Potential energy is mass * gravity * height. (m*g*h).

350 = 17*9.8*h   <--350 is its energy, 17kg is its mass, and 9.8 is gravity's acceleration on the object. We now just need to solve for h.

h = 350/(17 * 9.8) =  2.1 meters, which, when rounded to the nearest whole meter, is 2 meters.

The shelf is 2 meters high.

laila [671]
 Mass have no effect for the projectile motion and  u want to know the  height "h"   
first,
        find the vertical and horizontal components of velocity 
 vertical component of velocity = 12 sin 61                  
horizontal component of velocity = 12 cos 61
now for the vertical motion ;               
             S = ut + (1/2) at^2
where
 s = h 
u = initial vertical component of velocity 
t = 0.473 s 
a = gravitational deceleration (-g) = -9.8 m/s^2    
       
         h=[12×sin 610×0.473]+[−9.8×(0.473)2] 

u can simplify this and u will get the answer

h=.5Gt2 

H=1.09m

At what time of year is the intensity of solar radiation striking each of earth's hemispheres weakest?
bagirrra123 [75]
<span>During winter for a given hemisphere, solar radiation reaches the lowest period of its annual cycle due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. As the earth rotates around the sun, this tilt occludes a portion of the energy released by the sun as it diffuses in the atmosphere.</span>

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y
brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

E=mc^{2}

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg
