A 2.35-kg rock is released from rest at a height of 21.4 m. Ignore air resistance and determine (a) the kinetic energy at 21.4 m

, (b) the gravitational potential energy at 21.4 m, (c) the total mechanical energy at 21.4 m, (d) the kinetic energy at 0 m, (e) the gravitational potential energy at 0 m, and (f) the total mechanical energy at 0 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg

It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.

(a) The kinetic energy is given by : E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.

(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : E_p=mgh

It can be calculated as :

E_p=2.35\times 9.8\times 21.4\\\\E_p=492.84\ J

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

M = 0 J + 492.84 J

M = 492.84 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

Electrons are added into the outermost what in groups 1 &amp; 2
aivan3 [116]

S orbital.

Group 1 elements have a general configuration ns^{1}, where n represents the highest occupied Principal Energy Level. For example, Lithium has the valence configuration 2s^{1} whereas Cesium has 6s^{1}. Both of them belong to Group 1 of Periodic Table.

Group 2 elements have a general configuration of ns^{2}. For example, Magnesium has 3s^{2} as its outer shell configuration while Strontium has the same as 5s^{2}.

We see that in both the cases, the outermost S orbital is being filled.

Using at least 3 to 4 complete content related sentences describe the first and second postulate of special relativity.
Andrew [12]
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. As such, perceptions of objects and time change as they approach light speed, but the laws of physics remain consistent regardless of speed. Objects will appear shortened and time will appear to slow down around an observer approaching near light speeds, but all quantities still exist as they did before and all causality is preserved, even if observers in different points or traveling at different speeds will report different things.
