Answer:
GPE = 388.08 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 0.550kg
Speed = 335 m/s
Height = 72 meters
We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s²
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;
Where;
G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
GPE = 388.08 Joules.
The matter from the explosion can reach him, hitting him. He should be able to feel that.
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)
Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample
Explanation:
The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.
During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.
As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.
K.E. = Kinetic energy
T = temperature
R= gas constant
There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.
i) that the boulder is above ground.
ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.
iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.
The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.
All the above methods are estimating methods.
*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.
S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>
Density of water
If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.
If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.
This is what I think after correction and allthe best!
