Answer:

2943 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height in meters

(P.E. = mgh)

Substitute the given numbers: (I take acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m s^-2)

PE = 40 x 9.81 x (0.15x50)

PE = 2943 J

The acceleration of gravity on the moon is about 1.6 m/sec 2. An experiment to test gravity compares the time it takes objects t
Valentin [98]
The answer is <span>b. 6.1 times as long
</span>
Step 1: Calculate the time <span>it takes objects to reach a speed on the Moon.
</span>Step 2: Calculate the time it takes objects to reach a speed on the Earth.
Step 3. Divide the time on the Moon by the time on the Earth.

Use the formula: v2 = v1 + at
v2 - the final velocity
v1 - the initial velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

Step 1.
Moon:
<span>v1 = 0 (because it is free fall)
v2 = 10 m/s
a = 1.6 m/s</span>²
t = ?
______
v2 = v1 + at
10 = 0 + 1.6t
10 = 1.6t
t = 10/1.6
t = 6.25 s


Step 2.
Earth:
v1 = 0 (because it is free fall)
v2 = 10 m/s
a = 9.81 m/s²
t = ?
______
v2 = v1 + at
10 = 0 + 9.81t
10 = 9.81t
t = 10/9.81
t = 1.02 s


Step 3:
6.25 s / 1.02 s = 6.1 s
