Answer:

392 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The total mass of the cabin and the passengers = 800 kg

The vertical distance between B and C is 50 m.

We need to find the increase of gravitational potential energy of the cabin and passengers when they move from B to C. It can be given by the relation as follows :

$E=mgh\\\\E=800\times 9.8\times 50\\\\E=392000\ J\\\\\text{or}\\\\E=392\ kJ$

So, the increase in gravitational potential energy is 392 kJ.

If a football player collides with a goal post, what forces are at work?

AlekseyPX

When a footballer collides with the goal post, the forces at work are the action and reaction forces. The player will exert an action force on the goal post, and then a reaction force from the goal post will stop the player. The reaction force call will cause pain and even injury to the player.

The length of the mercury thread is found to be 4cm and 24cm at ice point and steam point respectively on an ungraduated thermom

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5 since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100 deg C = 20 deg C the requested temperature
