Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.68 kg

It is placed at a height of 8 m above the ground.

It is required to find the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel. It is possessed by an object due to its position. Its formula is given by :

E=mgh\\\\E=0.68\times 9.8\times 8\\\\E=53.312\ J

So, the gravitational potential energy of a squirrel is 53.312 J.

You drop your cell phone. Prior to hitting the ground, the phone's kinetic energy will ________ and its potential energy will __
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the phone would increase. The gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy {\rm KE} of an object is proportional to the square of the speed of that object. If air resistance is negligible, the phone would accelerate under gravitational pull and speed up. Hence, the kinetic energy of the phone would increase.

The gravitational field near the surface of the earth is approximately constant. Hence, the gravitational potential energy {\rm GPE} of the phone would be proportional to its height. As the phone approaches the ground, the height of the phone becomes lower and the gravitational potential energy of the phone would decrease.

The total yearly world consumption of energy is approximately 4.0 × 1020 J. How much mass would have to be completely converted
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

m = 4.4 × 10³ kg

Explanation:

Given that:

The total yearly energy is 4.0 × 10²⁰ J

The amount of mass that provides this energy can be determined by using the formula:

E = mc²

where;

c = speed of light in free space = (3 × 10⁸)

4.0 × 10²⁰ = m × (3 × 10⁸)²

m = \dfrac{4.0 \times 10^{20} }{(3\times 10^8)^2}

m = 4.4 × 10³ kg

 State how a ray of light can travel from air into glass without bending?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

If you shine a beam of light (a bundle of parallel rays) through the air, it will travel in a straight line. Rays of light usually travel in straight lines until they hit something. If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass.
