Hi there!
Question - Which of the following statements is true?
Answer - C. You are exposed to nuclear radiation every day.
Why - "radiation in the form of elementary particles emitted by an atomic nucleus, as alpha rays or gamma rays, produced by decay of radioactive substances or by nuclear fission."
Answer: 4.9 x 10^6 joules
Explanation:
Given that:
mass of boulder (m) = 2,500 kg
Height of ledge above canyon floor (h) = 200 m
Gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder (GPE) = ?
Since potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest, and it depends on the mass of the object (m), gravitational acceleration (g), and height (h).
GPE = mgh
GPE = 2500kg x 9.8m/s2 x 200m
GPE = 4900000J
Place result in standard form
GPE = 4.9 x 10^6J
Thus, the gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder-Earth system relative to the canyon floor is 4.9 x 10^6 joules
Answer:
average speed is 60km/h
Explanation:
you sum up the speed attained in each distance covered and divide it by 2 to get your answer
Answer:
B. 24.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg
height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m
The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster due to its height is given by;
Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.
