The distance from the base of the building the rock will land is 26.4 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Distance (s) =?
<h3>Determination of the time to reach the ground </h3>
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

8.5 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

8.5 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 8.5 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(8.5 / 4.9)

t = 1.32 s

<h3>How to determine the distance </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Time (t) = 1.32 s
  • Distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 20 × 1.32

s = 26.4 m

Describe a change caused by kinetic energy as well as a change that involves potential energy
kykrilka [37]
Kinetic energy is formed when the object is in motion.
Potential energy is the energy that is formed relative to others.

One of the example is Corn flour factory.

Corn turned into flour by a windmill that moved by the waterfall. Movement of the mill is relative to the power given by waterfall (potential energy) and the spinning crushes the corn into flour (kinetic energy)

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

so

m = 4000 / 2.20462 =  1814.37 kg

Initial velocity V_{i} = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity V_{f} = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = \frac{1}{2}m(  V_{i}² - V_{f}² )

we substitute

Δk = \frac{1}{2}×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = \frac{1}{2} × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

so

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh
