Which one has greater potential energy? An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff or a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: The 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff.

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object of mass M that is at a height H above the ground us:

U = M*H*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

Then:

"An 8 kg rock sitting on a 2.2 m cliff"

M = 8kg

H = 2.2m

U = 8kg*2.2m*9.8 m/s^2 = 172.48 J

"a 6 kg rock sitting on a 3.2 m cliff"

M = 6kg

H = 3.2m

U = 6kg*3.2m*9.8m/s^2 = 188.16 J

You can see that the 6kg rock on a 3.2m cliff has a larger potential energy.

A police car with its 300-Hz siren is moving toward a warehouse at 30 m/s, intending to crash through the door. The sound bounce

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: The frequency heard will be f = 275.675Hz

Explanation: When an object emitting sound is moving, it occurs a phenomenon called Doppler shift or Doppler effect. What happens is that the sound gets higher when the moving object comes closer the observer and becomes lower after it passes, This change is due to the quantity of waves that passes through an area in an unit of time.

The formula to calculate the Doppler effect is as follows

f = ( $\frac{c}{c+Vs}$ ) · f₀

f is the observed frequency;

c is the speed of sound;

Vs is velocity of the source;

f₀ is the emitted frequency of source;

Substituting and calculating,

f = $\frac{340}{340+30}$ · 300

f = 275.675 Hz

Thus, the frequency heard by the police officer is 275.675Hz.

If 270 watts of power is used in 42 seconds, how much work was done

navik [9.2K]

Answer: W = 11340J

Explanation:

Hey there! I will give the following steps, if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments below.

So this is the Formula: Power = Work / Time.

Step 1: Find the Formula

P = W / T

Step 2: Make W the subject of the equation.

W = PT

Step 3: Given.

P = 270 Watts, T = 42 seconds

Step 4: Substitute these values into equation 2 .

W = 270(42)

Step 5: Simplify.

W = 11340J

The amount of work done was 11340.

~I hope I helped you! :)~
