Given:-

Mass of boulder = 10kg

Final Velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = +10m/s

To Find:-

The kinetic energy of the boulder as it lands

The potential energy of the boulder when it was at the top of the cliff

The height of the cliff

Formulae used:-

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

Potential energy = mgh

Now,

We will first find the Kinetic enrgy,

→ K. E = ½mv²

→ K. E = ½ × 10 × (15)²

→ K. E = 5 × 225

→ K. E =1125J

But we know that when the body starts moving the Potential enrgy of the body starts Converting into Kinetic enrgy. Before reaching to the last spot it has equal kinetic energy and Potential energy.

Therefore,

→ mgh = 1125J

The Potential enrgy of the boulder when it was on top is 1125J

Now,

→ mgh = 1125J

→ 10 × 10 × h = 1125J

→ 100h = 1125J

→ h = 1125/100

→ h = 11.25m

Hence, The Height of the Cliff is 11.25m

Answer:

The right response will be "450 volts".

Explanation:

The given values are:

R1 = 4.00 cm

R2 = 6.00 cm

q1 = +6.00 nC

q2 = −9.00 nC

As we know,

The potential difference between the two shell's difference will be:

⇒ $\Delta V=K[(\frac{q1}{R1}+\frac{q2}{R2})-(\frac{q1}{R1} +(\frac{q2}{R2}))]$

$=K[\frac{q1}{R2}-\frac{q1}{R1} ]$

On substituting the values, we get

$=(9\times 10^9)[\frac{6\times 10^{-9}}{0.04}-\frac{6\times 10^{-9}}{0.06}]$

Δ $=450 \ volts$

Comparing helium atoms with nitrogen molecules at the same temperature, the helium atoms on average are moving _______ and have

mylen [45]

Answer:

Helium atoms compared to nitrogen atoms are moving faster and have a greater kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The molecular velocity of a gas at room temperature is inverse proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.

The greater the molecular mass of the gas the lesser the average speed of its molecules. Comparing the molecular masses of nitrogen and helium, helium is found to have a lower molecular mass and a corresponding greater velocity.

Hence helium moves faster than nitrogen and has a higher kinetic energy than nitrogen
