According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell.
Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h
Which means KE = m·g·h
We can solve for h:
h = KE / m·g
= 20 / (0.15 · 9.8)
= 13.6m
The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.
Answer: A,B, and E
Explanation: Just checked I got them right:)
We could take the easy way out and just say
(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .
But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________
" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .
(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.
(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules
That's
==> 1,188,000,000 joules
==> 1,188,000 kilojoules
==> 1,188 megajoules
==> 1.188 gigajoules
Atsa nawfulotta energy !
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with.
That's no common ordinary household appliance. 110 kw is something like
147 horsepower. In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole. Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops. And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.
A reasonable hypothesis would be that, nothing changes with can A (no expansion at all), and Can C is expanding, but Can B is expanding even faster than Can C. (I don't know, if this hypothesis is correct though)
