3 objects that have gravitational potential energy?

2 answers:

8 0

When an object is above the Earth's surface it has gravitational potential energy (GPE). The amount of GPE an object has depends on its mass and its height above the Earth's surface.
The weight of an object is the size of the force of gravity pulling the object down. When an object falls it transfers GPE to KE (kinetic energy).

Consider the possible scenarios and determine which of them are true for positive feedbacks or negative feedbacks.A. Increased p

avanturin [10]

Answer:

Scenario A, B and E is True.

Explanation:

Scenario A) True. Removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere decreases greenhouse effect of atmosphere. Thus, temperature rise decreases.

Scenario B) True. The more evaporation creates the more greenhouse effect. Therefore, temperature rise increases.

Scenario C) False. Removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere decreases greenhouse effect of atmosphere. Thus, temperature rise decreases.

Scenario D) False. The more evaporation creates the more greenhouse effect. Therefore, temperature rise increases.

Scenario E) True. If reflected radiation increases from Earth, temperature rise of the Earth will decrease. Ice cover increases reflectivity which leads temperature level decrease.

Scenario F) False. If reflected radiation increases from Earth, temperature rise of the Earth will decrease. Ice cover increases reflectivity which leads temperature level decrease.

A 0.300 kg ball, moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s, has a head-on collision with at 0.600 kg ball initially at rest. Assuming a per

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of first ball=0.3 kg

Its speed before collision=2.5 m/s

Its speed after collision=2 m/s

Mass of second ball=0.6 kg

Momentum of 1st ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.3kg*2.5m/s

=0.75 kg m/s

Momentum of 2nd ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Since the first ball undergoes head on collision with the second ball,

momentum of first ball=momentum of second ball

0.75 kg m/s=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Velocity of 2nd ball=0.75 kg m/s ÷ 0.6 kg

=1.25 m/s

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

$mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s$

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

Elis [28]

Answer:

Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of trip = 710-mi

Average speed for the trip = 55.7 mi/h

Find:

Time taken for trip = ?

Computation:

⇒ Time = Distance / Speed

⇒ Time taken for trip = Distance of trip / Average speed for the trip

⇒ Time taken for trip = 710-mi / 55.7 mi/h

⇒ Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)
