Given data:

Mass of oyster (m) = 25 g,

= 0.025 kg ( since 1 Kg = 1000 g)

Height of oyster (h) = 11 m,

determine gravitational potential energy (GPE) = ?

Gravitational potential energy is energy of an object possesses because of its position on the earth. The amount of gravitational potential energy of an object on earth depends on its mass and height from the earth.

Mathematically,

GPE = m. g. h Joules

Where,

GPE = gravitational potential energy,

m = mass of object in Kg,

g = gravitational force in m/s², g = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of the object in meters,

Now substituting all the values in the equation GPE

GPE = 0.025 Kg × 9.8 m/s² × 11 m

= 2.695 J

Gravitational potential energy of the oyster is 2.695 J

Answer:HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

THE POINTS ARE

IF WE PUT THE OBJECT BETWEEN THE FOCUS

AND THE POLE

THEN THE IMAGE FORMED WILL be MAGNIFIED

If that’s not what you are looking for, try this one:

For concave mirror the virtual image is formed when the object is kept in between the pole and the focus.

Given here the "size of the image" is twice to that of the object.

Hence, it is consider that the magnification is +2.

So, the magnification value is positive and the image formed will be "virtual and erect". Thus, the object should be kept in between the "pole and the focus" in concave mirror."

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\mathrm{C. \ \ \frac{500}{7 \times 15 \times 8} \ g/cm^3 }}$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle \sf Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

$\displaystyle \rho = \frac{m}{V}$

$\sf mass=500 \ g$

$\sf volume \ of \ a \ cuboid=width \times length \times height=( 7 \times 15 \times 8) \ cm^3$

$\displaystyle \rho = \frac{500}{7 \times 15 \times 8}$

A helicopter is traveling with a velocity of 12 m/s directly upward.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

H = 27.35 m

Explanation:

From projectile motion, we know that;

h = (v_o)²/2g

Where;

v_o = 12 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Thus;

h = 12²/(2 × 9.8)

h = 144/19.6

h = 7.35 m

Now, we are told that when the man is 20 m above the pillow, he lets go of

the rope.

Thus, greatest height reached by the man above the ground is;

H = 20 + h

H = = 20 + 7.35

H = 27.35 m

11. An object moves in circular path with constant speed

Temka [501]

Answer:

B. Is its acceleration constant

Explanation:

Uniform circular motion can be described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nonetheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction.
