Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy: This is defined as the energy possessed by a body due to it's position in the gravitational field. The S.I unit is Joules(J).

Applying,

E.p = mgh..................... Equation 1

Where E.p = Gravitational potential Energy, m = mass of the object, h = height of the object above the surface of the earth, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2.5 kg, h = 300 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

E.p = 2.5(300)(9.8)

E.p = 7350 J.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

$31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}$

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by $Us=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ , where $k$ is the spring constant of the spring and $x$ is displacement from point of equilibrium.

When released, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ , where $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ is the object's velocity.

Thus, we have:

$Us=KE,\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Substituting given values, we get:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot 50\cdot 0.2^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 0.002\cdot v^2,\\v^2=\frac{50\cdot 0.2^2}{0.002},\\v^2=1000,\\v\approx \boxed{31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}}$

Is being social media famous worth real-life relationships?

Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Social media fame isnt worth it, because youre not really able to connect with people. Real life relationships with friends, family, and everything else is way more important. having people notice you or be attracted to you through the internet is nothing compared to real life social interactions. Dont leave people just to be online, youre going to regret it.
