Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:
U = M*H*g
where g is the gravitational acceleration:
g = 9.8m/s^2
Then:
"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"
M = 8kg
H = 2.2m
U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J
"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"
M = 6kg
H = 3.2m
U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J
You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.
The state of matter that has particles that slide by one another is liquid because liquid is very slippery.
Answer:
To calculate the energy in joules, simply enter the mass of ammunition (in grams) that you use, and the fps that you've read from your Chrono unit.
A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.
