Answer:

B.because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy

Explanation:

You can calculate the speed as it hits the ground because gravitational potential energy can convert to kinetic energy.

In this way, total energy can be conserved.

  • We can equate the kinetic energy and potential energy.
  • From this we can solve for the velocity.
  • This way, we know that the potential energy is changing to kinetic energy.

Which of the following quantities can be measured in the same units as Work?
arlik [135]

Answer:

Kinetic energy and potential energy.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v^2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared. Kinetic energy is usually measured in units of Joules (J); one Joule is equal to 1 kg m^2 / s^2.

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force, the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters. Notice that gravitational potential energy has the same units as kinetic energy, kg m^2/s^2. In fact, all energy has the same units, kg m^2/s^2, and is measured using the unit Joule (J).

Work is also measured with the unit Joule (J).

Find the height or length of these natural wonders in km, m, and cm.A. A cave system with a mapped length of 354 miles.B. A wate
cricket20 [7]

Explanation:

Some standard unit conversion are 1 mile = 1.609344 km, 1 ft.= 30.48 cm,

1 km= 1000 m or 1 m = 0.001 km and 1 m= 100 cm or 1 cm=0.01 m.

Now, use these values to convert the given lengths.

A. length of cave = 5 miles (given)

From standard value 1 mile = 1.609344 km

\Rightarrow 5 miles = \times 1.609344 km= 8.04672 km,

\Rightarrow 5 miles =8.04672 \times 1000 m= 8046.72 m [ as 1 km = 1000 m]

\Rightarrow 5 miles = 8046.72 \times 100 cm=804672 cm

B. Height of the waterfall = 1235 ft. (given)

1 ft.= 30.48 cm [ from standard value]

\Rightarrow 1235.2 ft.= 1235.2\times 30.48 cm=37648.896 cm,

\Rightarrow 1235.2 ft.=37648.896 \times 0.01 m =376.48896 m [ as 1 cm = 0.01 m]

\Rightarrow 1235.2 ft.=376.48896 \times 0.001 km =0.37648896 km [ as 1 m = 0.001 km]

C. Height of the mountain= 21320 ft. (given)

From standard value: 1 ft.= 30.48 cm

\Rightarrow 21320 ft.= 21320 \times 30.48 cm=649833.6 cm,

\Rightarrow 21320 ft.=649833.6 \times 0.01 m =6498.336 m [ as 1 cm = 0.01 m]

\Rightarrow 21320 ft.=6498.336 \times 0.001 km =6.498336 km [ as 1 m = 0.001 km].

D. Depth of canyon =6630 ft.

From standard value: 1 ft.= 30.48 cm

\Rightarrow 6630 ft.= 6630 \times 30.48 cm=202082.4 cm,

\Rightarrow 6630 ft.=202082.4  \times 0.01 m =2020.824  m [ as 1 cm = 0.01 m]

\Rightarrow 6630 ft.=2020.824  \times 0.001 km =2.020824  km [ as 1 m = 0.001 km].

A scientist who studies teenage behavior was interested in determining if teenagers spend more time playing computer games then
natita [175]

Answer:

greater than 0.10

Explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H_{0} = 10.2

The alternate hypotesis is:

H_{1} > 10.2

Our test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the statistic, \mu is the mean, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

We have that:

t = 0.45

We are testing if X is greater than 0.45, so our pvalue is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = t = 0.45.

z = 0.45 has a pvalue of 0.6736

1 - 0.6735 = 0.3264

So our pvalue is 0.3264, which is greater than 0.10.

So the correct answer is:

greater than 0.10

<h3>I do think parallel universes exist. There are now some scientific theories that support the idea of parallel universes beyond our own. However, the multiverse theory remains one of the most controversial theories in science.Our universe is unimaginably big. Hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of galaxies(opens in new tab) spin through space, each containing billions or trillions of stars(opens in new tab). Some researchers studying models of the universe speculate that the universe's diameter could be 7 billion light-years(opens in new tab) across. Others think it could be infinite.
