Answer:

C. 21 Joules

Explanation:

We apply the formula to calculate the potential energy (Ep):

Ep=m*g*h

Where:

Ep : potential energy in Joules (J)

m :mass in kilograms (kg)

g  acceleration due to gravity  (m/s²)

h: height in meters (m)

Calculation of the height (h)

Ep = m*g*h

7 = (1.5 )*(9.8) *(h )

7 = (14.7) (h )

h = 7 /  (14.7)

h= 0.476 m

Gravitational potential energy of the second object

Ep = m*g*h

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = (4.5 )*(9.8) *(0.476 )

Ep = 21 J

Why do you see colors when you look at reflected light from a cd
Nady [450]
The colors that you see on the CD are created by white light reflecting from ridges in the metal. When light reflects off or passes through something with many small ridges or scratches, you often get rainbow colors and interesting patterns. They are called interference patterns.

8. The fact that voltage can be created by exerting force on a crystal is used in which type of sensor?
AfilCa [17]

Option C

The fact that voltage can be created by exerting force on a crystal is used in Knock sensor

<u>Explanation:</u>

Any knock to an engine exhibits as a little shake that is distinguished by the knock sensor. This sensor acts by altering the fluctuation to an electrical sign, which is later transferred to the processor mastering the ignition system.

There the variation in quake to the voltage sign modifies the timing improvements on the kindling. The knock sensor is placed on the engine base, cylinder cap or consumption manifold. This is because its purpose is to sense fluctuations affected by engine knock or explosion.
