As an object falls from rest, its gravitational energy is converted to kinetic energy
G.P.E = K.E = mgh
K.E = (80 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(30 m)
K.E. = 23,520 J
(A) power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts
(B) energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules
Explanation:
energy consumed per day = 5 kWh
(a) find the power consumed in a day
1 day = 24 hours
power = \frac{energy}{time}
power = \frac{5}{24}
power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts
(b) find the energy consumed in a year
assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days
1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds
energy = power x time
energy = 208 x 31,536,000
energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules
Hello Paige,
Question - Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition Fossils up to 75,000 years old can be dated with ______.
Answer - Carbon 14
Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE = mgh
Where m is your mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and h is the height in m.
The only value that be controlled here is the height h. The mass is constant, and acceleration due to gravity at that place is constant.
But h can be varied.
Hence to increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and Earth is to increase the height h.
This can be done by climbing up a table, or climbing up a building through the stairs, or by using a lift.
At the same speed as the other ice cube
