Answer:

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 392 J

Explanation:

given data

mass of the person m  = 80 kg

height of the centre of mass Δh = 0.50 m

to find out

change in gravitational potential energy

solution

we get here change in gravitational potential energy that is express here as

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = m × g × Δh     .........1

put here value we get

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = m × g × Δh

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 80 × 9.8 × 0.50

change in gravitational potential energy Δ PE = 392 J

An object is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/s2.
Alex

Answer:

12s

Explanation:

the formula is

s = u×t + 0.5×a×t²

where:

s is the displacement of the object at this time (so it's equal to 0)

u is the initial speed

t is the time you have to find

a is the acceleration due to gravity

0 = 15 \frac{m}{s}  \times t + 0.5 \times 2.5 \frac{m}{{s}^{2} }  \times  {t}^{2}

15 \frac{m}{s}  \times t = 0.5 \times 2.5 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }   \times  {t}^{2}

15 \frac{m}{s} = 1.25 \frac{m}{{s}^{2} }  \times  {t}

t =  \frac{15 \frac{m}{ {s}^{} } }{1.25 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } }

t = 12s

1) An average soccer ball has a mass of .4 kg. If a soccer ball is kicked with a force of 750 Newtons, what is the acceleration
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

#1 uses Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma so filling in:

750 = .4a and

a = 1875 m/s/s

#2 uses d = rt so

d = 12.3(25) and

d = 307.5 m

If you double the pressure on the surface of a can of water, the buoyant force on a stone placed in that water will _______
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

C) not change

Explanation:

This question is  typically the principle of Archimedes. If the pressure on the surface of the can is doubled, the buoyant force on a stone would not change because it would be equal to the weight of the water that is displaced.

A battery derives electric energy from _____energy?
sammy [17]
A). nuclear
No.  There were batteries long long before we learned
how to use nuclear energy.  Also, there is no danger of
exposure to radioactivity when you're working with a battery.

b). mechanical
No.  A battery has no moving parts.

c). gravitational
No.  No matter how high you take a battery in an airplane, or
how far you lower it into a mine-shaft, its characteristics don't
change.  In fact, batteries even work on things that are in orbit.

d). chemical
Bingo.
