You are presently taking a weather observation. the sky is full of wispy cirrus clouds estimated to be about 10 km overhead. if a warm front is approaching from the south, about how far is it (assuming a slope of 1: 200)? enter only the numeric value of the distance.

x = 2000 Km

Explanation:

Given

y = 10 km

Slope: 1 : 200

x = ?

We can apply the formula

y / x = 1 / 200   ⇒     x = 200*y = 200*10 Km

⇒     x = 2000 Km

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
