Answer:

The heat produced is 1568 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the person, m = 80 kg

The height from which the person falls, h = 2 m

Mechanical Energy, ME = Potential Energy, PE + Kinetic Energy, KE

At the height, from where the person falls, the initial velocity of the person = 0 m/s

Therefore;

The initial kinetic energy, K.E. = 1/2·m·v² = 1/2 × 80 kg × (0 m/s)² = 0 J

From which we have;

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E. + 0 J

∴ The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E.

The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the person

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = 80 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2 m = 1568 J

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = 1568 J

The whole mechanical energy is converted into heat energy, therefore, we have;

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The heat energy = 1568 J

The heat produced = The heat energy = 1568 J.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

answer is 10km

Explanation:

use "S =Ut "

S=distance U=velocity t =time

no need to convert time into seconds as the velocity has given in meters per minute

A student is creating a table with properties of electromagnetic and mechanical waves.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The property of the wave marked X is related to the source of the wave

Explanation:

The source of of origin of waves

Electromagnetic wave are waves that consists of varying electric and magnetic field that vibrate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation of the wave and they are therefore transverse waves and transfer energy

Electromagnetic waves originate from the vibration of charged particles that gives off varying electric and magnetic fields

Mechanical waves are defined as waves that require a material medium such as air, water, metal, plastic, stretched leather, or wood to propagate

Mechanical waves originate from vibration of the particles of a medium

Sound waves which is a form of longitudinal mechanical waves that propagates by the vibration of the particles of a given medium about a point parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.
