What is the gpe of a 200 kg hot air ballon 21,000 m above the ground?

Physics

stiv31 [10]3 years ago
8 0

gravitational Potential energy is given by

GPE = mgh

here we have

m = 200 kg

h = 21000 m

now we will have

GPE = 200(9.8)(21000)

GPE = 4.116 \times 10^7 J

so GPE of balloon will be 41160000 J above the given height from ground

Aneli [31]

Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of energy, potential energy equals kinetic energy hence

mgh=0.5mv^{2}

Therefore

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity, m is the mass of the object, h is the height and v is the speed of the wallet

Taking g as 9.81 then

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 11.5}=15.02098532  m/s\approx 15 m/s

9. Seismic waves are
Brilliant_brown [7]

d. both a and b

Explanation:

Seismic waves are both transverse and compressional or longitudinal waves.

A seismic wave is an elastic wave that causes a sudden disturbance in earth materials.

  • Seismic waves are both longitudinal and transverse waves.
  • There are two main types of seismic waves which are the surface and body waves.
  • The surface waves runs on the earth surface. These are the rayleigh and love waves.
  • The surface waves causes damages on the earth surface as they are both longitudinal and transverse.
  • Body waves moves within the earth surface. They are p-waves and s-waves.
  • P-waves are longitudinal or compressional waves that propagates within the earth surface.
  • S-waves are transverse waves that moves perpendicularly to their direction of propagation.
