<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of pole voulter is 2160\ J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the pole vaulter, m = 54 kg

Height it rises, h = 4 m

To find,

The gravitational potential energy.

Solution,

We know , gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m and height h is given by m\times g\times h.Here g is acceleration due to gravity=10 m/s^2.

E=m\times g\times h\\=54\times 10 \times 4\ J=2160\ J.

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of pole voulter is 2160\ J.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A satellite orbits at a distance from the Earth's center of about 2.60 Earth radii and takes 5.89 hours to go around once. What
Elenna [48]

Answer:

424088766.068 m

Explanation:

Radius of the circular orbit that the satellite is 2.6 Earth radii (r) = 2.6 R

R = Radius of earth = 6371000 m (mean radius)

In order to find the distance that the satellite travels in 5.89 hours to complete one complete revolution is the circumference of the circular orbit

Circumference of a circle = 2×π×r

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6 R

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6×6371000

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 104078451.3393m

Distance travelled in 1 hour = 104078451.3393/5.89 = 17670365.252 m

∴ Distance travelled in 24 hours = 17670365.252×24 = 424088766.068 m

In what ways would organisms living in very deep water need to be specialized?
Nady [450]

Organisms living in great depths of water bodies like oceans and lakes need to be adapted for two (2) things especially; high water pressure and vision in darkness

The water column above from deep in the water can cause lots of hydrostatic pressure on the organisms’ cells. Also the fact that light cannot penetrate to great depth of water due to diffusion means the organisms must live in darkness.

Explanation:

It has been shown that cells from Piezophile bacteria have a high percentage of fatty acids in their membranes to prevent the cells from compacting solid from the high pressure.

Most of the organisms are also detritivores and use chemosynthesis for the autotrophs because light cannot reach these depths and hence photosynthesis is not possible.  Organisms with eye vision are adapted to high wavelength light that can at least reach greater depths before diffusing. Nonetheless natural selection would favour use of sight for most organisms in this benthic region.

. A 40.0-kg child standing on a frozen pond throws a 0.500-kg stone to the east with a speed of 5.00 m/s. Neglecting friction be
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

A 40kg child throw stone of 0.5kg

At a direction of 5m/s

Recoil can be calculated using recoil of a gun formula

m_1•v_1 + m_2•v_2

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

The negative sign show that the momentum of the boy is directed oppositely to that of the stone

m_1 Is mass of boy

v_1 is the recoil velocity of the boy

m_2 is mass of stone

v_2 is the velocity of stone

Then,

m_1•v_1 = -m_2•v_2

40•v_1 = -0.5 × 5

40•v_1 = -2.5

v_1 = -2.5 / 40

v_1 = -0.0625 m/s

The recoil velocity of the boy is 0.0625 m/s

1. Predict whether the energy required to remove an electron from magnesium and potassium would be more or less than that requir
Inga [223]

In both cases less energy is required

But comparetively Mg require more energy than K

Let's see the electron configuration of Both

  • [Mg]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²=[Ne]3s²
  • [K]=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹=[Ar]4s¹

K has only one valence electron so very less ionization enthalpy so less energy required

Mg has 2 so more IE hence more energy required

Find the velociity of a car which travels 35 m to the right over a period of 40 seconds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

the velocity of the car is 0.875 m/s

Explanation:

v = d \div t \\ v = 35m \div 40sec = 0.875 \: m \: per \: sec

therefore the V of car is 0.875 m
