The potential energy of the rock is 30,000 J

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of its gravitational potential energy (PE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E=PE+KE

where

PE is the gravitational potential energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the gravitational field

KE is the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion

In this problem, the rock is at rest, so its kinetic energy is zero:

KE = 0

Therefore, the energy of the rock is just equal to its potential energy, which is:

E=PE=mgh

where

m = 10.2 kg is the mass of the rock

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 300 m is the height of the rock above the ground

Substituting and solving, we find

PE=(10.2)(9.8)(300)=30,000 J

The velocity of blood flow is ________. A) in direct proportion to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels B) slower
Leto [7]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The velocity at which blood flows in the blood vessels is inversely proportional to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels present in the body. This means that if the cross sectional area of the vessels low, then there will be high rate of blood flow, and vice versa. This blood flow is minimum in the case of capillaries, where it gets enough time for the exchanging of essential nutrients as well as gases.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
