Answer:

Examples of a gravitational potential energy are; a flying helicopter, objects thrown up and examples of elastic energy are; an archers stretched bow, a stretched rubber band

Explanation:

We will start by giving a short definition of the two terminologies

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possess as a result of its position above the surface of the earth.

$E_{P}$ = mgh

where m = mass g = gravitational field strength h= height and $E_{P}$ =gravitational potential energy

Examples are; a flying helicopter, objects thrown up

Elastic energy: This occurs as a result of stretching, compressing or deforming of an object impermanently.

$E_{e}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ke²

where k = spring constant e=extension and $E_{e}$ =Elastic potential energy

examples of elastic energy are; an archers stretched bow, a stretched rubber band

An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How

Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

$g=24 m/s^2$

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m$

What are scientists who study space called?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Astronomer

Explanation:

A scientist who studies the objects in the sky, including planets, galaxies, black holes, and stars, is called an astronomer. These days, the terms astronomer and astrophysicist are used interchangeably, to talk about any physicist who specializes in celestial bodies and the forces that affect them.
