Answer:

539,000 J

Explanation:

The equation for finding potential energy is PE = m × g × h, where m = mass (kg), g = gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h = height (m).

So, multiply [500 kg], [110 m], and [9.8 m/s^2], so the answer would then be 539,000 J.

Potential energy=PE
PE=mgh
m=mass in kilograms.
g=9.8 m/s
h=height in meters

Data:
mass=500 Kg
h=110 m

PE=(500 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(110 m)=539000 joules

answer: The potential energy of this train would be 539000 J.

A car moves 60 meters as it accelerates from 0 m/s to 50 m/s. determine the acceleration of the car
Marizza181 [45]

Acceleration = speed/ time

    a = Δv/Δ t  

as Δv = v₂ - v₁  / t

a   =   50m /s - 0 m/s  /  60m

=      50m/s / 60m

=    0.834s⁻¹

A stone is dropped from a bridge 45 meters above the surface river. It takes the stone 4.6 seconds to reach the water surface. F
Hunter-Best [27]
The most interesting thing about this problem is that in order to use all of the given information, you need to ignore the laws of Physics, and never mind what the stone would really do if dropped from a real bridge in the real world.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

Displacement =
        Straight path from the start point to the finish point  =  45 meters down .
Time = 4.6 seconds

Average velocity  =  45/4.6 = <em>9.783 meters/second down</em>

==================================

In the real world, a dropped stone would only take  3.03  seconds
to fall 45 meters.

Alternatively, a stone that fell for  4.6 seconds from rest would fall
103.7 meters, with an average velocity of  22.5 meters/second down.

But we accepted the given information, and did the best we could do
with it.

Why are Substances used as perfumes are usually in a liquid state
tester [92]

Answer:

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant oils in an ethanol/water solvent. The ethanol/water mixture, which is volatile, evaporates from the droplets within a few seconds, leaving behind a droplet of the fragrant compounds in the perfume. These compounds will also eventually evaporate to form a vapor of the fragrant molecules
