Given that the velocity of a car increases by 40 m/s in 80 seconds, the acceleration of the car will be given by:
a=(final velocity-initial velocity)/(time)
thus;
final velocity=40 m/s
initial velocity=0
time=80 seconds
hence;
a=(40-0)/80
=0.5m/s^2
Answer:
the rocks are away from cracks in the crust
Explanation:
The new crust is pushed away from the Ocean Ridge in both directions as newer crust is formed. This is called sea floor spreading. The crust that makes up the sea floor starts to have time to accumulate a layer of sediments as it gets older and moves away from the Ocean Ridge.
The following answers apply;
- Changes in magnetic properties of rock
- Decrease in well water levels
- Increases in radon gas in groundwater
- Foreshocks
These other choices may be good indicators of an imminent volcanic eruption;
Movement of magma
Increase in sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide ground emissions
Answer:
Answer in Explanation
Explanation:
Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>
The derivation of this formula is as follows:
Work = Force * Displacement
For gravitational potential energy:
Work = P.E
Force = Weight = mg
Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h
Therefore,
P.E = mgh
