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.

Is the star moving toward earth, away from earth, or is there not enough information provided to determine its motion?
ivanzaharov [21]

If a star is moving towards Earth, shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift. If the star is moving away from Earth the light from that star will be red and is called red shift .

The faster a star moves towards the earth, the more its light is shifted to higher frequencies. In contrast, if a star is moving away from the earth, its light is shifted to lower frequencies on the color spectrum

if a star is moving towards Earth, it appears to emit light that is shorter in wavelength compared to a source of light that isn't moving. Because shorter wavelengths correspond to a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift.

If the star is moving away from Earth, its light will lose energy to reach Earth, therefore the light from that star will be red and is called red shift

Anyone plz help!! I need the answer of q-b !
Lady_Fox [76]
The coil is rotated rapidly in the magnetic field.
The magnetic flux linked with the coil changes and thus, an emf is induced which leads to the flow of current .

when the coil rotates and is in a position along the direction of the magnetic field, emf is maximum while when it is perpendicular to the magnetic field,emf is 0.

Thus an ac generator converts mechanical to electrical energy.It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The polarity at the supply terminals changes like.. 100 times a second if the frequency is 50 Hz(50 times+ and 50 times - )

hope it helps!
