Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Which tells us that the energy of a body will always be the same regardless of where it is located. For this case we have two points, point A and point B. Point A is located at the top at 120 [m] and point B is in the middle of the cliff at 60 [m].

E_{A}=E_{B}

The important thing about this problem is to identify the types of energy at each point. Let's take the reference level of potential energy at a height of zero meters. That is, at this point the potential energy is zero.

So at point A we have potential energy and since a velocity of 18 [m/s] is printed, we additionally have kinetic energy.

E_{A}=E_{pot}+E_{kin}\\E_{A}=m*g*h+\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

At Point B the rock is still moving downward, therefore we have kinetic energy and since it is 60 [m] with respect to the reference level we have potential energy.

E_{B}=m*g*h+\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Therefore we will have the following equation:

(6.5*9.81*120)+(0.5*6.5*18^{2} )=(6.5*9.81*60)+(0.5*6.5*v_{B}^{2} )\\3.25*v_{B}^{2} =4878.9\\v_{B}=\sqrt{1501.2}\\v_{B}=38.75[m/s]

The kinetic energy can be easily calculated by means of the kinetic energy equation.

KE_{B}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v_{B}^{2}\\KE_{B}=0.5*6.5*(38.75)^{2}\\KE_{B}=4878.9[J]

In order to calculate the velocity at the bottom of the cliff where the reference level of potential energy (potential energy equal to zero) is located, we must pose the same equation, with the exception that at the new point there is only kinetic energy.

E_{A}=E_{C}\\6.5*9.81*120+(0.5*9.81*18^{2} )=0.5*6.5*v_{C}^{2} \\v_{c}^{2} =\sqrt{2843.39}\\v_{c}=53.32[m/s]

Write short notes on:<br>human made wetland​
kogti [31]

Any type of wetland that has been developed or maintained by humans for uses such as aquaculture, irrigation, or water storage.

<h3>What is a human-made wetland​ ?</h3>

Any kind of wetland that has been created or kept up by people for purposes like water storage, irrigation, or aquaculture.

In India's Punjab state, in the Kapurthala district, lies the man-made Kanji Wetland, which includes the Kanji Lake.

In order to give irrigation facilities to the hinterland, it was built by building the headworks over the perennial Bien River, a tributary of the Beas River.

The Sunderbans are India's biggest wetland. The world's biggest mangrove forest includes Sunderban Wetland.

Hence, the human-made wetland​ is an artificial wetland.

A heat engine exhausts 3 000 J of heat while performing 1 500 J of useful work. What is the efficiency of the engine
amid [387]

efficiency=work output/work input×100

since it exhausts(use up)3000j of heat that's the work input and the 1500j is the work input

efficiency=1500/3000×100

=50%
