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!

How did harlow shapley conclude that the sun was not in the center of the milky way galaxy?
timurjin [86]

We learned that We are in the disk of the Galaxy, about 5/8 of the way from the center.

<h3>What is the work of Harlow Shapley?</h3>

Shapley, who was headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, used Cepheid variable stars to estimate the size of the Milky Way Galaxy and its position relative to the Sun. In 1953, he published his "liquid water belt" theory, today known as the concept of a livable zone.

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

Approximately 5/8 of the way from the galaxy's nucleus, we are in the disc. William Herschel believed that the Sun and Earth were about in the middle of the vast cluster of stars known as the Milky Way.

A hockey puck is traveling to the left with a velocity of v=10 when it is struck by the hockey stick
Lera25 [3.4K]
We have to calculate the impulse of a hockey puck.
Imp = m * ( v 1 - v 2 ) = m * Δ v
v 1 = - 10 i m/s,
v 2 = ( 20 * cos 40° ) i + ( 20 * sin 40° ) j =
= ( 20 * 0.766 ) i + ( 20 * 0.64278 ) j = ( 15.32 i + 12.855 j ) m/s
Δ v = ( 15.32 i + 12.855 j ) - ( - 10 i ) =
= 15.32 i + 12.855 j + 10 i = 25.32 i + 12.855 j
| Δv | = √ ( 25.32² + 12.855²) = √806.35 = 28.4 m/s
Imp = 0.2 kg * 28.4 m/s = 5.68 N-s
Answer: D ) 5.68 N-s.
