Answer:

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Explanation:

 Mass of rock = 25 kg

 Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

 Height = 42 m

 Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

 PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Answer:

The answer is Potential energy is equal to 10500 Joules

Step by step Explanation:

1) Potential Energy is the energy that a body located at a certain height above the ground has.

2) The potential energy is expressed by the formula PE = mgh where (PE) is the potential energy (m) represents the mass, (g) represents the acceleration of gravity, and (h) represents the height.

3) Knowing this we can continue to replace the values given in the problem:

PE = (25Kg)(10m/s^2)(42m)

PE = 10500J

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a
Alchen [17]

The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\  s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2

The length of the window s is given by,

s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m

the height of the roof is 3.57 m

What type of bond results from the side‑on overlap of orbitals?
Serga [27]

Answer:

A pi bond

Explanation:

A pi bond is a type of covalent bond that results from the formation of a molecular orbital by the side-to-side overlap of atomic orbitals along a plane perpendicular to a line connecting the nuclei of the atoms.
