Using the word "Terminal" which means end, we can conclude that, in a nutshell, terminal velocity is when an object reaches a speed where it cannot go any faster. For example, if you jumped of the Empire State building, before you went "KURSPAT!" on the pavement below, you would enter Terminal Velocity. Your fall off the Empire State building would also be "terminal". eh? Hahahaha never try a physics joke.

What is the energy of a rock with a mass of 10.2 kg on a cliff that is 300 m height?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The potential energy of the rock is 30,000 J

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of its gravitational potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

$E=PE+KE$

where

PE is the gravitational potential energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field

KE is the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion

In this problem, the rock is at rest, so its kinetic energy is zero:

KE = 0

Therefore, the energy of the rock is just equal to its potential energy, which is:

$E=PE=mgh$

where

m = 10.2 kg is the mass of the rock

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h = 300 m is the height of the rock above the ground

Substituting and solving, we find

$PE=(10.2)(9.8)(300)=30,000 J$

Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves (see Chapter 24). Because of this transfer, the entropy

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

1. Decreases,

2. Increases,

3. Increases

Explanation:

The heat which is a product of sun's energy, is transferred from the sun to the earth through radiation, conduction or convention. This heat passes through the earth atmosphere, then warms it , before becoming heat energy.

Therefore, Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves . Because of this transfer, the entropy of the sun DECREASES, the entropy of the earth INCREASES and the entropy of the sun-earth system INCREASES.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The answer is "No, Hoverboards are risky, and riders are in danger of falling".

Explanation:

It's also known as a self-balanced scooter, it handheld electrical devices traveling on two wheels are hoverboards. It dominated the industry around 2015 and since then has become more and more successful. A rider is balanced on a frame between these wheels, driven by battery-powered lithium-ion batteries.
