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

How much total surface of the moon is illuminated by the sun when it is at quarter phase?
alex41 [277]
50% of the moon is always illuminated, however during it's quarter phase means that we only see a quarter of what's really lit up. So it LOOKS like the moon is only 25% lit and 75% dark, it's truly 50/50. We only see that 25% since we can see it from one angle.

The universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects observed now at redshift of ______________
Nuetrik [128]

The redshift of distant galaxy are larger than those of closer galaxies, which indicates that the galaxy is receding at a faster rate.

  • The Universe was 5 percent its current size when light left objects now at redshift of <u>19</u>.

Reasons:

The size of the universe represented as a scale factor with relation to the redshift can be presented as follows;

\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0}  =\mathbf{ \frac{1}{1 + z}}

Where;

a₀ = The current size of the Universe

a = The size of the early Universe = 5% of a

Therefore;

\displaystyle \frac{a}{a_0}  =5\% = 0.05=  \frac{1}{1 + z}

\displaystyle 0.05  = \frac{1}{1 + z}

0.05 + 0.05·z = 1

\displaystyle z = \mathbf{ \frac{1 - 0.05}{0.05} } = 19

  • The redshift is of the observed light is, z = <u>19</u>
