The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

$GPE = mgh$

The weight of the object is given as 20 J and it is raised to a height of 5 m.

$GPE =(mg)*h = (20 N)*(5m)=100 J$

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Once a disk forms around a star, the process of planetary formation can begin. Rank the evolutionary stages for the formation of

PolarNik [594]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The evolutionary stages for the formation of planets from earliest to latest will be:

1. Dust keeps matter inside the disk cool enough for planet formation to start

2. Dust grains form condensation nuclei on which surrounding atoms condense to form small clumps of matter.

3. Small clumps of matter stick together via the process of accretion to form planetesimals a few hundred kilometers in diameter.

4. Planetesimals begin to accrete, forming protoplanets.

5. A collection of a few planet-sized protoplanets remain in a fairly cleared out disk around the star

An archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 45.0m/s at an angle of 50.0degrees with the horizontal.An assistant standing on the

garri49 [273]

Answer:

a) u = 30.29 m/s

b) t = 2.09 s

Explanation:

given,

velocity = 45 m/s

angle (θ) = 50°

horizontal velocity = 45 cos 50°

time taken to reach 150 m.

times = $\dfrac{150}{45 cos 50^0}$

t = 5.19 s

a) height of arrow

$s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$s = v sin \theta \times t+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$s = 45 sin 50^0 \times 5.19 -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 5.19^2$

s = 46.78 m

v² - u² = 2 g s

u² = 2 × 9.81 × 46.78

u = 30.29 m/s

b) time taken by the apple = $\dfrac{u}{g}=\dfrac{30.29}{9.81}$

= 3.09 s

time after which it has to be thrown = 5.19-3.09 = 2.1 s

Calcular la energía cinética de un cometa cuya masa es de 5×10 elevado a 31 kg y se mueve con velocidad de 216000km/h

PolarNik [594]

The kinetic energy is $9\cdot 10^{40}J$ .

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

K is the kinetic energy of the object

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

For the comet in this problem, we have:

$m=5\cdot 10^{31} kg$ is its mass

$v=216,000 km/h$ is the speed

First, we convert the speed from km/h to m/s:

$v=216,000 \frac{km}{h} \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=60,000 m/s$

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the comet is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(5\cdot 10^{31})(60,000)^2=9\cdot 10^{40}J$

Please answer the question below

scoundrel [369]

The correct answer is B.
In a velocity vs time graph, a line going up means an increase in velocity, or speed, which correlates to positive acceleration. Negative acceleration means slowing down.
