Answer:

doubled

Explanation:

The energy possessed by the virtue of position or configuration of the body is called potential energy of the body.

The formula for the potential energy is given by

P.E = m g h

Where, m be the mass of the body, g be the acceleration due to gravity and h be the height.

So, if the height is doubled, the potential energy is also doubled.

Potential energy due to gravity = Ep = mgh [symbols have their usual meaning ]
Evidently, HALVING the mass will make Ep , HALF its previous value. So, It will be halved.

The photograph shows matter going through a physical change. Which characteristic of the matter changes?

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Possibly shape.

Explanation:

Because it is ripped in half. As you guys and the questioner can see that there is a wiggly strip down the middle. That also cause of a shape change.

I really hope my answer is right ^_^

A certain moving electron has a kinetic energy of 0.991 × 10−19 J. Calculate the speed necessary for the electron to have this e

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by an object by virtue of its motion.

$K.E=\frac{1mv^2}{2}$

K.E= kinetic energy = $0.991\times 10^{-19}J$

m= mass of an electron = $9.109\times 10^{-31}kg$

v= velocity of object = ?

Putting in the values in the equation:

$0.991\times 10^{-19}J=\frac{1\times 9.109\times 10^{-31}kg\times v^2}{2}$

$v=466462m/s$

The speed necessary for the electron to have this energy is 466462 m/s

What are some alike things between the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect

umka2103 [35]

The ozone layer traps heat from the sun's heat. only three-fourths are reflected back out into space by the ozone layer. the greenhouse effect traps carbon dioxide and so does the ozone layer.
