Which object has the most gravitational potential energy? Select the correct answer below:

Physics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a) an airplane in mid-flight

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is defined by

E_{potential} =m*g*h

where m is the mass of the object;

g is the gravitational acceleration;

an h is the height of the object;

For the examples, the highest value in potential energy will be for the airplane, because it has the more mass and the higher altitude by far in relation to the baseball or the bird.

When an object is in circular motion it is constantly changing its velocity.
EleoNora [17]

Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?
steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}

We know that:

E_T = U + K

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>

What is the average speed for the entire graph?
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Divide the total distance traveled by the total time spent traveling. This will give you your average speed. . So if Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour, his average speed was about 57 mph.
