Answer: D.) 39,200 J

Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height. In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:

$P.E.=(400kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2} )(10m)=39,200 J$

P.E.= 39,200 Joules

IM SOO CONFUSED PLS HELP!! The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by ____ Atomic Mass unit

nevsk [136]

Answer:

option a.

Explanation:

We can think of an atom as a nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) and some electrons orbiting it.

We also know that the mass of an electron is a lot smaller than the mass of a proton or the mass of an electron.

So, if all the protons and electrons of an atom are in the nucleus, we know that most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus of that atom.

Then we define the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Such that the mass of a proton (or a neutron) is almost equal to 1u

Then if we define A as the total number of protons and neutrons, and each one of these weights about 1u

(where u = atomic mass unit)

Then the weight of the nucleus is about A times 1u, or:

A*1u = A atomic mass units.

Then the correct option is:

The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by __1__ Atomic Mass unit.

option a.

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. Which of the following statements is not true? A. There must be a

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

False statement = There must be a non-zero net force acting on the object.

Explanation:

An object is moving at a constant speed along a straight line. If the speed is constant then its velocity must be constant. We know that the rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of the object i.e.

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

a = 0

⇒ The acceleration of the object is zero.

The product of force and acceleration gives the magnitude of force acting on the object i.e.

F = m a = 0

⇒ The net force acting on the object must be zero.

So, the option (a) is not true. This is because the force acting on the object is zero. First option contradicts the fact.
