Answer:

Ep = 117600 J

Explanation:

Data:

Mass (m) = 600 kg
Height (h) = 20 m
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m

Multiply operations, and units:

Ep = 117600 J

What is the potential energy?

The potential energy is 117600 Joules.

what occurs when a swimmer pushes through the water to swim answers are (A) the water exerts a reaction force on the swimmer (B)

miv72 [106K]

When a swimmer pushes through water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet. It's A. The water doesn't automatically push the swimmer forward. It releases a reaction after the swimmer pushes through the water.

You are designing a 108 cm3 right circular cylindrical can whose manufacture will take waste into account. There is no waste in

FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The volume of a right circular cylindrical, $V=108\ cm^3$

We know that the volume of the cylinder is given by :

$V=\pi r^2 h$

$108=\pi r^2 h$

$h=\dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}$ ............(1)

The upper area is given by :

$A=32r^2+2\pi rh$

$A=32r^2+2\pi r\times \dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}$

$A=32r^2+\dfrac{216}{r}$

For maximum area, differentiate above equation wrt r such that, we get :

$\dfrac{dA}{dr}=64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}$

$64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}=0$

$r^3=\dfrac{216}{64}$

r = 1.83 m

Dividing equation (1) with r such that,

$\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi r}$

$\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi 1.83}$

$\dfrac{h}{r}=59 \pi$

Hence, this is the required solution.

An example of kinetic energy is a _____.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body or system possesses due to its movement. In physics this energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in rest position, until reaching a certain speed. This energy obtained will remain unchanged as long as this body does not vary its speed. That is, kinetic energy measures how many changes an object that is moving can cause.

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop. If the car is moving and comes to a stop, there is a change in speed, therefore in movement, eventually producing a change in kinetic energy. This energy depends on the mass of the body, in this case the car, and the speed. As the speed decreases, the kinetic energy will decrease.

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

14.57 ohms

Explanation:

Here in the figure ,Rb & R₄are in series & also Rc & R₅ are in series. As they are in series , ( Rb + R₄ ) & (Rc & R₅) are in parallel . So the equivalent resistance in that branch = ( 2 + 18 ) ║ ( 3 + 12 )

= 20 ║ 15

= (20×15) / (20 + 15)

= 8.57 ohms

Also Ra ( 6 ohm ) is in series with that branch ,. So the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit = 8.57 + 6 = 14.57 ohms.
