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

Un auto si muove lungo una strada rettilinea​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Un'auto si muove lungo un percorso rettilineo con velocità variabile come mostrato in figura. Quando l'auto è in possesso di A, la sua velocità è 10 ms-1 e quando è in posizione B, la sua velocità è 20 ms-1. Se l'auto impiega 5 secondi per spostarsi da A a B, trova l'accelerazione dell'auto.

A person runs up several flights of stairs and is exhausted at the top. Later the same person walks up the same stairs and does
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the person depends on its mass and the height raised. It also depends on the acceleration due to gravity.

As the height raised and the mass of person is same. The value of acceleration due to gravity is also constant So, the work done is also same in both the cases.

will the value of g be affected by the radius of the earth? consider the real shape of the earth. compare the acceleration due t
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Yes, the value of g affected by the radius.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity of 2 objects is

F_{gravity} = G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}, where m1 and m2 are the masses of the 2 objects, r is the radius, and G is the gravitational constant, which is approximately 6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}.

Therefore, as the radius if bigger, the force of gravity is going to be smaller exponentially.

What is it called when something dissolves into something else
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is dissolving and the end product is a solution.

Explanation:

Solubility is an property of a substance to get dissolved into another. When a substance, termed as solute, dissolves in another substance, termed as solvent, we get a solution.

Larger molecules of the solute breaks because of weak covalent bonds between their molecules and pairs up with the smaller molecules of the solvent and thus dissolves in it. Not all elements can serve solutes or solvents as some have strong forces that bind them together. For example sugar is a solute in water but oil is not soluble in water.

If 5 complete oscillations of a sound wave pass through a point in 0.5 s and the speed of sound was recorded to be 10 m/s, then
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

λ = 2.5m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Speed of sound (v) = 10m/s

If 5 oscillations pass through a point in 0.5seconds;

Time taken (period) for 1 oscillation is :

Number of oscillations / total time taken

5 / 0.5 = 0.25 seconds

Wavelength, period and Velocity are related by the formula:

v = λ / T

λ = v * T

λ = 10 * 0.25

λ = 2.5 m
