One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy. What is necessary for an object to have gravitational potential

galben [10]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Option B, Fix the piston in place so the volume of the pas remains constant

Explanation:

As we know

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

The effect on variable due to another variable can be studied by keeping the third variable constant.

Hence, in order the study the variation of temperature with pressure or vice versa, the volume needs to fixed at a certain value.

Hence, option B is correct

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?

topjm [15]

The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain

The engine of a 2000 kg Mercedes going up Pike’s Peak delivers energy to its drive wheel at the rate 100 kW . Neglecting air res

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg

Power delivered = 100 kW

angle made with horizontal = 30°

acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

largest speed car can sustain = ?

we know,

Power = Force x velocity

P = F x v

P = mg sinθ x v

P = mg sin 30° x v

P = 0.5 mg x v

$v = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3}{0.5\times 2000 \times 10}$

v = 10 m/s

hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s
