1.47x10^5 Joules
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.
These are more of ideas to help your brain invent something less chessy...
Erosion is like corrosion, with no acid.
Erosion happens 'cuz the surface get frozen and beaten by the ocean. (they kinda rhyme) :)
Erosion is the transportation of, the deportation...
~OR~
I cant think of anything for weathering but i got something good, but its still cheesy/ ):
Erosions' got the grooves and so it moves. But weathering breakdown and changes so its molecules changes.
I'm sorry these kinda suck...
Answer:
kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.
which is 4320000=1/2×m×23^2.
which is 4320000=1/2×m×529.
4320000=264.5m.
m=4320000/264.5.
m=16332.70~16333g
Explanation:
Calculate position vectors in a multidimensional displacement problem. Solve for the displacement in two or three dimensions. Calculate the velocity vector
