It is 10.20 m from the ground.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Given:</u>
m = 0.5 kg
PE = 50 J
We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:
where m is the is mass in kg; g is acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s and h is height in meters.
PE is the Potential Energy.
Potential Energy is the amount of energy stored when an object is stationary.
Here, if we substitute the values in the formula, we get
50 = 0.5 × 9.8 × h
50 = 4.9 × h
h = 10.20 m
Answer: The answer is the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Explanation: Gravity is affected by mass and distance between two objects becuase if and object is too far the force of gravity will not be strong. The larger the object, the stronger the force of gravity will be.
Answer:
The statement is true.
Both gravity and centrifugal force act on the Moon which causes it get pulled towards Earth (gravity) and get "flung away" so it doesn't hit us (centrifugal force).
As an object falls from rest, its gravitational energy is converted to kinetic energy
G.P.E = K.E = mgh
K.E = (80 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(30 m)
K.E. = 23,520 J
