Francine is standing on the edge of a cliff. She determines that she has 6615J of gravitational potential energy relative to the bottom of the cliff. If she has a mass of 45kg, how high is the cliff?

h = 14.98 [m]

Explanation:

We can calculate this height using the definition of potential energy, which tells us that this energy is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration by height. In this way we can find the height, by means of the following equation:

where:

Epot = potential energy = 6615 [J]

m = mass = 45 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

answer: b.

explanation:

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
