Answer:
The potential energy can be given as
E = mgh. m is mass, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s, h is the heigh, given as 100.0m
E = m x 9.8 x 100 = (980m)J
E = (980m)/10^9GJ = (0.000000980m)GJ to 3 significant figures
Explanation:
Hydroelectric dams exploit storage of gravitational potential energy. A mass, m, raised a height, h against gravity, g = 9.8 m/s², is given a potential energy E = mgh. The result will be in Joules if the input is expressed in meters, kilograms, and seconds (MKS, or SI units).
Answer:
The atomic number increases by 1.
Explanation:
The beta minus decay is a process in which a neutron decays into a proton, emitting an electron and an anti-neutrino:
If this process occurs inside an unstable nucleus, we notice that:
- a neutron is converted into a proton, therefore
- the number of neutrons decreases by 1 and the number of protons increases by 1
Keep in mind that the atomic number of a nucleus corresponds to the number of protons it contains: therefore, since this number increases by 1, then the atomic number increases by 1.
For some mysterious reason, we can't see the graph.
On a position/time graph, constant velocity is represented by a <em>straight line</em>. Depending on the velocity, the line may be sloping up, sloping down, or horizontal. The only thing the line on the graph <u><em>CAN't</em></u> be is vertical.
