Formula for potential energy is V=mgh, where m is mass in KG, g is earth acceleration (10 m/s^2), and h its height in meters. We know mass, acceleration is constant and also known, we know height also. Lets substitute
V=75*10*300=225000[J]=225[kJ] - its the answer
Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.
Explanation:
- Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
- Let be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.
- Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
- The direction of the swimmer is upstream.
Hence the resultant velocity is given as, = S — S 0
= 1.25 — 1
= 0.25 m/s.
Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
They would fall with the same acceleration
Answer:
The charges from the thunderstorm flow through the conductive metal
of which the vehicle is made and distribute themselves on the outside surface of the vehicle
Explanation:
It is actually safer to stay inside a car during a thunderstorm rather than standing outside the car. The reason is this, thunder passes electrical charges through a conductor. The body of the vehicle is made of a metal which is a good conductor of electricity. The charges will redistribute themselves on the body of the vehicle (a metallic conductor of electricity) hence the occupants of the car are relatively safe.
The reasons described above makes those inside the vehicle relatively safe compared to a person standing outside.
The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
