Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J

Which element accumulates in the environment due to the use of
marissa [1.9K]

To Find :

Which element accumulates in the environment due to the use of  fertilizers.

Solution :

Most of the fertilizers used in daily practice are nitrogen fertilizers .

When soil became waterlogged, soil organisms take the oxygen they need from nitrates, leaving the nitrogen in a gaseous form which escapes into the air.

Also, nitrogen is very stable and did not participate in most of the reactions.

So, nitrogen is accumulates in the environment .

Therefore, option C. is correct.

Calculate the current through a 3.0 ω resistor with a voltage of 9.0 v across it.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 3 A

Explanation:

According to<u> Ohm's law</u>:  

V=R.I

Where:

V=9 V is the voltage

R=3\Omega is the resistance of the resistor

I is the electric current (the value we want to find)

Isolating I:

I=\frac{V}{R}

I=\frac{9 V}{3\Omega}

Finally:

I=3 A

What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer's life?
34kurt
<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>
