A 10 kg ball is rolled to the top of a hill 37 m high using 4000 J of work. How much energy was lost due to heat?

370.3J

Explanation:

A 10 kg ball is rolled to the top of a hill 37 m high using 4000 J of work. How much energy was lost due to heat?

Step one:

given data

mass m= 10kg

height of the hill= 37m

work done= 4000J

Step two:

The quantity of energy loss due to heat is the same as the difference in the  potential energy possed by the mass and the work done

PE= mgh

PE=10*9.81*37

PE= 3629.7J

Hence the energy loss is

= 4000-3629.7

=370.3J

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
