A rock has a mass of 25kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s and the height of the rock is 42 m. Find the potential energ

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

How much heat energy (in megajoules) is needed to convert 7 kg of ice at -9°C C to water at 0°C?
Molodets [167]

Answer:

hence option A is correct

Explanation:

heat required from -9°C to 0°C ice = mass × specific heat of ice ×change in temperature

heat required from -9°C to 0°C ice = 7×2100×9 =132300 J =0.1323 MJ

( HERE SPECIFIC HEAT OF ICE IS A CONSTANT VALUE OF 2100

J/(kg °C )

heat required from  0°C ice to 0°C water = mass× specific heat of fusion of ice

                                                             = 7×3.36×10^5

                                                              = 2.352 × 10^6 J

                                                              = 2.352 MJ

TOTAL HEAT ENERGY REQUIRED = 0.1323 MJ +2.352 MJ

                                                          = 2.4843 MJ

hence option A is correct

A big wheel at a theme park has a diameter of 14m and people on the ride complete one revolution in 24s. calculate the distance
just olya [345]

Explanation:

We'll call the radius r and the diameter d:

We also assume that the riders are at a distance r = d/2 = 7m from the center of the wheel.

The period of the wheel is 24s. The tangent velocity of the wheel (and the riders) will be: (2pi/T)*r = 0.8 m/s (circa).

It means that in 3 minutes (180 seconds) they'll run 0.8 m/s * 180s = 144m.

Hopefully I understood the question. If yes, that's the answer.

<h2>The answer got is reasonable.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 300 m/s  

Acceleration, a = ?

Final velocity, v = 400 m/s  

Displacement,s = 4 km = 4000 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

400² = 300² + 2 x a x 4000

a = 8.75 m/s² = 8.8 m/s²

The acceleration is 8.8 m/s²

The answer got is reasonable.
