The gravitational potential energy is calculated by multiplying the mass of the object to the height and the gravitational acceleration which is 9.8 m/s^2. We do as follows:

GPE = mgh
GPE = 4942
4942 = m (9.8)(6.15)
m = 82 kg 

Hope this helps.

A 50-kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the
wel

Answer:

a)  amount of kinetic energy converted to internal energy  = 2.5 x 10 raised to power 7 Joule

b) Kinetic energy gained by the earth = 2.1 x 10-16J

c) All the kinetic energy is converted to internal energy and the energy is further converted to thermal energy hence the reason for the hotness at around where the meteorite strikes.

Explanation:

The detailed steps and appropriate application of the law of conservation of momentum is as shown in the attached file.

Kristina works out seven days a week. Lately, she has been tired, and her body aches. If she is overtraining, which training pri
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As Kristina is over training, therefore, there is pain in her muscles because human body also requires rest in order to work or function properly.

That is why, gym trainers suggest to give one day off in a week for your workout sessions so that body muscles should recover.

Thus, we can conclude that if Kristina is over training, then recovery training principle should Kristina consider before continuing her program.

the millersburg ferry (m=13000.0 kg loaded) puts its engines in full reverse and stops in 65 seconds. if the speed before brakin
kenny6666 [7]

The braking force is -400 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the impulse applied on the ferry (the product of force and time) is equal to its change in momentum:

F \Delta t = m(v-u)

where in this problem, we have:

F is the force applied by the brakes

\Delta t = 65 s is the time interval

m = 13,000 kg is the mass of the ferry

u = 2.0 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

And solving for F, we find the force applied by the brakes:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(13000)(0-2.0)}{65}=-400 N

where the negative sign indicates that the direction is backward.

A circular surface with a radius of 0.057 m is exposed to a uniform external electric field of magnitude 1.44 × 104 N/C. The mag
klio [65]

Answer:

57.94°

Explanation:

we know that the expression of flux

\Phi =E\times S\times COS\Theta

where Ф= flux

           E= electric field

           S= surface area

        θ = angle between the direction of electric field and normal to the surface.

we have Given Ф= 78 \frac{Nm^{2}}{sec}

                          E=1.44\times 10^{4}\frac{Nm}{C}

                          S=\pi \times 0.057^{2}

                         COS\Theta =\frac{\Phi }{S\times E}

 =   \frac{78}{1.44\times 10^{4}\times \pi \times 0.057^{2}}

 =0.5306

 θ=57.94°

Why is a solution of 4% acetic acid in 95% ethanol used to wash the crude aldol-dehydration product?
raketka [301]

A cold acetic acid solution is used to wash the residue of the reagent in preparation of an aldol condensation product after vacuum filtration.  The main reason in washing with the acetic acid rinse is to neutralize any sodium hydroxide.
