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

Diffrence between FMRI and MRI?

love history [14]

FMRI creates the images or brain maps of brain functioning by setting up and utilizing an advanced MRI scanner in such a way that increased blood flow to the activated areas of the brain shows up on the MRI scan. The MRI scanners do not actually detect blood flow or other metabolic processes.

An elite tour de france cyclist can maintain an output of 420 watts during a sustained climb. at this output power, how long wou

julia-pushkina [17]

2002 seconds, or 33 minutes, 22 seconds. First, let's calculate how many joules it will take to lift 78 kg against gravity for 1100 meters. So: 78 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1100 m = 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 Now a watt is defined as kg*m^2/s^3, so a division of the required joules should give us a convenient value of seconds. So: 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 / 420 kg*m^2/s^3 = 2002 seconds. And 2002 seconds is the same as 33 minutes, 22 seconds.

Consult interactive solution 2.22 before beginning this problem. a car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of +30.0

Inessa05 [86]

Let $a_1$ be the average acceleration over the first 2.46 seconds, and $a_2$ the average acceleration over the next 6.79 seconds.

At the start, the car has velocity 30.0 m/s, and at the end of the total 9.25 second interval it has velocity 15.2 m/s. Let $v$ be the velocity of the car after the first 2.46 seconds.

By definition of average acceleration, we have

$a_1=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}$

$a_2=\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}$

and we're also told that

$\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=1.66$

(or possibly the other way around; I'll consider that case later). We can solve for $a_1$ in the ratio equation and substitute it into the first average acceleration equation, and in turn we end up with an equation independent of the accelerations:

$1.66a_2=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}$

$\implies1.66\left(\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}\right)=\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}$

Now we can solve for $v$ . We find that

$v=20.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

In the case that the ratio of accelerations is actually

$\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=1.66$

we would instead have

$\dfrac{15.2\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-v}{6.79\,\mathrm s}=1.66\left(\dfrac{v-30.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.46\,\mathrm s}\right)$

in which case we would get a velocity of

$v=24.4\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

what can accurately be said about a resultant wave that displays both reinforcement and interference?

schepotkina [342]

As the frequency of the waves increases, a greater number of wavelengths pass a given point per second. From the wave formula, we see that there is an indirect relationship between frequency and the wavelength. thus, as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases resulting to a smaller distance between the waves which will show greater number of wavelengths between waves.
