Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are basically
two main types of energy, kinetic and potential. Potential energy is
energy that is stored. There are various types of stored, or potential
energy. Chemical energy from a battery is a potential form of energy,
elastic energy in a stretched rubber band is a form of potential energy,
but the most commonly referred to form of potential energy in physics
is that of gravitational potential energy. This is energy that is
stored due to an object's position. It is dependent on the mass of the
object, the height of the object above the ground or Earth, and the acceleration due to gravity.
Answer:
The Hydrostatic force is 
The location of pressure center is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height of the gate is 
The weight of the gate is 
The height of the water is 
The density of water is 
Note used 
for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value
The area of the gate immersed in water is mathematically represented as
substituting values
The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as
Where
So
The center of pressure is mathematically represented as
Where 
is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as
The is the height of gate immersed in water
Thus
Answer:True
Explanation: The mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy because the perturbation travels inside of the medium so it needs molecules that connect elastically the displacement of the wave. For example the sound mainly uses the air molecules to transport the energy also the sound can be traveled in solid materials like metal rods.
D is the best answer. In many physics problems we treat an extended object as if it were a point with the same mass located at the center of mass.
