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

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

Crest is the part of the wave which does this.

A sound wave is the sample of disturbance resulting from the movement of strength visiting through a medium, including air, water or every other liquid or stable remember as it propagates far from the supply of the sound.

The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. because the supply continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate far from the supply at the rate of sound, hence forming the sound wave.

A sound wave is not a transverse wave with crests and troughs, however alternatively a longitudinal wave with compressions and rarefactions.

A boy is exerting a force of 70 N at a 50-degree angle on a lawn mower. He is accelerating at 1.8 m/s2. Round the answers to the

LenaWriter [7]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 70 N

Angle, $\theta=50^{\circ}$

Acceleration of the boy, a = 1.8 m/s²

(a) Net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{70}{1.8}\\\\m=38.89\ kg$

(2) Normal force = upward force

So,

$F=mg\cos\theta\\\\F=38.89\times 9.81\times \cos(50)\\F=245.23\ N$

Hence, mass is 38.89 kg and the normal force is 245.23 N.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

If a driver is at fault in an accident and is not insured by the Financial Responsibility Law then he or she may be required to pay for the damages caused to the other person's vehicle or property due to the accident before the driver at fault is given the privilege to drive again.
The Financial Responsibility Law is a law that requires drivers to prove that they have enough money saved to pay for the damages that may occur in the case of an accident.
