Gravitational potential energy = mgh or mass times acceleration due to gravity times the height

Here the mass is 0.25kg, the height is 10m, and gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so...

GPE = (0.25)(10)(9.8)

GPE = 24.5 J

Prove that s=ut+½at²

katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

Distance travelled = Area under the line

= ut + ½ (v-u)t

Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t and so (v-u) = at

Therefore,

Distance travelled (s) = ut + ½ (v-u)t = ut + ½ (at)t = ut + ½ at²

Thus,proved.

How does an increase in temperature generally affect the rate of a reaction?

Zigmanuir [339]

Most reactions are exothemic. If the forward reaction of an equilibrium reaction is exothemic then the reverse reaction must be endothermic.

If a system in equilibrium is heated, it will move in exothermic direction to give out heat energy.

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.

Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

$L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

$1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

$1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }$

$\frac{1}{100,000} = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

$v = 0.999999995$ $c$

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

Several short trips taken from a cold start can use ....... as much fuel as a longer multi-purpose trip covering the same distan

Lerok [7]

Several short trips taken from a cold start can use ...twice... as much fuel as a longer multi-purpose trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm.

In cold weather, properly designed gasoline aids in engine starting, while in hot weather, it helps prevent vapor lock. In order to meet the requirements of a modern engine, the fuel must have the volatility for which the engine's fuel system was built and an antiknock quality strong enough to prevent knock during routine operation.

During the intake phase, the air and fuel are combined before being introduced into the cylinder. The spark ignites the fuel-air mixture after the piston compresses it, resulting in combustion. During the power stroke, the piston is propelled by the expansion of the combustion gases.

viktelen [127]

Do find the percentage you:
5.43/15.6=0.34

Time by 100:
34%

Closest answer is 35%

Hope this helps ;)
