Answer:

GPE = 388.08 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.550kg

Speed = 335 m/s

Height = 72 meters

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s²

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

G.P.E = 0.550 * 9.8 * 72

GPE = 388.08 Joules.

Lunna [17]
Power is calculated as work per unit time, and work in turn is calculated as force multiplied by distance. In this case, the force required is equivalent to the weight of the barbell multiplied by acceleration due to gravity.
P = W/t = Fd/t = mgd/t = (200 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(2 m)/2.2 s = 1783.64 Watts.

What is moment? Write down the law of moment.A long spanner is used to unscrew the tight nut.Why?​
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Moment is the product of force and its perpendicular distance from a point along its line of action.

The net moments on clockwise and anticlockwise is zero at a point.

The net force applied on a spanner handle is equal to the moment of the rotation

How would life on earth be different if earth’s axis were not tilted with respect to its orbit?
Vladimir [108]

If Earth's axis was "straight up and down" instead of tilted, then ...

<span>-- There would be no seasons.

-- The climate at any one place would be the same all year around. 

-- The days would be the same length, everywhere,
    and all year around.

-- So would the nights.

-- The sun would be up a little more than 12 hours every day.
    It would be down a little less than 12 hours every day.

-- At the middle of the day, the sun would be at the same height
   in the sky all year around, not higher in some months and lower
   in others.

-- The equator would be the only place on Earth where the sun
    could ever be directly over your head.

-- If you were at the north pole or the south pole, the sun would be
   down on the horizon, and it would just go around and around you
   every day.  It would never rise or set, and it would never get any
   higher or lower.

Nady [450]
:<span>  </span><span>Under the assumption that a cell is made up of two concentric spheres you find the surface are of the inside sphere which will be your A. 

You already have your separation and dielectric constant so just use the formula you stated towards the end of your question and you get 8.93x10^-11 Farads which is about 89pF</span>
