<h2>
Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>
Explanation:
<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.
</em>
That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.
In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy
will be:
Where
is the mass of the object,
the acceleration due gravity and
the height of the object.
As we can see, the value of
is directly proportional to the height.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed, v₁ = 7.7 m/s
We need to find the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point. Let it is given by v₂. Using the conservation of energy as :




So, the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Apparent depth = 45 cm
Explanation:
The refractive index of water in a pool, n = 4/3
Real depth, d = 60 cm
We need to find its apparent depth when viewed vertically through air. The ratio of real depth to the apparent depth is equal to the refractive index of the material. Let the apparent depth is d'. So,

So, the apparent depth is 45 cm.
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Explanation:
As per momentum conservation we know that there is no external force on this system so initial and final momentum must be same
So we will have




Part b)
By equation of kinetic energy we have
