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.

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 2.5 x 10-15 m before

Tasya [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, $d=2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m$

Speed of light, $c=3\times 10^{8}\ m\s$

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. The speed is given by :

$c=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^{-15}\ m}{3\times 10^{8}\ m/s}$

$t=8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$

So, the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur is $8.33\times 10^{-24}\ s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
