If any current is PRODUCED in an individual home, like with
a windmill or solar panels, it is direct current (DC).
The current SUPPLIED to homes by the local utility company
is alternating current (AC).
Answer:
The answer is C. 120,000 J.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy on the surface of the earth
= - GMm/ R
Potential at height h
= - GMm/ (R+h)
Potential difference
= GMm/ R - GMm/ (R+h)
= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )
= GMmh / R (R +h)
This will be the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.
Extra energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h
= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h
= 1/2 x potential energy at height h
= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)
Answer:
Mass and height
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 
Which is represented as;

stands for gravitational potantial energy,
m stands for mass of object,
g is the gravitational constant and
h is the height.
Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.
That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
