PEg = Mass x Height x Gravity. So it doesn't matter how much PEg she started with, since you're finding how much it changed when she walked down 2.5 meters of stairs. So by plugging into the equation, you'll find how much potential energy was lost by walking down. (I'll leave it up to you since idk if you use 10 or 9.8 as gravity)

To find gravitational potential energy you need to multiply weight * height. The weight in this situation would be 380-N. Our height is 2.5 m. 380 *2.5= 950, or 950 J of gravitational potential energy.

What evidence is there that the Universe began in a big bang?<br><br>​
NeTakaya

Answer: For me personally i have a Biblical faith and first of all there is evidence that looks convincing that the big bang made the universe, but man wants answers and God in the Bible says he created the universe for us it is hard to believe it but i have faith.

What is the function of the bronchioles?<br> please help
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The bronchioles function is to deliver air to tiny sacs called alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

Explanation:

Bronchioles are air passages inside the lungs that branch off like tree limbs from the bronchi—the two main air passages into which air flows from the trachea (windpipe) after being inhaled through the nose or mouth. The bronchioles deliver air to tiny sacs called alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a). \frac{\dot{W}}{m}= 311 kJ/kg

b). \frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.9113 kJ/kg-K

Explanation:

a). The energy rate balance equation in the control volume is given by

\dot{Q} - \dot{W}+m(h_{1}-h_{2})=0

\frac{\dot{Q}}{m} = \frac{\dot{W}}{m}+m(h_{1}-h_{2})

\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= \frac{\dot{Q}}{m}+c_{p}(T_{1}-T_{2})

\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= -30+1.1(980-670)

\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= 311 kJ/kg

b). Entropy produced from the entropy balance equation in a control volume is given by

\frac{\dot{Q}}{T_{boundary}}+\dot{m}(s_{1}-s_{2})+\dot{\sigma _{gen}}=0

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-\frac{\dot{Q}}{m}}{T_{boundary}}+(s_{2}-s_{1})

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-\frac{\dot{Q}}{m}}{T_{boundary}}+c_{p}ln\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}-R.ln\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}}

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-30}{315}+1.1ln\frac{670}{980}-0.287.ln\frac{100}{400}

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.0952+0.4183+0.3978

\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.9113 kJ/kg-K

\small\bf \: let \: the \: distance \: of \: the \: man \: from \: the \: cliff \: be \: x

\small\bf \: thus \: time \: taken \: by \: sound \: to \: hit \: the \: cilff \: and \: return =  \frac{2x}{v}  = 1

\bf \to \: x =  \frac{320}{2} m = 160m

\small \bf \: thus \: the \: distance \: between \: the \: cliffs \:  = 160m \times 2 = 320m
