How much energy does a 50 kg rock have if it is sitting on the edge of a 15 m cliff?

Physics

noname [10]2 years ago

Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the rock sitting on the edge of the cliff is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the mass of the rock

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the cliff

In this problem, we have

m = 50 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = 15 m

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find:

U=(50 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(15 m)=7350 J

At room temperature, a typical person loses energy to the surroundings at the rate of 62 W. If this energy loss has to be made u
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the given proportions of power and energy, as well as the energy conversion factor in Jules to Calories.

The power is defined as the amount of energy lost per second and whose unit is Watt. Therefore the energy loss rate given in seconds was

P = \frac{E}{t} \rightarrow E= Energy, t = time

P = 62W = 62 \frac{J}{s}

The rate of energy loss per day would then be,

P = 62\frac{J}{s} (\frac{86400s}{1day})

P = 5356800 \frac{J}{day}

That is to say that Energy in Jules per lost day is 5356800J

By definition we know that 1KCal = 4.184*10^{6}J

In this way the energy in Cal is,

E = 5356800J \frac{1KCal}{4.184*10^{6}J}

E = 1279.694 KCal

The number of kilocalories (food calories) must be 1279.694 KCal

Two resistors ( 3 ohms & 6 ohms) in a series circuit with a power supply = 12 volts. The current through resistor 6 ohms is
Scorpion4ik [409]

In a series circuit . . .

-- The total resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.

-- The current is the same at every point in the circuit.

The total resistance in this circuit is (3Ω + 6Ω )  =  9Ω

The current at every point is (V/R) = (12v / 9Ω ) = <em>1.33 A</em> .

Pick choice<em> (a)</em>.

A 25cm×25cm horizontal metal electrode is uniformly charged to +50 nC . What is the electric field strength 2.0 mm above the cen
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The electric field strength is 4.5\times 10^{4} N/C

Solution:

As per the question:

Area of the electrode, A_{e} = 25\times 25\times 10^{- 4} m^{2} = 0.0625 m^{2}

Charge, q = 50 nC = 50\times 10^{- 9} C[/etx]Distance, x = 2 mm = [tex]2\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

To calculate the electric field strength, we first calculate the surface charge density which is given by:

\sigma = \frac{q}{A_{e}} = \frac{50\times 10^{- 9}}{0.0625} = 8\times 10^{- 7}C/m^{2}

Now, the electric field strength of the electrode is:

\vec{E} = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_{o}}

where

\epsilon_{o} = 8.85\times 10^{- 12} F/m

\vec{E} = \frac{8\times 10^{- 7}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{- 12}}

\vec{E} = 4.5\times 10^{4} N/C

A grasshopper jumps at a 65.0 degree angle at 5.42m/s. At what time does it reach its maximum height?
crimeas [40]
When the grasshoppers vertical velocity is exactly zero.
v = -g•t + v0.
v: vertical part of velocity. Is zero at maximum height.
g: 9.81
t: time you are looking for
v0: initial vertical velocity
Find the vertical part of the initial velocity, by using the angle at which the grasshopper jumps.
