Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sun set over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the

top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?

A jet plane travels at 40.8 km at an average speed of 340 m/s calculate how long this journey took- giveyour answer to the neare
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

2\ \text{minutes}

Explanation:

d = Distance traveled = 40.8 km

s = Speed of jet = 340 m/s

Time is given by

t=\dfrac{d}{s}

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{40.8\times 10^3}{340}

\Rightarrow t=120\ \text{s}

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{120}{60}=2\ \text{minutes}

The time taken to complete the journey is 2\ \text{minutes}.

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh
