Answer:

Workdone = 147Nm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Height = 3m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s²

First of all, we would find the force applied;

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 5*9.8

Force = 49N

Now, to find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 49 * 3

Workdone = 147Nm

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The height is 3.1m

Explanation:

Here we have a conservation of energy problem, we have a conversion form eslastic potencial  energy to gravitational potencial energy, so:

E_e=\frac{1}{2}K*x^2\\E_e=\frac{1}{2}18N/m*(9.5*10^{-2}m)^2\\E_e=0.081J

then we have only gravitational potencial energy when the ball is at its maximun height.

E_g=m*g*h

because all the energy was transformed Eg=Ee

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*m}

searching the web, the mass of a ping pong ball is 2.7 gr in average. so:

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*(2.7*10^{-3}kg)}\\h=3.1m

alexdok [17]

Answer:

A tornado can, surprisingly, cause a supercell, so the answer would be C.) tornado

Explanation:

When cold, dry, and polar air meet warm, moist tropical air, the atmosphere becomes unstable causing a supercell.

Final Answer:

C.) tornado

What is convectional current?​.... .
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another along with the motion of the object's particles. Water is a poor conductor. However, when the bottom water is heated, it turns out that the top water is also hot. This means that there is another way of transferring heat to the water, namely convection.
