Answer:

<em>199,430Joules</em>

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a falling object due to virtue of its position.

gravitational potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height

gravitational potential energy = 55 * 9.8 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 539 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 199,430

<em>Hence the total change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199,430Joules</em>

ANSWER:

99,430 Joules (in multiple choice question sometimes appear as 200,000J)

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by a falling object due to virtue of its position.

gravitational potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height

gravitational potential energy = 55 * 9.8 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 539 * 370

gravitational potential energy = 199,430

Hence the total change in the skier's gravitational potential energy is 199,430 Joules (or 200,00J)

A car moves with a speed of 72 km/h for 15 minutes and then with a speed of 80 km/h for the next 12 minutes. The total distance
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The total distance covered by the car is 3,810.08 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the car, u = 72 km/hr = 20 m/s

initial time, t₁ = 15 minutes = 900 s

final speed of the car, v = 80 km/hr = 22.22 m/s

final time, t₂ = 12 minutes = 720 s

The acceleration of the car is given as;

a = \frac{v-u}{t_2 -t_1} \\\\a = \frac{22.22-20}{900-720}\\\\a = 0.0123 \ m/s^2

The total distance covered by the car is given as;

v² = u² + 2as

where;

s is the total distance covered by the car

22.22² = 20² + 2(0.0123)s

22.22²  - 20² = 2(0.0123)s

93.728 = 0.0246s

s = 93.728 / 0.0246

s = 3,810.08 m

Therefore, the total distance covered by the car is 3,810.08 m

If 28.0 J of work is done by an external force to move a charge from a potential of 8.0 V 8.0 V to a potential of 4.0 V , 4.0 V,
jonny [76]

Answer:

Change in electric potential energy is -28.0 J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is defined as the work is done to move a charge particle from one position to another in space in the presence of other charge particle or electric potential.

                                               OR

Electric potential energy is also equal to the change in the configuration of the charge particles.

Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = - Work Done

According to the problem, Work Done is equal to 28 J. Thus,

Change in electric potential energy = -28 J

When there's a hazard ahead, it's almost always quicker for you to _________ than to come to a full stop.
TEA [102]

When there's a hazard ahead, it's almost always quicker for you to steer away than to come to a full stop.

<h3>What is an hazard?</h3>

Hazard refers to any obstacle or other feature which causes risk or danger.

Living organisms respond to hazards via the production of adrenaline hormone. This hormone causes a flight response away from the hazard.

Therefore, when there's a hazard ahead, it's almost always quicker for you to steer away than to come to a full stop.
