The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0,  therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.

A car of mass 800kg travels a distance of 40m at constant speed in a duration of 2.0s. The car exerts a forward force of 15kN.
Alex17521 [72]

W = F × s

W = 15kN × 40 m

W = 15.000 N × 40 m

W = 600.000 J

P = W/t

P = 600.000 J/2 s

P = 300.000 Watt

P = 300kWatt

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline n=1.38

Wavelength of Green light is \lambda =540\ nm

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from  front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for m=0

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}

t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}

t=97.82\approx 98\ nm

The speed of light is 3.00×108m/s. How long does it take for light to travel from Earth to the Moon and back again? Express your
bija089 [108]

Answer:

v = 3×10^8 m/s

s= 384,400 km= 3.84×10^8 m/s

t = ?

v = s/t = 2s/t

t = 2s/v

t = (2×3.84×10^8) ÷ 3×10^8

t = 2.56 seconds

Explanation:

Earth's moon is the brightest object in our

night sky and the closest celestial body. Its

presence and proximity play a huge role in

making life possible here on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull stabilizes Earth's wobble on its axis, leading to a stable climate.

The moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical. At perigee — its closest approach — the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee — the farthest away it gets — the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696

km) from Earth. On average, the distance fromEarth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). According to NASA , "That means 30 Earth-sized planets could fit in between Earth and the moon."
