Given: The mass of stone (m) = 0.5 kg

Raised from heights (h₁) = 1.0 m to (h₂) = 2.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To find: The change in potential energy of the stone

Formula: The potential energy (P) = mgh

where, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Now, we shall calculate the change in potential energy of the stone

Δ P = P₂ - P₁ = mg (h₂ - h₁)

or, = 0.5 kg ×9.8 m/s² ×(2.0 m - 1.0 m)

or, = 4.9 J

Hence, the required change in the potential energy of the stone will be 4.9 J

Savatey [412]

Answer:

a). $E_{kA}=1.2635 J$

b). $V_{B}=4.535\frac{m}{s}$

c). Δ $E_{t}=8.4635 J$

Explanation:

ΔE=kinetic energy

a).

$E_{kA}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{A} ^{2} \\ v_{A}=1.9 \frac{m}{s}\\ m=0.70kg\\E_{kA}=\frac{1}{2}*0.70kg*(1.9 \frac{m}{s})^{2} \\E_{kA}=1.2635 J$

b).

$E_{kB}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{B} ^{2}$

$V_{B}^{2}=\frac{E_{kB}*2}{m} \\V_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{E_{kB}*2}{m}} \\V_{B}=\sqrt{\frac{7.2J*2}{0.70kg}} \\V_{B}=4.53 \frac{m}{s}$

c).

net work= EkA+EkB

$E_{t}=E_{kA}+ E_{kB}\\E_{t}=1.2635J+7.2J\\E_{t}=8.4635J$

Answer:

the outer covering of a bird is usually for camoflauge (idk how to spell) or to attract mates and the outer part of a tree is used for protection i think, correct me if im wrong ;-;

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?

Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up. Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology. Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.

What the planet after Venus

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Mercury and Venus are therefore closer to each other most of the time. But Earth is the planet closest to Venus. And that's why from here on Earth, Venus looks so big and luminous. Venus is the brightest thing in the night sky after the sun and the moon.
