<span>82.0 kg I am going to assume that there is a typo for the number of joules of energy. Doing a google search for this exact question showed this question multiple times with a value of 4942 joules which makes sense given how close the "o" key is to the "9" key. Because of this, I will assume that the correct value for the number of joules is 4942. With that in mind, here's the solution. The gravitational potential energy is expressed as the mass multiplied by the height, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. So: E = MHA Solving for M, the substituting the known values and calculating gives: E = MHA E/(HA) = M 4942/(6.15*9.8) = M 4942/60.27 = M 81.99767712 = M Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 82.0 kg</span>

Gravitational potential energy is given by 

 U=mgh

 where 

 m is the mass of the object 

 h is the height of the object above the ground (Earth's surface)

 g is the gravitational acceleration constant, 9.8ms2.

 For h=6.15m and U=4042J, we can rearrange to solve for m:

 m=U/gh

 m=(4042J)/((9.8m/s^2)*(6.15m))

 m=67.06 Kg

Brad walks and jogs to schooll every day. He averages 5 km/hr walking and 9 km/hr jogging. The distane from home to shool is 6 k
Vitek1552 [10]
We know that
Distance = speed x time
Let w be the time Brad spent walking. The time spent jogging will be 1 - w
6 = 5w + 9(1 - w)
w = 0.75 hours
Distance walked = 0.75 x 5
= 3.75 km

An RC circuit is connected across an ideal DC voltage source through an open switch. The switch is closed at time t = 0 s. Which
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

e)

Explanation:

In an RC series circuit, at any time, the sum of the voltages through the resistor and the capacitor must be constant and equal to the voltage of the DC voltage source, in order to be compliant with KVL.

At= 0, as the voltage through the capacitor can't change instantaneously, all the voltage appears through the resistor, which means that a current flows, that begins to charge the capacitor, up to a point that the voltage through the capacitor is exactly equal to the DC voltage, so no current flows in the circuit anymore, and the charge in the capacitor reaches to its maximum value.
