Answer:

<em>U = 66,150 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8\ m/s^2.

The child of mass m=45 Kg is perched above a h=150 m ravine. His gravitational potential energy is:

U=45~Kg\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2\cdot 150\ m

U = 66,150 J

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

2. Do you think the density of the ice affected the melting rate of the ice, or do you think adding the objects affected the mel
Setler [38]

The density of ice does not affect its melting rate. Adding objects will affect the melting rate.

  • A physical process called melting or fusing causes a substance to change its phase from a solid to a liquid. This happens when the solid's internal energy rises, usually as a result of heat or pressure being applied, which raises the substance's temperature to the melting point.
  • The term "density" refers to an extensive quality, which means that it is independent of the substance's concentration. Every substance in the world demonstrates its distinctive density. Since it does not fluctuate, it would not affect the rate of melting. The addition of the objects could speed up the process, though, as each one generates heat that could act as the mediating force for the melting process.
