Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the rock, m = 20 kg

Initially the rock is at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the rock is, v = 90 m/s

Gravitational potential energy is given by :

U=mgh............(1)

h is the height.

Using third equation of motion :

v^2-u^2=2ah

or

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value of h in equation (1)

U=mg\times \dfrac{v^2}{2g}

U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}

U=\dfrac{20\ kg\times (90\ m/s)^2}{2}

U=81000\ J

or

U = 81 kJ

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

<span>GPE=81000J or 81kJ</span>

Explanation

Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x ? 

<span>To find H use one of the equation of motion </span>

<span>= [(90)^2 - 0 ] / 2(9.8) </span>

<span>Potential Energy = mgh = 20 x 9.8 x 8100 /2(9.8) = 81000 J</span>

Danny Diver weighs 500 N and steps off a diving board 10 m above the water. Danny hits the water with kinetic energy of
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Danny hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

The Weight of Danny Diver,

F = 500 N

m*g= 500 N

He steps off a diving board 10 m above the water.

h=10 m

when Danny diver hits water he generates the kinetic energy.

We need to find the kinetic energy of the water.

Let kinetic energy is K.

K = m*g*h

Where g is acceleration due to gravity.

that g= 9.8 m/s^2

now substituting the values in above equation

K= (500) * 10

K= 5000 J

Hence,

he hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J.

Hedea made a study chart about nuclear energy. Which best describes the error in Hedea’s chart? The nuclei of atoms are split ap
Lerok [7]

Option (d) is correct.Fission and fusion convert nuclear energy to both radiant and thermal energy.

fission is a process in which bigger nucleus breaks into two or more smaller nuclei with the liberation of a large amount of energy.

Fusion is a process in which two small nuclei fuse together to from an intermediate size nucleus with the liberation of tremendous amount of energy

During fission and fusion, energy is released in the form of both light (radiation) and heat.we can then convert that energy into useful form.

Why must the operating temperature of a heat engine be higher than that of the cold sink?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

It is important to note, that the 2nd Law of thermodynamics plays no fundamental role in answering this question; we need a heat sink because the entropy is a state function, and at the end of the reversible process (which is visualized through the Carnot cycle diagram relevant for this problem), the entropy value of the system must return to the value it had originally.

What happens when the fuel in a car engine combustion?​
Trava [24]

In a spark ignition engine, the fuel is mixed with air and then inducted into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke.
