Answer:

1. Mass

2. Height

3. Gravitational Force Field

Explanation:

The three factors that decide how much gravitational potential energy a body has are: 1) The mass of the body itself, 2) The relative height at which the body is, because gravitational force varies with height i.e distance away from earth surface. 3) and finally the strength of the gravitational field the body is in.

If a road does not have a bicycle lane, where must a bicyclist ride their bicycle?

DIA [1.3K]

A bicyclist can ride their bicycle still on the road. Bicycle riders be able to take the public ways which has the similar rights and accountability as motorists and are subject to the same guidelines and protocols. The law says that individuals who ride bikes should ride as nearby to the right side of the road as likely excluding under the following conditions: when passing, preparing for a left go, evading risks, if the lane is too constricted to share, or if oncoming a place where a right turn is approved. In a road which has a bike lane the bicyclists roving slower than road traffic must custom the bike way excluding when creating a left turn, passing, evading hazardous settings, or impending a place where a right turn is approved.

The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gilding bird is measured to be 52.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$d=7.115s$

Explanation:

What problem says can be written mathematically as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$v=Velocity\\t=Time\\d=Distance$

The problem itself it's really simple, we only need to replace the data provided in the previous equation, but first, let's convert the units of the velocity from cm/s to m/s because we have to work with the same units and working in meters is the most apropiate action, because is the base unit of length in the International System of Units:

$52\frac{cm}{s} *\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.52\frac{m}{s}$

Now, we can replace the data in the equation and find the time it will take the bird to travel 3.7 m:

$0.52=\frac{3.7}{t}$

Solving for t, multiplying by t both sides, and dividing by 0.52 both sides:

$t=\frac{3.7}{0.52} =7.115384615s\approx7.115s$

An automobile engine delivers 47.4 hp. how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.82 × 105 j of work? one horsepower is e

kogti [31]

1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, so the power of the engine is
$P=47.4 hp \cdot 746 \frac{W}{hp}=35360 W$
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
$P= \frac{E}{t}$
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is $E=6.82 \cdot 10^5 J$ . Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate the time t needed to do this amount of work:
$t = \frac{E}{P}= \frac{6.82 \cdot 10^5 J}{35360 W}=19.3 s$
