The gravitational potential energy will increase

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy (GPE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field.

Near the Earth's surface, the GPE of an object is given by

$GPE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object above the ground

From the equation, we see that the GPE is directly proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass increases, the GPE will increase as well.

So, for the beanbag in this problem, when its mass increases, the GPE will increase as well.

Why is the sky blue ?

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time. Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white.

When the same masses are heated by the same amount, which of the following substances will heat up the slowest?

DochEvi [55]

When the same masses are heated by the same amount copper will heat up the fastest. Copper is a good conductor of heat that is why it easily heats up. Gold is not a good conductor of heat because of its stable properties.

When a driver presses the brake pedal, his car can stop with an acceleration of -5.4m/s^2. How far will the car travel while com

Dahasolnce [82]

Information that is given:
a = -5.4m/s^2
v0 = 25 m/s
---------------------
S = ?
Calculate the S(distance car traveled) with the formula for velocity of decelerated motion:
v^2 = v0^2 - 2aS
The velocity at the end of the motion equals zero (0) because the car stops, so v=0.
0 = v0^2 - 2aS
v0^2 = 2aS
S = v0^2/2a
S = (25 m/s)^2/(2×5.4 m/s^2)
S = (25 m/s)^2/(10.8 m/s^2)
S = (625 m^2/s^2)/(10.8 m/s^2)
S = 57.87 m
