What is the gravitational potential energy of a 65.7 kg person standing on the roof of a 135 meter building?

1 answer:

8 0

For the purpose we will use the following equation for potential energy:
U = m * g * h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
U= 65.7kg * 9.8 N/kg *135m = 86921.1 J = 86.92 kJ

How does amplitude determine loudness?

sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder.

There is strong evidence that Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, has a liquid ocean beneath its icy surface. Many scientists think

dangina [55]

Answer:

4.44 rpm

Explanation:

$\omega$ = Angular speed

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Europa = $\frac{3138000}{2}\ m$

R = Radius of arm = 6 m

The acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 4.8\times 10^{22}}{\left(\frac{3138000}{2}\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=1.3\ m/s^2$

Here the centripetal acceleration of the arm and acceleration due to gravity are equal

$a_c=\omega^2R$

$a_c=g\\\Rightarrow \omega^2R=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega^2\times 6=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{1.3}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.46547\ rad/s$

Converting to rpm

$1\ rad/s=\frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm$

$0.46547\ rad/s=0.46547\times \frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm=4.44\ rpm$

The angular speed of the arm is 4.44 rpm

In what setting do all frequencies of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed?

Irina-Kira [14]

All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum (space) at the speed of light (3 * 10^8 m/s). Radio waves is just a member of the electromagnetic spectrum. All electromagnetic waves follow the wave equation: speed = frequency * wavelength. With all electromagnetic waves, the speed in space is the same.

According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail

Darya [45]

According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>
