The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0,  therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.

What is the efficiency of a 0.60 kg basketball that, one dropped from a 2.0 m height (from basket rim) , rebounds to 1.2 m in he
Zinaida [17]
<h2>Let us find the efficiency : Ans = 0.6</h2>

Explanation:

we know :

efficiency = output/input

We also know that :

output = m x g x h

where :

m = mass of body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of body from floor

Thus, output = 0.6 x 10 x 1.2 = 7.2J

Similarly ,input = 0.6 x 10 x 2 = 12J

Thus efficiency = 7.2/12 = 0.6

In one sentence describe how the electricity in an action potential is generated
vova2212 [387]

Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

Calculate the energy transferred by an appliance using mains electricity (230V) if the charge is 150C. Give your answer in kiloj
Otrada [13]

The energy transferred by the appliance using mains electricity is 17.3 KJ

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Potential difference (V) = 230V
  • Charge (Q) = 150 C
  • Energy (E) =?

<h3>How to determine the energy transferred </h3>

The energy transferred can be obtained as follow:

E = ½QV

E = ½ × 150 × 230

E = 75 × 230

E = 17250 J

Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoules

E = 17250 / 1000

E = 17.3 KJ

Determine whether each of the following is exothermic or endothermic and indicate the sign of δh. A. Natural gas burning on a st
Oxana [17]

Answer:

A) exothermic, δh is negative

B) endothermic, δh is positive

C) endothermic, δh is positive

Explanation:

And endothermic process absorbs heat from its sorrounding, cooling the sorrounding down. Whereas an exothermic process releases heat to its sorrounding raising the temperature of the sorrounding system.
