Answer:

PE = 882 J

Explanation:

Through the International System we know that the gravity of the earth is 9.8 m/s², so...

Data:

m = 45 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 2 m
PE = ?

Formula:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}$

Replace and solve:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=45\ kg*\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*2\ m}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=882\ J}}}$

The potential energy of the sled is <u>882 Joules</u>.

Which wavelength would scientists use to measure the molecular structure of H2O?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

To find out what water is made of, it helps to look at its chemical formula, which is H2O. This basically tells us that the water molecule is composed of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen or, more precisely, two hydrogen atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O).

For a particular type of motion, the velocity is zero but the speed is a nonzero quantity. Which statement can you make about th

masha68 [24]

Answer:

because speed is the modulus of velocity which is a vector

the velocity to be zero it must be a round trip

Explanation:

This is because speed is the modulus of velocity which is a vector.

For the velocity to be zero it must be a round trip, therefore the resulting vector zero

On the other hand, the speed of the module is the same in both directions

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

80 Ω.

Explanation:

In this circuit the resistances are in series.The equivalent resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances. Req= 60 + 20 = 80 Ω.

A disk-shaped platform has a known rotational inertia ID. The platform is mounted on a fixed axle and rotates in a horizontal pl

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular momentum of that same disk-sphere remains unchanged the very same way before and after the impact of the collision when the clay sphere adheres to the disk.

$\mathbf{I_w}$ = constant.

The overall value of such moment of inertia is now altered when the clay spherical sticks. Due to the inclusion of the clay sphere, the moment of inertia will essentially rise. As a result of this increase, the angular speed w decreases in value.

Recall that:

The Kinetic energy is given by:

$\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} Iw^2} \\ \\\mathbf{K = \dfrac{1}{2} lw*w}$

where;

$\mathbf{I_w}$ is constant and w reduces;

As a result, just after the collision, the system's total kinetic energy decreases.
