A light year is a unit of distance. It is a distance that light can travel in a years time which is six trillion miles. It is used to measure the distances in space. To take one example, the distance to the next nearest big galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, from earth is 21,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.

What is the mass of a bird if it has a potential energy of 147J when flying at a height of 30 m above the ground?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0.5kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Potential energy = 147J

Height  = 30m

Unknown:

Mass of the bird  = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. Now, the expression for finding the potential energy is given as;

      P.E  = mgH

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H is the height

      147  = m x 9.8 x 30

         m = 0.5kg

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full. What is the depth of the tank if it is 0.500-m wide by 0.900
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

0.16 m

Explanation:

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full, and the density of gasoline is 6.8 × 10² kg/m³. We can find the volume occupied by the gasoline (volume of the tank).

50.0 kg × (1 m³/6.8 × 10² kg) = 0.074 m³

The volume of the rectangular tank is:

volume = width × length × depth

depth = volume / width × length

depth = 0.074 m³ / 0.500 m × 0.900 m

depth = 0.16 m
