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)

What kind of front occurs when a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass?
Andreyy89

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

When a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, a front is formed and if the cold air is replacing the warm air, it is known as a cold front. Cold fronts frequently cause thunderstorms or rain showers because they pressure the air in a steep upward direction at the front's edge. They are also responsible to bring the changes in atmospheric pressure and wind direction.

A spacecraft with a proper length of 250 m passes by an observer on the earth. according to this observer, it takes 0.770 µs for
Sophie [7]
If 1 second = 10000 μs
what about how many seconds = 0.77 μs
the calculations would be done lke this 
          0.77 x 1/1000000 = 7.7 x 10 ^ -7
Speed = distance / time
distance = length of the spacecraft
therefore speed = 250/7.7 x 10^ -7
ans = 324675324.7 m/s

Which statement best describes the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?
choli [55]
 <span>When temperature increases, particles in an object speed up, which means an increase in thermal energy. Since the particles are moving more now, the potential energy decreases, therefore kinetic energy increases. 

Overall, when temp goes up, thermal energy goes up, which leads to an increase in kinetic energy.</span>

Which of the following is NOT an exercise myth?
galben [10]
I believe it would be A, (B) just because a women trains doesn't mean she'll bulk, the may become thinner, or more tone.
