It would be mechanical potential energy.

Potential energy because the moment the dam breaks, a lot of water will burst out. Obviously this isn't chemical energy because there is not chemical reaction taking place. It's not electrical energy because there is no electricity at the dam. This leaves us with potential and kinetic energy. A key word in here is holds back, aka stored water. Storing almost always leads to potential energy.

Sarah, whose mass is 40 kg, is on her way to school after a winter storm when she accidentally slips on a patch of ice whose coe
RideAnS [48]

Sarah's acceleration is -0.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

The force of kinetic friction acting on Sarah has a magnitude which is given by:

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction

m is Sarah's mass

g is the acceleration of gravity

Moreover, according to Newton's second law of motion, we know that the net force on Sarah is equal to its mass times its acceleration:

F=ma

where a is the acceleration

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on Sarah, we can say that the net force is equal to the force of friction, therefore:

F=-\mu mg = ma

where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction has a direction opposite to the motion of Sarah. Solving for a, we find

a=-\mu g

And substituting the following values:

\mu = 0.05 (coefficient of friction)

g=9.81 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

we find:

a=-(0.05)(9.81)=-0.49 m/s^2

A- 1000 m/s2<br> Xi-0m<br> Xf-0.75m<br> Vf-?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s    

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the object, a = 1000 m/s²

The initial displacement of the object, x_{i} = 0 m

The final displacement of the object,  x_{f} = 0.75 m

The initial velocity of the object will be, v_{i} = o m/s

The final velocity of the object, v_{f} = ?

The average velocity of the object,

                                    v = ( x_{f} - x_{i} )/ t

                                      = 0.75 / t

The acceleration is given by the relation

                                     a = v / t

                                   1000 m/s² = 0.75 / t²

                                            t² = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴

                                            t = 0.027 s

Using the I equation of motion,

                                  v_{f} = u + at

Substituting the values

                                   v_{f} = 0 + 1000 x 0.027

                                                           = 27 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of the object is,  v_{f} = 27 m/s

The energy consumed by a home during a month is 90 kWh, how many Joules are we talking about? a good explanation please is for t
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

3.24×10⁸ J, or 324 MJ

Explanation:

"kWh" is a kilowatt-hour.  It's the energy used by 1 kilowatt of power after one hour.

A kilowatt is a kilojoule per second.

90 kWh

= 90 kW × 1 hr

= 90 kJ/s × 1 hr

= 90 kJ/s × 3600 s

= 324,000 kJ

= 324,000,000 J

The energy is 3.24×10⁸ J, or 324 megajoules.
