Gravitational potential energy = m * g* h

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential is referred as the energy spent to move the mass from one point to another. It is represented in the unit as Joules per kilogram.

Gravitational potential energy = m * g * h where m denotes the mass of the object, g denotes the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m / s 2, and h denotes the height in meters.

The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.

Two sound waves, from two different sources with the same frequency of 420 Hz travel in the same direction at 336 m/s. The sourc

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Pi(3.14) radians or 180º degrees

Explanation:

First of all, we need to obtain the wavelength of a wave traveling to the speed of sound and 420 Hz of frequency.

The formula is:

$l=wavevelocity/frequency$

where l = wavelength in meters

With current values:

l = 336 [m/s]/420[1/s] = 0.8 meters

Since a complete cycle (360º or 2pi radians) needs 0.8 meters to complete, 0.4 meters or 40 cm is just half of it, making a 180º degree phase or 3.14 radians.

35. What would a ship's position be if that ship started at

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The final position of the ship after the given time period is 42 km West of B.

Explanation:

Given;

average velocity of the ship, v = 35 km/h

time taken for the ship to reach point D, t = 1.2 hours

The position of the ship after the given time period is calculated as follows;

x = v x t
