What is the relationship between an object’s height above the ground and its gravitational potential energy?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

Since the gravitational potential energy of an object is directly proportional to its height above the zero position, a doubling of the height will result in a doubling of the gravitational potential energy. A tripling of the height will result in a tripling of the gravitational potential energy.

-9.8 m/s^s because thats the earth gravity so it will lose 9.8 m/s^2 until its stop and thats because its the opposite of the force towards the earth!
Hope it helps

(a) Find the voltage near a 10.0 cm diameter metal sphere that has 8.00 C of excess positive charge on it. (b) What is unreasona

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Part a)

$V = 7.2 \times 10^{11} Volts$

Part b)

this is a large potential which can not be possible because at this high potential the air will break down and the charge on the sphere will decrease.

Part C)

here we can assume the sphere is placed at vacuum so that there is no break down of air.

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the potential near the surface of metal sphere is given by the equation

$V = \frac{kQ}{R}$

here we have

Q = 8 C

R = 10.0 cm

now we have

$V = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8 C)}{0.10}$

$V = 7.2 \times 10^{11} Volts$

Part b)

this is a large potential which can not be possible because at this high potential the air will break down and the charge on the sphere will decrease.

Part C)

here we can assume the sphere is placed at vacuum so that there is no break down of air.
