Ep is gravitational potential energy
m is mass (kg)
g is gravitational field strength (N/kg)
h is height (m)

Ep= mgh
= 80kg*9.8N/kg*100m
= 78 400 J

You throw a 20-n rock vertically into the air from ground level. you observe that when it is a height 15.4 m above the ground, i
gayaneshka [121]

I believe there are two things which we asked to find here:

1. its speed just as it left the ground

2. find its maximum height

 

Solutions:

1. We use the formula:

ΔKE = - ΔPE

where KE is kinetic energy = ½ mv^2, and PE is potential energy = m g h, Δ = change

Therefore:

½ m (v2^2 – v1^2) = m g (h1 – h2)

at initial point, point 1: h1 = 0, v1 = ?

at final point, point 2: h2 = 15.4 m, v2 = 24.2 m/s

½ (24.2^2 – v1^2) = 9.8 (0 – 15.4)

585.64 – v1^2 = -301.84

-v1^2 = 887.48

v1 = 29.8 m/s

So the rock was travelling at 29.8 m/s as it left the ground.

 

2. The maximum height (hmax) reached is calculated using the formula:

v1^2 = 2 g hmax

Rewriting in terms of hmax:

hmax = v1^2 / 2 g

hmax = (29.8)^2 / (2 * 9.8)

hmax = 45.3 m

Therefore the rock reached a maximum height of 45.3 meters.

Active listening definition​
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Active listening is a technique that is used in counseling, training, and solving disputes or conflicts. It requires that the listener fully concentrate, understand, respond and then remember what is being said. This is opposed to other listening techniques like reflective listening and empathic listening.
