The point with the greatest potential energy is B.

The potential energy of an object is depends on the relative distance between the object and the ground and its mass. The higher the object is from the ground the greater the potential energy posses.

Potential energy (P.E) = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height from the ground to where the object is.

Since the mass and gravity is constant in this case, only the height will determine the point with the greatest P.E and that point is B.

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)

How fast would 40 Newtons of force accelerate a 2 kg object?

Digiron [165]

Answer:

$20 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem:

F = 40 N is the force on the object

m = 2 kg is its mass

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{40}{2}=20 m/s^2$
