What is the difference in PE

Physics
1 answer:
Blababa [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

831.4 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass adult: 82.5kg

mass child: 14.7kg

height of wall: 1.25m

g = 9.81m/s^2

PE = mgh

For adult:

mgh = (82.5kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1.25m) = 1011.65 J

For child:

mgh = (14.7kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1.25m) = 180.25 J

Difference in PE: 1011.65 J - 180.25 J = 831.4 J

You drop a 30 g pebble down a well. You hear a splash 2.7 s later. Ignoring air resistance, how deep is the well? Assume g = 9.8
lys-0071 [83]
I will assume here that the well is sufficiently short so that the time the sound takes to come from the bottom of the well to our ear is negligible.

Since the pebble moves by uniformly accelerated motion, the distance it covers is given by
S= \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where 
g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration
t=2.7 s is the time the pebble takes to reach the bottom of the well

Therefore, the depth of the well is
S= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2 = 35.7 m \sim 36 m
and the correct answer is B.

Number of protons and electrons and atomic mass for a given element
faltersainse [42]

Explanation:

You can simply subtract the atomic number from the mass number in order to find the number of neutrons. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons.

Remember!

1. Your mass number is the total number of neutrons and protons within the atom.

2. Your atomic number is the amount of protons within the atom.

3. For neutral atoms, the electron number is the same as the atomic number.
