Answer:

8 J

Explanation:

Heat = work + change in internal energy

Q = W + ΔU

15 J = 7 J + ΔU

ΔU = 8 J

Two identical space probes are orbiting Jupiter. Scientists determine that one of the space probes has a larger gravitational fo

galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter. (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

One of the leading causes of hearing impairment that's due to damage
of the ear machinery is prolonged exposure to loud noise or loud music,
which damage the tiny hair cells that stimulate nerve endings in the inner ear.

George walks to a friend's house. He walks 850 meters north before he realizes he walked too far.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

<h2>44 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

In this problem we are expected to calculate the velocity of Georges movements.

Given data

Total distance covered by George= 850+250= 1100 meters

Time taken by George to cover the total distance= 25 seconds

We know that velocity is, v= distance/ time

Therefore substituting our data into the expression for velocity we have

v= 1100/ 25= 44 m/s

Hence the velocity in m/s is 44

Which object has the most gravitational potential energy?

Kipish [7]

Answer: An 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the product of mass of object, height of object and gravitational field.

So, formula to calculate gravitational potential energy is as follows.

U = mgh

where,

m = mass of object

g = gravitational field = $9.81 m/s^{2}$

h = height of object

(A) m = 5 kg and h = 2m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 98.1 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(B) m = 8 kg and h = 2 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2 m\\= 156.96 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(C) m = 8 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 8 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 235.44 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

(D) m = 5 kg and h = 3 m

Therefore, its gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows.

$U = mgh\\= 5 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 3 m\\= 147.15 J (1 J = kg m^{2}/s^{2})$

Thus, we can conclude that an 8 kg book at a height of 3 m has the most gravitational potential energy.
