Answer:

G.P.E = 368.3

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.63kg

Height, h = 14.29m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/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.

$G.P.E = 2.63*9.8*14.29$

G.P.E = 368.3

Note: the unit of gravitational potential energy is Joules.

Zolol [24]

''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

<h3>What is respiration?</h3>

Respiration is the cellular process of releasing energy from food. Some of the energy released is used to produce ATP. 90 percent of energy is lost as heat energy whereas 10 percent energy is transferred to other trophic levels.

So we can conclude that ''Energy is destroyed because animals are higher levels do not need as much energy'' is not the valid reason.

On a very muddy football field, a 110kg linebacker tackles an 85kg halfback. Immediately before the collision, the linebacker is

Alchen [17]

<span>Using conservation of energy and momentum you can solve this question. M_l = mass of linebacker
M_ h = mass of halfback
V_l = velocity of linebacker
V_h = velocity of halfback

So for conservation of momentum,
rho = mv

M_l x V_li + M_h x V_hi = M_l x V_lf + M_h x V_hf

For conservation of energy (kinetic)
E_k = 1/2mv^2/ 1/2mV_li^2 + 1/2mV_{hi}^2 = 1/2mV_{lf}^2 + 1/2mV_{hf}^2

Where i and h stand for initial and final values.
We are already told the masses, \[M_l = 110kg\] \[M_h = 85kg\] and the final velocities \[V_{fi} = 8.5ms^{-1}\] and \[V_{ih} = 7.2ms^{-1} </span>

patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

When empty , H₀ length of barge is inside water .

volume of barge inside water = A x H₀

Weight of displaced water = AH₀ x ρ x g

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water = AH₀ ρg

It should balance the weight of barge

Weight = buoyant force

Weight = AH₀ ρg

mass of barge = weight / g

weight / g = AH₀ ρ

= 550 x .55 x 1000

= 302500 kg
