294000J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill = 500m

Mass of Chris = 60kg

Unknown:

Potential energy increase = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of the position of a body.

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the bike

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

At the base of the hill,

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 0 = 0J

At the top:

    P.E = mgh = 60 x 9.8 x 500 = 294000J

Potential energy increase = 294000J - 0J = 294000J

A ball is kicked on a planet the size of Earth but with twice the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum height of the ball
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The value t = 1.995 \  s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The acceleration due to gravity is a = 2g

The maximum height is h= 39 m

Generally from the kinematic equation

             s =  ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Here u  is the velocity of the ball at maximum height before it start falling and the value is  0 m/s

So

            39 =  0* t + \frac{1}{2} (2g)t^2

            39 = (9.8)t^2

            t =  \sqrt{3.9795918}

t = 1.995 \  s

What is the volume of a marble with a diameter of 3.0
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

You can solve for volume using radius or diameter.

Sphere Volume   =   4/3 • π • r³     =     ( π •d³)/6

We're given the diameter so let's use that.

Volume = PI * d^3 / 6

Volume = 3.14159 * 3.0^3 / 6

Volume = 3.14159 * 9 / 2

Volume = 14.137 cubic centimeters
