The correct answer to the question is : B) The weight of the water, and C) The height of the water.

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand potential energy of a body.

The potential energy of a body due to its position from ground is known as gravitational potential energy.

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as -

Potential energy P.E = mgh

Here, m is the mass of the body, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h stands for the height of the body from the ground.

We know that weight of a body is equal to the product of mass with acceleration due to gravity.

Hence, weight W = mg

Hence, potential energy is written as P.E = weight × height.

Hence, potential energy depends on the weight and height of the water.

Answer would be: B & C
Potential energy = weight * height

Hope this helps!

<h3>What is gravitational potential energy?</h3>

The energy that an item has due to its location in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

The potential energy increases by 3773 J

PE₂-PE₁=mg(h₂-h₁)

3773 J = 35.0 × 9.81 × (h₂-h₁)

(h₂-h₁) = 10.98

Case 2 ;

ΔPE =?

ΔPE=mg(h₂-h₁)

ΔPE=56.0 × 9.81 ×10.98

ΔPE=6031.97 J.

Hence, the increase in potential energy of his mother if her mass is 56.0 kg will be 6031.97 J.

what is a hypothesis reffered to as after being verified by a large number or independent experiments

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The hypothesis may or may not be true and needs to be tested. It might be the answer to the problem. Hence, it must be tested thoroughly. When these predictions are tested again and again in independent scientific experiments and gets verified, the hypothesis is converted into a scientific theory.

A firecracker breaks up into three pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$|P_3|=21.242m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=200g=0.2$

Speed $v=82.0m/s$

Mass $M_2=300g=0.3kg$

Speed $V_2=45.0m/s$

Generally the equation for Magnitude of the Third piece is mathematically given by

$P_1+P_2+P_3=0$

$|P_3|=|P_1+P_2|$

Where

$P_1=m_1v_1$

$P_1=0.2*82$

$P_1=16.4kgm/s$

And

$P_2=0.3*45$

$P_2=13.5kgm/s$

Therefore

$|P_3|=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}$

$|P_3|=21.242m/s$
