Potencial Energy=hma
Where
Potencial Energy =E= 54.9J
h=?
m=8kg
a=9.8m/s^2
You need to know that 1 J=1(kgm^2)/s^2

Isolate h=E/(ma)
h=(54.9)/(8*9.8)

Answer: The potential energy for a lifted object is U = m*a*h

where m is the mass, h is the height and a is the acceleration.

in our problem the mass is m = 8kg, the height is the thing we want to find, a is the gravitational acceleration, 9.8 m/s^2 and U = 54.9j

then our problem is:

54.9j = h*9.8*8 kg*m/s^2

then h = 54.9/(9.8*8) = 0.7m

Then the backpack is lifted 0.7 meters.

Determine the direction in which an electrical signal is carried in a typical multipolar neuron
choli [55]
The direction in which an electrical signal is carried in a typical multi-polar neuron is:
Dendrites, cell body, axon
Specialized projection of neurons are dendrites and axon. The central part of neuron is cell body. So, the electrical signal is carried in a direction that first dendrites carried the signal then it goes towards cell body and then to axon.

State and explain Gauss's law in
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The electric field of an infinite line charge with a uniform linear charge density can be obtained by a using Gauss' law. Considering a Gaussian surface in the form of a cylinder at radius r, the electric field has the same magnitude at every point of the cylinder and is directed outward.

During high fever a wet clean cloth is kept on the forehead of the patient why ​
Drupady [299]

Answer:

During high fever a wet cloth is kept on the forehead of a person to decrease the temperature of body. ... When the wet cloth is placed on the forehead, water in wet cloth starts to evaporate and it starts to absorb a lot of heat from our body. Hence it is used to decrease the temperature of body.
