A2.80 kg mass is dropped from a height of 4.50 m. what is its total mechanical energy(me)?me

123 J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy

ME = PE + KE

ME = mgh + ½ mv²

ME = (2.80 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (4.50 m) + ½ (2.80 kg) (0 m/s)²

ME = 123 J

126Joules.

Explanation:

The kind of mechanical energy possessed by this body is known as potential energy. Potential energy is the energy possess by a body by virtue if its position.

P.E = mass×acceleration due to gravity×height

P.E = 2.8×10×4.5 (taking g as 10m/s²)

P.E = 126Joules.

The total mechanical energy possessed by the body is 126Joules

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
