Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.
Explanation:
The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:
U = M*H*g
where g is the gravitational acceleration:
g = 9.8m/s^2
Then:
"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"
M = 8kg
H = 2.2m
U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J
"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"
M = 6kg
H = 3.2m
U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J
You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.
That's the definition of the PERIOD of the vibration.
It's exactly the reciprocal of the vibration's frequency.
Answer:
Lifetime = 4.928 x 10^-32 s
Explanation:
(1 / v2 – 1 / c2) x2 = T2
T2 = (1/ 297900000 – 1 / 90000000000000000) 0.0000013225
T2 = (3.357 x 10^-9 x 1.11 x 10^-17) 1.3225 x 10^-6
T2 = (3.726 x 10^-26) 1.3225 x 10^-6 = 4.928 x 10^-32 s
D. rates of soil erosion are much lower during droughts that last several years
