Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
The optimal conditions for high biodiversity seem to be a <u>warm temperature</u> and <u>wet climates</u>.
<em>The tropical areas of the world have the highest biodiversity and are characterized by an average annual temperature of above 18 </em>
<em> and annual precipitation of 262 cm. The areas are referred to as the world's biodiversity hotspots. </em>
Consequently, it follows logically that the optimal conditions for high biodiversity would be a warm temperature of above 18
and wet environment with annual precipitation of not less than 262 cm.
The variation in temperature and precipitation across biomes can thus be said to be responsible for the variation in the level of biodiversity in them.
Answer:
n = 5 approx
Explanation:
If v be the velocity before the contact with the ground and v₁ be the velocity of bouncing back
= e ( coefficient of restitution ) = 
and

h₁ is height up-to which the ball bounces back after first bounce.
From the two equations we can write that


So on

= .00396
Taking log on both sides
- n / 2 = log .00396
n / 2 = 2.4
n = 5 approx
