Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of that rock is 174371.4 J.

Explanation:

Given

  • Mass m = 59.31 kg
  • Height h = 300 m

To determine

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the rock

We know that the potential energy of a body is termed as the stored energy due to its position.

One kind of energy comes from Earth's gravity — Gravitational potential energy (GPE).

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) can be determined using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

  • m is the mass
  • g is the gravitational acceleration which is equal to g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h is the height
  • GPE is the Gravitational potential energy

now substituting m = 59.31, h = 300 and g = 9.8

GPE = mgh

         =59.31\times 9.8\times 300

         =174371.4 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of that rock is 174371.4 J.

Jason places his economics book (3 kg) on a level table. He then puts his calculus book (5 kg) on top of the economics book, the
lilavasa [31]

Nothing is accelerating ... it's not even moving. Everything is just sitting there. 
That right there tells you that the forces are balanced wherever two things meet,
otherwise something would be accelerating.

At each level where two things meet, there are 2 forces:

-- The gravitational force ... the weight of everything above that place,
and
-- The upward force, exerted by everything below that place. 

Here is the stack:
_____________
| Physics ... 2kg |      weight = M G = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6 newtons
---------------------
|Calculus ..5 kg |      weight = M G = 5 x 9.8 = 49 newtons
---------------------
|Econ . . . .3 Kg |      weight = M G = 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 newtons
==================
-------- (Table) ----------
/                                  \

a).  Surface where the table meets the Economics book.
Weight of everything above = (29.4 + 49 + 19.6) = 98 newtons
Upward force exerted on the Econ book by the table = 98 newtons.

b). Surface where the Econ book meets the Calculus book.
Weight of everything above = (49 + 19.6) = 68.6 newtons.
Upward force exerted on the Calc book by the Econ book = 68.6 newtons.

c).  Surface where the Calculus book meets the Physics book.
Weight of everything above = 19.6 newtons.
Force exerted on the Physics book by the Calc book = 19.6 newtons.

The magnitude of the charge of the electron is:
brilliants [131]

Answer:

a. Exactly the same as the magnitude of the charge of the proton.

Explanation:

The elementary charge (e) is the smallest electric charge that can exist in the universe. Any positive or negative electric charge can be expressed as a multiple of the elementary charge, since is the electric charge carried by a single proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of the electric charge carried by a single electron (-1e).
