Hello!

Use the formula:

M = k * p

Data:

M = Mechanic energy

k = Kinetic energy

p = Potencial energy

Descomposing:

M = (0,5*mv²) + (mgh)

Replacing:

M = (0,5 * 59,6 kg * (23,4 m/s)²) + (59,6 kg * 9,81 m/s² * 44,6 m)

M = 16317,28 J + 26076,54 J

M = 42393,82 J

The mechanic energy is <u>42393,82 Joules.</u>

Which statement best describes air pressure at high altitudes? (Points : 3)
WARRIOR [948]
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. this is because air pressure is caused by the gravity of earth, the gravity pulls on the air, compacting it and making a pressure.
But as we go higher, gravity decreases, causing less pull on the air resulting in less air pressure.<span />

The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mm hg to 850.0 mm hg as the volume of its container is increased by moving a piston
Kamila [148]
From gas laws:
\frac{PV}{T} = Constant

Therefore,
\frac{ P_{1}  V_{1} }{ T_{1} } =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2} }{ T_{2} }

P1 = 1200 mm
V1 = 85 ml
T1 = 90°C = 363.15 K
P2 = 850 mm
V2 = 350 ml
T2 = ?

Substituting;
T_{2} =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2}  T_{1} }{ P^{1}  V^{1} } =  \frac{850*350*363.15}{1200*85} = 1059.19 K = 786.04 °C
