Mariulka [41]3 years ago
5 0

The potential energy (P.E) of the rock relative to the base of the cliff is 31,054.926 Joules..

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of rock = 7.5 kg
  • Height = 0.7 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

To calculate the potential energy (P.E) of the rock relative to the base of the cliff:

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

Potential energy (P.E) can be defined as the energy that is possessed by an object due to its position (height) above planet Earth.

Mathematically, potential energy (P.E) is given by this formula;

P.E = mgh

<u>Where:</u>

  • P.E is the potential energy.
  • m is the mass of an object.
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity.
  • h is the height of an object.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

P.E = 15.9 \times 9.8 \times 199.3

P.E = 31,054.926 Joules.

As a rain storm passes through a region, there is an associated drop in atmospheric pressure. If the height of a mercury baromet
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

Explanation:

given data

height = 21.6 mm = 0.0216 m

Normal atmospheric pressure = 1.013 ✕ 10^5 Pa

density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³

to find out

atmospheric pressure

solution

we find first height of mercury when normal pressure that is

pressure p = ρ×g×h

put here value

1.013 × 10^{5}  = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × h

h =  0.759 m

so change in height Δh = 0.759 - 0.0216

new height H = 0.7374 m

so new pressure = ρ×g×H

put here value

new pressure = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × 0.7374

atmospheric pressure = 98380.9584

so new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement.

velocity is a vector quantity, that means it requires both magnitude and direction to completely explain the velocity.

For example, the velocity is 5 ms due east, it means an object is moving with speed 5 ms in the direction of east. We can say that the object covers the displacement of 5 m in one second due east.
