We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

An object 1,000 km above earths surface would accelerate
Verizon [17]

The acceleration which is gained by an object because of the gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The formula is ‘the change in velocity= gravity x time’ The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2.[1]

A Cessna aircraft has a lift off speed of 147 km/h. What minimum constant acceleration does this require if the aircraft is to b
netineya [11]

Answer:

The acceleration is  a =51945 \ km/h^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The lift up speed is  v  = 147 \  km/h

    The distance covered for the take off run is s =  208 m = 0.208 \ km

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here u is the initial  speed of the aircraft with value 0 m/ s give that the aircraft started from rest

So  

    147^2 = 0^2 + 2* a* 0.208

=>  a =51945 \ km/h^2

The force of attraction between the opposite charges of the ions in an ionic compound
Contact [7]

The force of attraction between the opposite charges of the ions in an ionic compound is an ionic bond.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The transfer process of valence electron between atoms referred as ionic bond. This is a kind of chemical bonds which can create two oppositely charged ions. In the presence of ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons and becomes a positive charge cation, while non-metal accepts these electrons and becomes a negative charge anion.

Here, more than 1 electron can be emitted or received to meet the octet principle and the net charge of the compound should be zero. For example: Table salt. In this compound, sodium loses the electron to become N a^{+}, while the chlorine loses the electron to become c l^{-}.

HeLp AsAp!!!!!! How long would it take you to hop 30 meters based on your speed for the 5-meter trial? Show your work!
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

20.5s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance = 30m

Unknown:

Time  = ?

Solution:

The time it will take to hop a distance of 30m using the speed for the 5m trial is the duration of the trip.

 The speed for the 5m trial  = 1.46m/s

Now;

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

      Distance = speed x time

      time  = \frac{distance }{speed}

Input the parameters and solve;

     time  = \frac{30}{1.46}   = 20.5s
