The first choice is correct.  It has both.

-- It has kinetic energy because it's "fast-moving" water.

-- It has gravitational potential energy because it's hundreds of feet
above the riverbed that it's getting ready to fall down to, as soon as
it goes over the edge.

A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of
Paul [167]

Answer:

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

Explanation:

<em>Pressure:</em><em>This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of  pressure is N/m²</em>

<em>p = Dgh............... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.</em>

<em>From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.</em>

<em>p₁ = p₂</em>

<em>Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water</em>

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

<em>h₂ = 348.14 cm</em>

<em>The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm</em>

A Martian leaves Mars in a spaceship that is heading to Venus. On the way, the spaceship passes earth with a speed v = 0.80c rel
hjlf

To find the relative distance from one point to another it is necessary to apply the Relativity equations.

Under the concept of relativity the distance measured from a spatial object is given by the equation

l = l_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

Where

l_0= Relative length

v = Velocity of the spaceship

c = Speed of light

Replacing with our values we have that

l = l_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

l = 1.2*10^{11} \sqrt{1-\frac{0.8c^2}{c^2}}

l = 1.2*10^{11} \sqrt{1-0.8^2}

l = 7.2*10^{10}m

Therefore the distance between Mars and Venus measured by the Martin is 7.2*10^{10}m
