Answer:

A. potential energy is 258720 Joule

Explanation:

A.Gravitational potential energy is: PE = m × g × h

velocity =  15.33 m/s when the car reaches the bottom of the hill.

where, m = mass

            g = acceleration due to gravity

            h = height from the bottom of hill.

The potential energy is : m×g×h

                                     =(2200×9.8×12)

                                     =258720 Joule

B. at the bottom of the hill, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so PE at top = KE at bottom

                    kinetic energy= \frac{1}{2}(m*v^{2})

where v = velocity

          m= mass

therefore,               v=\sqrt\frac{2*K.E}{m} {}

                         or,  v=\sqrt{\frac{2*258720}{2200} }

                         or,   v=15.33 m/s

Which of the following is an illuminated object? a lightbulb a fire the Sun the Moon
Harlamova29_29 [7]
The lightbulb, the fire, and the Sun all create light from some energy source.

The Moon doesn't create light.  The parts of it that the Sun shines on
are visible, the parts of it that the Sun doesn't shine on are not visible. 

Just like a rock on the ground at night, the Moon must be illuminated
by a flashlight in order to be seen.  The Sun is the flashlight.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

Using y = ut + 1/2gt² where u = initial speed of block = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and t = time of fall = 2.5 s and y = height of fall.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = ut + 1/2gt²

y = 0 m/s × 2.5 s + 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (2.5 s)²

y = 0 m + 4.9 m/s² × 6.25 s²

y = 0 m + 30.625 m

y = 30.625 m

y ≅ 30.63 m

So, the brick fell 30.63 m

Hoochie [10]
Convert the units of power,W = 7 hp = 7 * 745.69 = 5219.83 WCalculate the power input to the pump using the efficiency of the pump equationn=Wpump/Wshaft
Substitute 0.82 for n and 5219.83 for Wshaft0.82=Wpump/5219.83   Wpump=0.82*5219.83=4280.26 WCalculate the mass flow ratein=Wpump/(gz_2 )Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and z_2 is the elevation of water. Substitute 4280.26 for Wpump, 9.81 m/s^2 for g, and 19m for z_2in = 4280.26 / 9.81 * 19 = 22.9640 m^3/sCalculate the volume flow rate of waterV=m/ρWhere ρ is the density of water. Substitute 22.9640  m^3/s for in and 1000  m^3/kg for ρ, we get V = 22.9640 / 1000 = 0.0230 kg/sTherefore, the volume flow rate of water is 0.0230 kg/s

According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown, what would best represent the
iren2701 [21]

The  best represent the size of visible light will be C. Protozoa

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the  frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light

the best represent the size of visible light is Protozoa, According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown,
