Answer:

h = 157.70 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5.5 kg

Gravitational potential energy = 8500 Joules

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

To find the height of the object;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

8500 = 5.5*9.8*h

8500 = 53.9h

h = 8500/53.9

h = 157.70 m

On both the spring and fall equinoxes, the sun's rays are vertically overhead at the _______
Anni [7]

It is overhead at the equator, it is because the sun ray’s will be moving vertically as this will be directed at the equator. It is because if it moves vertically, it will hit or overhead the equator and this usually happens in spring and fall.

The average power dissipated in a 47 ω resistor is 2.0 w. what is the peak value i 0 of the ac current in the resistor?
pishuonlain [190]
The average dissipated power in a resistor in a ac circuit is:
P=I_{rms}^2 R
where R is the resistance, and I_{rms} is the root mean square current, defined as
I_{rms} =  \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}
where I_0 is the peak value of the current. Substituting the second formula into the first one, we find
P=( \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2} } )^2 R =  \frac{1}{2} I_0^2 R
and if we re-arrange this formula and use the data of the problem, we can find the value of the peak current I0:
I_0 =  \sqrt{ \frac{2 P}{R} }=  \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.0 W}{47 \Omega} }=0.29 A
