The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

it's newton's second law

What is the mass of a bird if it has a potential energy of 147J when flying at a height of 30 m above the ground?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0.5kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Potential energy = 147J

Height = 30m

Unknown:

Mass of the bird = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. Now, the expression for finding the potential energy is given as;

P.E = mgH

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H is the height

147 = m x 9.8 x 30

m = 0.5kg

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about $9.8 m/s2.$

Which is represented as;

$PE_g=mgh$

$PE_g$ stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
