Answer:

The answer to your question is Pe = 2943 kJ

Explanation:

Data

mass = 60 kg

height = 5000 m

gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Potential energy is the energy objects have due to their position.

Formula

 Pe = mgh

- Substitution

 Pe = (60)(9,81)(5000)

- Simplification

 Pe = 2943000 Joules or Pe = 2943 kJ

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
Studentka2010 [4]
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

As a physics instructor hurries to the bus stop, her bus passes her, stops ahead, and begins loading passengers. She runs at 6.0
Alika [10]

velocity of the physics instructor with respect to bus

v = 6 m/s

acceleration of the bus is given as

a = 2 m/s^2

acceleration of instructor with respect to bus is given as

a = -2 m/s^2

now the maximum distance that instructor will move with respect to bus is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 6^2 = 2(-2)(d)

-36 = - 4 d

d = 9 m

so the position of the instructor with respect to door is exceed by

\delta x = 9 - 6 = 3 m

so it will be moved maximum by 3 m distance

Use the table below to calculate the acceleration of the object. Time (s) 0.0 3.0 6.0 9.0 Velocity (m/s) 0.0 1.2 2.4 3.6
antiseptic1488 [7]

explanation

a=average velocity/average time

average velocity=0.0+1.2+2.4+3.6/4

average velocity=7.2/4

average velocity=1.8 m/s

average time=0.0+3.0+6.0+9.0/4

average time=18/4

average time=4.5 s

a= average velocity/average time

a=1.8/4.5

a=0.4 m/s²
