Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1376 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 8 × 10 × 17.2

We have the final answer as

<h3>1376 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

Assume that at sea-level the air pressure is 1.0 atm and the air density is 1.3 kg/m3.
scoundrel [369]

Answer

Pressure, P = 1 atm

air density, ρ = 1.3 kg/m³

a) height of the atmosphere when the density is constant

   Pressure at sea level = 1 atm = 101300 Pa

   we know

   P = ρ g h

   h = \dfrac{P}{\rho\ g}

   h = \dfrac{101300}{1.3\times 9.8}

          h = 7951.33 m

height of the atmosphere will be equal to 7951.33 m

b) when air density decreased linearly to zero.

  at x = 0  air density = 0

  at x= h   ρ_l = ρ_sl

 assuming density is zero at x - distance

 \rho_x = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x

now, Pressure at depth x

dP = \rho_x g dx

dP = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x g dx

integrating both side

P = g\dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times \int_0^h x dx

P =\dfrac{\rho_{sl}\times g h}{2}

 now,

h=\dfrac{2P}{\rho_{sl}\times g}

h=\dfrac{2\times 101300}{1.3\times 9.8}

  h = 15902.67 m

height of the atmosphere is equal to 15902.67 m.

Name one similarity and one difference between a set and a bump in volleyball??
kotykmax [81]
Bump: Bumping the ball means a player uses their forearms to pass the ball to a teammate or to hit the ball back over the net to the other team. Set: Setting the ball means a player positions the ball in a way that lets a teammate spike it over the net.
