Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:

U = M*H*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then:

"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"

M = 8kg

H = 2.2m

U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J

"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"

M = 6kg

H = 3.2m

U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J

You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.

In Speed Study Number 1, we looked at two cars traveling the same distance at different speeds on city streets. Car "A" traveled
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

230.4 s

Explanation:

The speed of car A is

v_A = 35 mi/h

and the distance travelled is

d = 10 mi

so the time taken for car A is

t_A = \frac{d}{v_A}=\frac{10 mi}{35 mi/h}=0.286 h

The speed of car B is

v_B = 45 mi/h

and the distance travelled is

d = 10 mi

so the time taken for car B is

t_B = \frac{d}{v_B}=\frac{10 mi}{45 mi/h}=0.222 h

So the difference in time is

\Delta t = t_A - t_B = 0.286 h -0.222 h=0.064 h

Which corresponds to

\Delta t = 0.064 h \cdot 3600 s/h = 230.4 s

so car B arrived 230.4 s before car A.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.

The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.

Does anyone know how to do this?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Explanation:

By Hooke's Law,

F=kx

The only force acting here is weight, and x is the extension of the string (you need to convert this to mm) so

mg=kx

(0.15)(9.81)=k ((420-300)x10^-3)

Then just solve this equation.
