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.

never [62]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

When a rockets thrusters push on the ground the ground pushes back on the rocket with equal force in the opposite direction. Hence the rocket takes off.

Newtons third law of motion states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What conversion takes place in a generator?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B. An electric current into a magnetic field

Explanation:

The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current.

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached
MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

  • When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
  • During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
  • In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
  • At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.
