As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

U = mgH

here we have

m = mass = 120 kg

g = 9.81 m/s^2

h = height = 8.2 m

now from above formula

U = 120kg (9.81 m/s^2) (8.2 m)

U = 9653.04 J

so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch

Given data:

height of cough from ground floor (h) = 8.2 m,

                         mass of the cough (m) = 120 kg,

find gravitational Potential energy (U) =?

            acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s²

Gravitational potential energy is defined as "the energy possessed by an object because of its position in the gravitational field".  This principle can be applied to objects that are over the earth's surface and gravitational constant assumed to be 9.81 m/s².

Gravitational potential energy also defined as work done in moving the object  from infinite to a particular point by the effect of gravity.

Therefore, mathematically

          Grvitational Potential energy

                                 U = m.g.h  Joules

                       where,

                                   m= mass of object in kg

                                   g = gravitational constant in m/s² (g=9.81 m/s²)

                                   h = height of the object from ground in m

                                   U = 120 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 8.2 m

                                    = 9653.04 J

<em>The gravitational potential energy is 9653.04 Joules</em>

Two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. If wave X has a greater frequency than wave Y
____ [38]

Answer:

Wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

The relation between the speed of a wave, its wavelength and frequency is given by :

v=f\lambda

It can be seen that the relationship between the frequency and wavelength is inverse.

In this problem, it is mentioned that two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. The frequency of wave X is greater than wave Y. Then it would mean that wave X have shorter wavelength than wave Y (due to inverse relation).

List the three types of symbiotic relationships. For each type of symbiotic relationship, explain how the two organisms are affe
Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>
