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)

It is known that heat is added to a gas in sealed container. The container is fitted with a moveable piston.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

d. Not enough information is given to answer this question.

Explanation:

From first law of thermodynamics

Q= W + ΔU

Q=Heat  ,W= Work , ΔU=Change in internal energy

If work done by the gas :

It means that W and Q both are positive

Q- W = ΔU

Ii Q > W ,then temperature of the gas will increase.

If  Q< W  ,Then temperature of the gas will decreases.

If work done on the gas:

Q positive but W will be negative

Q- W = ΔU

Q= W or Q>W  or Q< W ,then temperature of the gas will increase.

There are three cases because they did not give any information about the work.That is why option d is correct.

Desde el punto A sale un vehículo a 80 km/h al mismo tiempo sale un ciclista a 20km/h ¿a qué distancia se encuentra uno del otro
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Distance between them after 5 hours is 300 km.

Explanation:

From point A a vehicle leaves at 80 km / h at the same time a cyclist leaves at 20 km / h at what distance is they from each other after 5 hours.

Distance traveled by A in 5 hours = speed x time = 80 x 5 = 400 km

Distance traveled by B in 5 hours = speed x time = 20 x 5 = 100 km

The distance between them after 5 hours =  400 - 100 = 300 km

Answer:

I Think its ABC

Explanation:

No air is the lightest

Helium is lighter than regular air that's why it goes up so then the regular air would be heaviest.

Q 19.23: A proton is initially moving at 3.0 x 105 m/s. It moves 3.5 m in the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of proton, v_p_i = 3 x 10⁵ m/s

distance moved by the proton, d = 3.5 m

electric field strength, E = 120 N/C

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is calculated as follows.

Consider work-energy theorem;

W = ΔK.E

W =K.E_f - K.E_i

where;

K.Ef is the final kinetic energy

W is work done in moving the proton = F x d  = (EQ) x d = EQd

K.E_f =EQd + \frac{1}{2}m_pv_p_i^2

m_p \ is \ mass \ of \ proton = 1.673 \ \times \ 10^{-27} kg \\\\Q \ is \ charge \ of \ proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

K.E_f = 120\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 3.5   \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(1.673\times 10^{-27})(3\times 10^5)^2 \\\\

K.E_f = 6.72\times 10^{-17} \ + \ 7.53 \times 10^{-17} \\\\K.E_f = 14.25 \times 10^{-17} J\\\\K.E_f = 1.425\times 10^{-16} \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.
