Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

An opaque objects are those object which does not allow light to pass through them. It blocks the path of light.

For example, wood.

When an opaque object is placed in the path of light then light does not pass through the object.

Light continue travels in a straight path until it bounces off the ground. Then, it will form a shadow.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Which three factors are used to calculate gravitational potential energy?

Elis [28]

Explanation:

PEgrav = m *• g • h

In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.

What type of energy does the box have after it is done being pulled?

Ksivusya [100]

Assuming that the box is moving when it is being pulled, Work is done on the box.

So work is the Force times the distance

W=Fd

But what is work actually ? When something moves due to force over some change in distance, it have energy.

But where does this energy come from ? Does it magically appear ? The energy comes from the applied force onto the box.

So the energy have been transferred. And it’s like that throughout the universe

Now to save time, I’ll just tell you the answer: kinetic energy

Explain how tidal forces are causing Earth to slow down.

dybincka [34]

Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.

Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.

A 200kg ball on the end of string is swung in horizontal circle with radius of 0.5m . The ball makes revolution every 2second th

ANEK [815]

Answer: $\dfrac{\pi}{2} ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Let $T$ be the time required to make one revolution.

Let $r$ be the radius of the circular path.

Let $d$ be the distance travelled by ball in one revolution.

As we know,the distance travelled in one revolution is the circumference of the circle.

So, $d=2\pi r$

Given, $d=0.5m\\T=2sec$

$d=2\times \pi \times 0.5=\pi m$

Speed of an object moving is circular path is define as the ratio of distance travelled in one revolution to the time taken by the object to complete one revolution.

Let $s$ be the speed of the ball.

$s=\frac{d}{T}=\frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}$

So,the speed of the ball is $\frac{\pi }{2}ms^{-1}$
