Answer:
The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J
Explanation:
The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries
In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table
Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are
Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm
Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm
The total potential energy at point A is
Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm
which gives per unit mass
PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J
<span>Velocities are vectors so we can add them!
Let's let +x be East and -x be West.
-0.9 + 2.7 = 1.8
Since our answer is positive that means East so the answer is C.</span>
Answer:
7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east
Explanation:
The average velocity of the person is given by:
where
d is the displacement
t is the time taken
In this problem,
d = 15 km is the displacement
t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed
so the average velocity is
and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).
We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:
d = 15 km = 15,000 m
t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s
