Answer:

<em>h = 20 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

The weight of an object of mass m is:

W = m.g

Thus, the GPE is:

U=W.h

Solving for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac{U}{W}

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

\displaystyle h=\frac{800}{40}=20

h = 20 m

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

A wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of?
tatyana61 [14]
The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds. 
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

A 2000 kg car slams on the brakes and slows down at a rate of -10 m/s2. How much force are the brakes applying?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

-20,000N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s²)

So,

Force = 2000 x -10

= -20,000N (Newtons)

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?
Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows  from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.
