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

Trava [24]

Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.

A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend
Viefleur [7K]

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s

Is an object moving in uniform circular motion accelerating?
dexar [7]
Yes.

-- 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.
It means ANY change in the speed OR direction of motion ...
speeding up, slowing down, or turning.

-- If an object is NOT moving in  straight line at constant speed,
then its motion is accelerated.

-- In circular motion, or even just going around a curve,
the object is accelerating, because its direction is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.

A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 3 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the
yuradex [85]

Answer:

\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}

Explanation:

We know that the tangent function relates the angle of the right triangle that forms the hot air balloon rising:

tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}\\y=xtan\theta(1)

Differentiating (1) with respect to time, we get:

\frac{dy}{dt}=tan\theta\frac{dx}{dt}+xsec^{2}\theta\frac{d\theta}{dt}\\

\frac{dx}{dt}=0 since x is a constant value. Replacing:

\frac{dy}{dt}=3mi(sec^{2}\frac{\pi}{3})0.1\frac{rad}{min}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}
