The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters).
That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.
Q= mcΔT
Where Q is heat or energy
M is mass, c is heat capacitance and t is temperature
You have to convert Celsius into kelvin in order to use this formula I believe
Celsius + 273 = Kelvin
21 + 273 = 294K
363 + 273 = 636K
Now...
Q= (0.003)(0.129)(636-294)
Q= 0.132 J if you are using kilograms, in terms of grams which seems more appropriate the answer would be 132J of energy.
I think it is b , that what I would i pick
The relevant formula we can use in this case would be:
h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2
where,
h = height or distance travelled
v0 = initial velocity = 0 since it was dropped
t = time = 1 seconds
g = 9.8 m/s^2
So calculating for height h:
h = 0 + 0.5 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (1 s)^2
<span>h = 4.9 meters</span>
