The mass of the rock is 1220 kg. it had 400 j of potential energy when it rolled down the hill. calculate the heihht.

potential is equal to mgh

we know that mass = 1220 kg

g=9.8 0r 10

400=1220*9.8*x

400=11956x

x=400/11956

height = 3.2 meters (approximately)

Explanation:

Potential energy is usually defined as the amount of energy that is stored in an object by virtue of its position. It is denoted by P.E.

Mathematically,

⇒ P.E = mass × gravity × height

Given that,

P.E = 400 J

Mass, m = 1220 kg

Gravity can be taken as, g = 9.8 m/sec²

⇒ 400 = 1220 × 9.8 × height

⇒ Height = 400 ÷ (1220 × 9.8)

⇒ Height = 400 ÷ 124.5

⇒ Height = 3.2 meters

less than one you can't create energy

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
