GPE = 4900000J

Place result in standard form

GPE = 4.9 x 10^6J

Thus, the gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder-Earth system relative to the canyon floor is 4.9 x 10^6 joules

HELP NOWWW Studies based on which of the following were used to describe the current model of the atom?
alexgriva [62]
Well I know that ernest rutherford did the gold foil experiment where he fired alpha particles at gold foil. This experiment founded the nucleus but I don't know if the current model of the atom is based on this.

Cathode ray tube experiments sounds like its to do with electrolysis so i dont think it can be that.

Lighting a match results in light and heat. Since energy was not created by the match, what transformation took place?
Yuki888 [10]
Chemical energy stored in the compounds caked on the head of the match, and later the
chemical energy stored in the wood, was released in the form of heat and light when the
chemical compounds got hot enough.

Imagine you leave the dock on a fishing boat that travels east for 30 kilometers when the captain realizes he left the fishing r
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hr whereas average velocity is 0 km/ hr.

Explanation:

The average speed of the boat is 60 km/ hr while on the other hand, the average velocity of the boat is 0 km/ hr because average speed is the total distance covered by the boat in total time and average velocity is the displacement covered by the boat in total time. The total distance covered by the boat is 60 km and the total time is 60 minutes which is equals to one hour so the answer is 60 km/hr whereas the displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position which is 0 in this case so 0 divided by 60 minutes or one hour is also 0.
