1.47x10^5 Joules
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.
It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.
Answer:
If the temperature of the air in the balloon is less than the temperature of the air surrounding the balloon then the balloon will appear slightly deflated because of the difference in temperature.
As the temperature of the air in the balloon reaches the surrounding air temperature, then the balloon will appear to be fully inflated because the temperature of the air in the balloon is the same as the surrounding air temperature.
D.) White Dwarf
It is the smallest star whose mass is approximately equal or greater than 1.4M
Here, M = mass of the Sun.
Hope this helps!
